Profile: I used to be a part-time music writer and DJ with a radio show and website called http://www.feedbackmonitor.com">Feedback Monitor, and I used to run a small record label called http://www.pieheadrecords.com">Piehead Records. I was also once a mod and editor here on Discogs.

Since 2005, I've pretty much "retired" from music-related projects, and I don't participate much on Discogs anymore, although I'm still a fan of a lot of electronic and other types of music.

Surgeon - Force + Form Oct 27, 2003
While not similar to them musically, this album is a tribute of sorts to the seminal industrial/experimental group Coil:

- "Force + Form" is the name of the label on which Coil released much of their early material.

- The phrase "Remnants Of What Once Was" appears in the liner notes of Coil's GOLD IS THE METAL album.

- The phrase "Black Jackal Throwbacks" was etched into the run-out groove on Coil's ANAL STAIRCASE 12".

- "Returning to the Purity of Current" was the subtitle of a CD reissue of GOLD IS THE METAL.

- "At The Heart of it All" is the name of a track on Coil's SCATOLOGY album.

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Electricity Sep 06, 2003
This single was previously released in May, 1979 on Factory Records (FAC 6). "Electricity" on that version was produced by Paul Collister and OMD, while "Almost" was produced by Factory producer Martin Hannett.

The first edition of this Dindisc version - released in September, 1979 - had both tracks produced by Martin Hannett (under the name Martin Zero).

A second edition of the Dindisc version came out in April, 1980, with both tracks replaced by versions produced by Chester Valentino and OMD.

Ant-Zen Sep 04, 2003
Most Ant-Zen releases with "ikon" cat #s are merchandise such as shirts, mugs, etc. Only ikon 1, 2 & 4 were used for music releases.

The "jed" cat #s were used for a series of four 7" releases in 1994. It is unlikely that the "jed" prefix will be used for any future releases.
