Matt Waldron Notes:
On a less exultant note, the triple-LP boxed edition of Dark Fat has finally materialised. My disappointed response is not due to the box itself, which is a thing of beauty for the entire world to enjoy for thousands of years far into the distant future; the trouble stems solely from the unfortunate fact that, due to administrative miscalculation (for lack of a better phrase), I've received a piddling 3 copies to sell. This has created a serious hiccup in my accounting, as I expected quite a few more than that to help carry me through the completion of the new irr. album (which is coming along very nicely, by the way). To try to remedy this shortfall, I've come up with 2 strategies.

One is to make each of these 3 copies a special edition of my own, including a CDR copy of 'Dark Drippings', a 2xCDR copy of the Dark Fat vinyl audio master, and at least one piece of specially-made original artwork sized 12" x 12" to fit in the box. Full details will follow as soon as I figure them out. If you haven't bought your copy of the box yet, you may want to hold off and save your pennies for this extra-ultra-snazzy version. The regular box is going for 45 euro (about $54), so this 3-copy special edition is going to be somewhat more expensive than that.

The second strategy is to create another 'Dark Drippings'-type collection from some of the raw material that wasn't used on other projects. Work on this new collection, titled 'A Darker Shade Of Fat', is already underway. I'm sure this might come across as milking the same tired cow one time more than is prudent, but the truth is there is a lot of material left to explore, and I'm making use of it in a far more unorthodox way: layering and manipulating the sources even beyond what was done on Dark Fat to create something distinctly different. So, less of an 'extras and outtakes' collection, and more of a self-contained work. This new album will only be released digitally to begin with, as I don't have the resources to make something physical right now; but I hope to make a small physical edition available in the not-too-distant future.

Also: some credits were accidentally left out of the album's liner notes, so perhaps I can remedy that here. I assembled and mastered the original Dark Fat CD album myself, and the re-editing and remastering of the album for vinyl was also done by me. Dig that: the little man is blowing his own horn. "Toot toot toot," says the little man.

All the best to all of you for the foreseeable future,
