Here's an almost full discography (what is on PUSSYFOOT001? - anybody)

PUSSYFOOT 002 JENNY DEVIVO Love Is All I Live For
PUSSYFOOT 003 HOWIE B. Birth
PUSSYFOOT 004 SIE & N:M RATIO Deep Blue
PUSSYFOOT 005 NAKED FUNK Alien Groove Sensation
PUSSYFOOT 006 SPACER Dead On Arrival

PUSSY 009 SPACER Agent Orange (10")

PUSSY 011 KENSUKE SHIINA Ring Of Fire
PUSSY 012 HEADRILLAZ Hot 'N' Bovvud
PUSSY 013 SPACER Contrazoom (10")

PUSSYFOOT LP001 VARIOUS Best Foot Forward
PUSSY LP002 SPACER Atlas Earth
PUSSY LP003 NAKED FUNK Valium

WALLPUSST VARIOUS Wall Of Pussy E.P.
WALLPUSSLP1 VARIOUS Wall Of Pussy L.P.

Everything is of a high standard (although I haven't yet got the Naked
Funk album) but worth checking out first are the compilation albums
'Best Foot Forward' - which contains most of the tracks from the first
5 releases, 'Wall Of Pussy' - a joint release with Wall Of Sound and
the new 'Pussy Galore' - a James Bond themed LP, all of which contain
a wide and excellent choice of music. I personally prefer all of these
to the Spacer LP.

Its hard to descibe everthing on the label but its mostly trip hop,
techno and ambient flavoured with a more electronic than real feel
except for Dobie who comes from a more hip hop background. (His track
from the 'Pussy Galore' LP whose title escapes me - something like
'The Return Of The Revenge Of The (..something..) Of Golgol 13' is a
current fave.)

It is also probably best not to try and track down the singles before
the LPs as the first 5 can be found on the first comp. (mentioned
above) the 'Agent Orange' release has tracks from the 'Atlas Earth'
LP, 'Contrazoom' can be found on the 'Pussy Galore' LP and the 'Wall
Of Pussy' E.P. has two tracks from the LP of the same name (although
it does have two exclusive tracks.)

The singles that are on any of the compilations are the Dobie E.P.'s,
(the first of which is a street soul/hip hop type thing featuring Don
E. and Rodney P. (London Posse) and the second a set of remixes of the
first with a couple of bonus beats and the brilliant Fugees sampling
'Ooh La La'), the 'Ring Of Fire' 12" (the tracks from which escape me
at the moment) and the Headrillaz 12" which has two Chemical Brothers
styled uptempo technoish tracks.

There are also a couple of new 12"s due from Sie and Headrillaz in the
next few weeks if my information is correct.

Hope this helps,

Colin.
