A bit of a delayed reply, but I've just managed to read all the old posts
which I had been putting off for weeks (about 1,000 messages! At one point
you guys were sending 50 e-mails a day!)
Regarding AtmosFear, I didn't realize they were still performing. I
remember the first time I heard Dancing in Outer Space.. I really only
listened to hip hop at the time, but after hearing this tune, I decided I
really needed to expand my mind to other types of music. Unfortunately, I
know very little about them, and although I've heard they had one LP, which
is supposedly amazing, I've also been told that it's outrageously expensive
now, and has never been reissued.. I did manage to get a reissue of
Motivation/Extract which as far as I know is easily obtainable in the UK..
I was searching eBay the other day for AtmosFear and this is what came up,
but unfortunately I missed the bidding :( Seemed like a really good price
as well.. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=341433707
I've never even heard of most of those tracks.. All I know are Dancing in
Outer Space, Motivation and Extract.. Can anyone tell me what the other
stuff is like? I'd also be interested in finding out exactly how many
albums they came out with, and what the names are..
