there's going to be a new release by telefon tel aviv
coming out very soon. i put info on it on my music page,
dunno if you've seen it yet. it's called "immediate action
#8." i emailed hefty records for more info on it 2 weeks
ago, but i guess i emailed the wrong department cos they
didn't respond. i'll get a copy of the email from someone i
blind carbon copied it to and re-send it to another address
there. i will do my best to get a track listing for you and
all the other telefon tel aviv fans here!

hello mr steamtank
how do you going???
my answer:
well.... i don't know world cd average price.
we must pay for 18-19 bucks to buy
import cd.
on the other hand
for domestic cd we must pay for 25-30 buck.
you probably think import cd is very
expensive, right_??
but in japan
we could take import cd cheaper than
domestic cd .
this import cd i mentioned is without
song lyrics card.
personally i don't need it..
hehe

how about your place???
mr steamtank

with the most specific atmosphere on our small planet- and
polish flag is white-red too :o))

i hope hefty emails me back tomorrow, i can excuse them not
replying on a weekend but i'm going to be pissed off if they
blow me off from 2 different email addresses. i also asked
them about scott heron and the newport south soundtrack.

i got an email from them (actually slicker himself, cool!)
here's the whole thing (in pieces i'm sure)
------
> Dear Hefty,

what you're doing,

on.

Hey, John Hughes/Slicker here.

That's great to hear. We're trying to make our own path.

I think you're talking about him dropping just the
Delarosa+Asora alias.
Let me know if I'm wrong. He will definitely continue to
work as
Savath+Savalas. He is currently working on his new
full-length in
Barcelona... so the EP will not be his last.

> Next I have to ask about the soundtrack to Newport South.
I read that a

chunk by Telefon

However, like the movie
> the soundtrack hasn't been heard or heard from. What's
up?

Actually, the majority was done by Telefon Tel Aviv. I did
a few cues, as
did Scott Herren and Richard Devine. The movie and
soundtrack were both
buried by the film company. I think you can actually find
the DVD on
amazon.com, but the soundtrack isn't avialable... and
probably won't be any
time soon. The soundtrack is amazing however.

> Lastly, can I get a full track listing for Immediate
Action #8 and the price
> heftyrecords.com plans to sell it for?

I don't know what it will be selling for yet, but there will
be two new
tracks from Telefon, a Slicker remix from "Fahrenheit" as
well as Prefuse 73
remix. It's going to be a pretty nice record.

ok so it was cheap and assinine of me to try to con a free

least i arranged for myself a nice signed copy of it. in the

..asking this time :) i also asked if there is ever going to
be a region 1 (north america) dvd of scarlet diva, the movie
HE scored. it sounds like a fascinating movie and the lead
actress is a real spicy italian if you catch my drift
buddy!!! finally, i asked what else TTA were up to and if
joshua eustis is going to record an album with danny lohner.
i'll keep you posted on what he says, if anything else.

I think his Warp record won't be out until next year. We'll
see.

New Port South just wasn't a big priority for them. It's
too bad because
the soundtrack came out amazing. I heard that Scarlet Diva
was released in
NY this month. And it's funny, Asia the actress/director is
in that new Vin
Diesel movie, XXX... pretty crazy.

It would cost us an arm and leg in legal fees alone! There
was talk of it
for a little while, but ultimately it isn't worth it. All
the soundtrack
stuff isn't compiled on one proper CD, so it would be tough
to get you a
copy.

Right now they are working on their record for next year and
getting tour
dates together. I don't think Josh will be doing a record
with Danny, but
likely some more remix work.

that's about it. i just asked him some more about what
telefon are doing plus a question on behalf of a lot of you
regarding alternate ways to order hefty albums on their site
(w/o credit card).
