I think that they are now on More Rockers although I may be mistaken.
They have just had a new 12" released in past few weeks although I
haven't yet heard it and don;t have the title to hand. Not much good
I'm afraid.

It's quite good although not quite as good as the first 12" but you
have to hear the remix of 'This is Carbootechnodiscotechnobooto' now
entitled 'Return Of Carbootechnodiscohardcore Jumble Roadshow' which
throws acid, techno and trip hop into the original melting pot of
60's guitar sounds and jungle. The other tracks are more in a dancey
house vein but they didn't really grab me on first listen as much as
the first 12" but I haven't really had time to listen to it closely
and probably won't have time in the near future (Still have both Headz
compilations, the new DJ Shadow 7" and new 12"s from Tortoise, Tony
D., Ratman, Saturnines, Blueshift and STS sitting waiting in my room
to be listened to - phew!!)
