Pretty impressive, no? I’d love to be at this one, but as I’ll be back in Tokyo 20 days after this, it’s not that practical. The Mix CD itself is all ready to go, however, and my copy will be hurtling down the coast towards me very soon indeed, all being well.

Another event well worth mentioning is Guld’s trip to Nagoya, where he will play at the merrily-named FUNERAL on the same date. The event is exclusively Nu-NRG, Hard NRG and Acid, and once again I’m debating whether I can make it or not. A few weeks ago Guld mentioned that he was playing somewhere in my neck of the woods, and so I assumed that might mean Okayama, or at least Osaka. Nagoya is a bit further than I can manage right now, I think. But never say never – I’ve got a week to come up with a cunning plan, after all.
