Brenda's Iron Sledge
Kevin Z. Slick
"A great song will stand up to a lot of abuse. I like to stretch the limits of good taste whenever possible. I think that if a song has been done well one way, why repeat it? Robyn and the band did a great version of Brenda the first time around, why not take it in another direction completely?"

John Hedges
"Though I'm primarily a guitarist, this is a keyboard-only version, fully sequenced and drowning in so much digital reverb that the details are completely inaudible on anything but the most expensive audio equipment," says John "JH3" Hedges, former Senses Bureau frontman and occasional bean-sprout packaging consultant. Recorded directly to master cassette.
(Note: this sounds great on headphones. -bc)

Flavor of Night
Nismo S. Rebrot
Cardiff, Wales
"Flavour of Night", "Glass Hotel" and "I Used To Say I Love You" were regurgitated, in that order, by Nismo S. Rebrot, during September and October 1994. Rawdoh T. Whirg sung and cogurgitated "I Used To Say...". Mr E., son of Ensoniq, codename SQ1+, sung most electronic voices, accompanied only by sporadic cries from TX802, daughter of Yamaha, on "I Used To Say...". All operations were performed within a stones throw, as the crow flings, from the green bells of Cardiff if if if if, Wales, UK. Thanks to Rawdoh and the University of Wales.

Dolph Chaney
Having finished 4-track recordings of 13 songs at home, Dolph is in the process of combining some of those with (gasp!) "real studio recordings" -- a first -- to comprise his first-ever CD project, New Bird. A tape of the 4-track version costs $5, but it comes with a $5 coupon toward the CD version! Whatta bargain!!! Dolph would also be glad to send you a tape of any of his first three albums, Ripples, Infinity Dogs, and Humbug Glory, or Lho Phi, a 90-minute tape of rehearsals, odds and ends that show the more electric side of his work. Located in the Atlanta area, Dolph might even brave the world of live performance later this year. Stay tuned!
