Of those listed below, I'd recommend first seeking out the excellent Drawing of Sound LP/CD - it's just been reissued on green vinyl with a white cover and black print (rather than the white on black for the first pressing). The CD is still available too. Also try to track down the Antarctica EP - 3 long tracks on Darla 12" and CD released earlier this year. The CD is kind of hard to find right now and it may be a bit before more are available. Discography (most of these are VERY hard to track down, the starred ones are still available with a little searching) Watersong/Dragonfly 7" (Nov. 93/Blue Flea) (edition of 300) Instrumentals 7" (July 94/Burnt Hair) (edition of 1000) Windy and Carl Cassette (July 94/Blue Flea) (edition of 50) Portal Cassette (Nov 94/Blue Flea) (edition of 200) Emerald/Fragments of Time and Space 7" (May 95/Enraptured) (edition of 500+) Left without Air 7" (July 95/Blue Flea) (split with Fuexa) (edition of 500) Drifting 12" (Oct 95/Blue Flea) (released as Once Dreamt) (edition of 1000) *Portal CD (Nov 95/Badabing!) Christmas Cassette (Dec 95/Blue Flea) (edition of 50) *Drawing of Sound LP/CD (Apr 96/Blue Flea) (vinyl edition of 600 + 1000) 5-song cassette (April 96 Blue Flea) (edition of 50) *Green 7" (Julyish 96/Burnt Hair) (split with Hopewell) *Antarctica 12"/CD (Feb 97/Darla) (edition of a whole bunch) Windy and Carl have contributed to numerous compilations, including: Mind Expansions Vol. 1 7", Electronic Evocations (Silver Apples Tribute 10"/CD), Detroit Electric CD, 10-Band Detroit-Area 7" on Go Sonic, Disco Sucks CD. An edited version of Antarctica is on the latest Darla sampler. Plans are in the works for a new album, likely to be a double, for later this year. I'll be working on a newsletter as the album is closer to release, and hopefully a website will be up later this year; I'll post to the list when it is. CJ CreigJ@aol.com
