after witnessing one of the most amazing acid electro live sets we have ever, ever seen (b12 @ ) we are trying to persuade the boys to restart b12 recs, and release their new material...and maybe repress some of those old, ultrarare clasasics... they have been gone a while, and it seems that a lot of electronic music has forgotten the lessons of beautiful, simple, and uplifting electronics. is now the right time? or have they been gone too long? |

*FAINTS* If you've got their fucking phone number or email I will CONVINCE them. If ANYONE, ANYONE needs to a). Release new records b). Make their old records available ... it is B12 *FAINTS AGAIN* |

Have you really got their ear, Seed? What are they up to? How come they're playing live again? Electro(Soma) is in my Top 3 Records of ALL TIME, Prelude (pt 1) in my Top 2, Time Tourist in my TOP 5. Fuck.... tell them, make their bloody stupid limited to 8 copies CLASSIC 12"s all available in a box set of both CD and vinyl and to MAKE NEW MUSIC. I like the classic B12 sound, I liked the different direction that 3ep hinted at, but I think they should stick to what the do best, futuristic, gleaming, pristine detroit tinged electro soul, pure B12. Bastards, and if they want their website redoing after 10 odd years I'm their man. |

we managed to persuade them out of hiding for our last tube party, to play alongside the orb, john peel and coil...our heroes and inifluences...sadly peel passed away 2 weeks before the gig, then we were suddenly cancelled by london underground, which inadvertantly led to john balances death, and the collapse of seed records (which we have been fighting ever since) however, they agreed to play at the wheels instead of hooves bash in march we were co-hosting, alongside a skam showcase, vibert, ceephax, plaid, etc...and they completely stole the show. security had to close the doors of the room they were playing in because it was so rammed... since then they have played, with us (posthuman), 5 other gigs, aand been refining their old sound to new hardware, and writing a load of new stuff, which i can tell you is fucking amazing... they are donating (as redcell) a track to our ultra-limited, hand numbered 4 part release later this summer, and are also booked to play the acid-on-thames boat party in london later this month... |

if they have new material, why wouldn't they want to release it? |
||||||||

i dont know. thats why we are trying to convince them to start b12 records up again |

And you'll be putting me, dog_belch@hotmail.com , on the Special Priority Ordering mailing list for your ultra limited, hand numbered 4 part release, won't you? I'm not, sadly, in London, nor the UK, but if you have any recordings of live stuff you can safely give it to me because twice, TWICE I went specially to see them back in the day 97, 98, ohh what's that place in Islington, then once at the old Warp Blech nights, and both times they pulled out. So they OWE ME. |

They played recently at Jack's (London Bridge). The gig was called "The Poke". They also played at electrowerks a while back, I think last summer, and it was their first plying in the uk for some time. They are really good and yes, they should come back. |

I did actually write to Mike somewhere else on the WEBZOID today saying that I hope they get round to releasing something new, or even something old, so YES, sound advice. |
||||||||
|
|

|

That would be like a SUPER permanent ban. |
||||||||
|
|

no they shouldn't release anything!!!! they should be bootleg-slapped all over the place for still not having released anything of their new work. anybody know of some recordings of their recent shows? seed, good luck with talking some sense into those guys |

I'm sure the one at electrowerks was recorded; even Aphex went as a spectator to see them, it was funny seeing him play on the SNES. I didn't see anyone recording their live performance at Jacks The Poke, but there may have been sombody. |
