I did and Nina Walsh is mostly listed as a producer/engineer, with a "multi-instrumenalist" credit on Slab!'s 1996 release. So perhaps this is where we have heard her before.

I seem to have missed any posts regarding this album, and only found out about it today! "The Damage Manual" is Chris Connelly - vocals, Jah Wobble - bass, Geordie Walker - guitar, Martin Atkins - drums and loops with Lee Fraser - synths and tweaks. The CD, simply called "The Damage Manual" was released on Invisible Records in September 2000 (INV143CD). And the 10th track is listed as: Sunset Gun (Fully Monty Sunny Orb Up Mix) (5:16) There are also mixes by Laswell & Wobble as well, which makes for (what looks like) an interesting album (Wobble, Orb, Laswell, Nine Inch Nails, etc.). So, has anyone heard it yet?

Yeah...it is *exactly* what you'd expect from that group of people. Nice, competent, certainly worth getting if you like any/all of the talent involved, but nothing extraordinary; all of them have made far better music on their own or with other projects.

According to a posting on the Gut Records website, www.gutrecords.com, the band, whose last release was a single, 'Diary Of A Wimp' last year, postponed the release of their new album, which had a working title of 'Love You More Than Football', to enter the studio with the electronica pioneers. Mainman Tommy Scott has now written "four new songs that he wants on the album", which are described as "much heavier than the rest...(they) signify a return to the beatfreak side of Space." A spokesperson for Space told NME.COM that the new material would definitely see the light of day in 2001, with a possible single release sometime in April. He commented: "They've been working with Andy Hughes from The Orb and he's brought them right on line, the album is just a couple of tracks from completion now, we're all excited." Apparently, nobody told them that Andy's not in the Orb anymore. Can't wait for this collaboration (although I dont really know Space, except their version of the Bee Gee's Massachussets on the Gotta Get a message to you tribute CD) JCFromParis - -- # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 16:44:56 -0500 (EST) From: Boob McNutt Subject: Re: (orb) I know where Andy Hughes is (sort of) > > > According to nme.Com : > > ...FOOTBALL' POSTPONED > SPACE have "put the breaks" on the release of their new album, so > they can enter the > studio with THE ORB to record more new material. great, just what we needed.
