OFF: Arch Met & darXtar

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

several points - unusual story I hear re the Delerium guys but not for me to
comment - there are usually pretty good reasons as to why a label like this
takes such time.
For my part as Dead Earnest label owner, if I want to do a CD with someone I
will tell them, but if I'm not ready to do it right now, then I tell the
band to try others and if, when I'm ready, they still haven't got a deal,
then we can do it - fair to me - fair to the band.
Actually I didn't know Darxtar had recorded a new album at all so if they're
listening and the Delerium ink isn't dry then I'd like a shot at hearing it.
As to new Arch Met CD, it's fantastic and, for UK/Euro customers, will be
available from CD Services if only they'd (Arch Met that is) reply to my
e.mail.
More to follow, no doubt.......
Andy Garibaldi.
