Actually Archive just released a new single, YOU MAKE ME FEEL and a new
album (the name of which I don't recall). The single had tons of mixes on
promo but only SPECTRE and DANNY ROSE on the commercial 12". It was just
okay (IMHO). Mighty Quark kick their ass :>

speaking of disappeared groups, i was listening to archive again and
wondering what the hell happened to them, and why they didnt get as
popular as most other groups. Id put them right behind portishead. Have
any of you heard of them?
