And awesome music at that by none other than cinap_lenrek. I do short run record cutting on dub and mastering plates and wanted to commemorate this latest release with like 9 or maybe 19 records if anyone is interested at near or just over cost plus shipping (world wide, they'd be coming from the USA). Further details are here: http://9front52.sdf.org/acetate email me if you're interested and I'll let you know when they're ready. These are metal/aluminium disks that have a laquer/shellac formula on them (not vinyl). They're a step in the vinyl mastering process and are used to create the "mother" and the "stampers". On a decent record player they'll last quite a while, easily 200 plays. They're individually numbered, cut and hand cranked lead in/run out groove on a Presto 8DGV lathe. I also just want to say as someone who has dabbled in Plan9 since 1994 I think what 9front as a community has done is amazing. I look forward to the great work, especially work catering to quirky artists, that is bound to come. soon. SMJ
