....and also licensed by Bad Magic in the UK (a branch of Wall of Sound) -
who have released a mini LP and two singles so far this year. To be honest
I really like their sound, very old school sounding and not bad, if a bit

Other good stuff so far on Bad Magic includes Jerry Beeks (Touche and Sense
Live), Vinyl Dialect (apparently from the very unlikely home of UK Hip Hop
- Ipswich) and a recent single from Cage (who I know nothing about).
