Hey all, Q-Burns here...
Thanks for having the MIXED EMOTIONS album in front of you! Here's the
confusing story behind all those logos... Eighth Dimension is our US label
which licensed the compilation to Delancey Street for release in the UK.
They have a deal with a major UK distributor named Vital, who manufacture
the albums and get Delancey Street releases in the shops. As Vital
distributes a lot of different types of music, they seperate their
dance-oriented releases by saying that they are distributed by Vital's
dance music sub-company, which is Charged. Whew.
As far as MIXED EMOTIONS goes, we are finished with the follow-up
compilation called SELECTED MATERIAL. We probably won't be going through
Delancey Street for this release, and are presently talking to a few US
labels. We hope to have this released by Autumn. Like the last compilation,
it contains tracks by DJ BMF, Pimp Daddy Nash, Q-Burns Abstract Message,
and Dubmarine, as well as new acts Dynagroove and Lickerish Quartet. Any
inquiries or requests for information can be sent to Eighth Dimension at
8d@badmood.com
As usual, I will keep everyone informed!
