Last I heard, as of about 1.5 months ago, "Multidirections2" was still
being held up while the UFO guys looked for "one more band" to include
on the album. It could be at least another 2 or 3 months until that
album is released, but when its released here I'll try to let y'all
know.

Other developments? There was a Fukuoka "Rap" group that appeared
on "Multidirections" called SMALL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS (no relation) who'd
released a 4-track ep as of mid-last year that was produced by UFO.
Other than that and the recent UFO remix single, I'm not aware of
any other recent stuff (Rob?).

I don't know from "Mr. Brownswood," but the UFO threesome (who seem
to be in charge of production for "Brownswood Records," generally DJ
a mix of Jazz, Brazilian, Abstract and Hip-Hop. I know that Raphael
has been co-hosting Jungle shows recently, but I don't know if this is
part of his recent playlist when he goes on with the other two (feel
free to jump in any time, Rob :-).
