    Press Release - Feb. 6, 2002

    It's now official

    SoftArt Studios announces Citrona Recordings.

    A small, do it yourself, record label devoted to nothing but tunes. The
    kind of tunes we are enjoying so much that we just have to release them
    ourselves.

    Citrona is a Florida based label featuring Shadow Records recording
    artist Greg Long as well as other fascinating talent.

    We're keeping things as simple as possible for monetary purposes but
    also to keep the spot light on the most important part of this endeavor,
    the music.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------------------------------------

    The first EP is to be released sometime late March or early April,
    however we will have 150 white labels within the next few weeks which
    will be hand numbered to give away.

    We feel our first release is quite strong. With a deep and moving remix
    by Kinder Atom, a great collaboration between Greg Long and Mark
    Blisseden and two original unreleased tracks by Greg Long.

    Vitamin C EP - Sometimes deep, dark and heavy yet maintaining an airy
    feel of texture and light through the use of live instruments, strong
    (yet not over-baring ornate percussions, serious electric piano and
    horns, funky bass lines and moody synths. Other times bittersweet and
    whimsy though having ample weight in melody structure to maintain a
    steady path for the listener.

    I have to give these guys extra creative credit not only on these great
    tracks but the fitting song titles for Citrona's first record. Clips of
    all four tracks can be found at www.citrona.net

    CIT01 Vitamin C EP
    A1. Vitamin C - Greg Long
    A2. Vitamin C Orange Julius mix - Kinder Atom (Nice+Smooth Toronto)

    B1. A Tang of Shaddy Orange - Fingerflag - Greg Long and Mark Blisseden
