Steve asked: "is Mephisto Oddyssey's "Dream..." available on any
collections yet? And how about their new track?"

The remix of Mephisto Odyssey's "Dream of the Black Dahlia" is on the City Of
Angels/Moonshine compilation "Jazz Head Trip", which also has a variety of
similar sounding stuff from bands such as Crystal Method and Bass Kittens. A few
grand prizes on this comp as well (Mephisto being one of them, of course).

There is also a compilation coming out any day now on Twitch Records in San
Francisco that has an unreleased Mephisto Odyssey track, though they are using
the name "Odyssey Arcane" for some reason. This compilation is only on vinyl, as
far as I know.

The new Mephisto Odyssey 12" is a "stormer" according to Steve at their record
label, and the release date is "about now" so be sure to look for that. Also, in
the next month or so, Mephisto Records will be releasing a compilation CD of
various bands and cuts from their 12" releases.

Check out the new Fluid Motion 12" on Mephisto Records... it is excellent! A
great club track with heavy hip hop drums and a house/dance feel. Jazzy DJs
should be falling over themselves for this.

Also, while I'm plugging these guys, let me tell you that the Mephisto Odyssey
web site is at http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~rob_j/mephisto.html
