1. hot stuff comin' through

hello loves! this newsletter is being thrown together at the last minute
to tell you about some shows in berlin this coming week, and our first
internet exclusive mp3 now available for free download at comatonse.com.

my random bitchy story this issue involves receiving a package with no
cover letter containing three copies of the new instinct compilation 
"daft electro," featuring a track of mine from 1993 presented as a
brand new track. gee, it's wonderful to know that the people who own my
back catalog are interested in maintaining such healthy relationships
with their artists, and keeping us informed about how our works are
being used. does instinct really need to rub it in our faces that we
have no say in how or when our tracks are used? maybe they are afraid we
might actually ask for some sort of advance. churn it out, baby.... even
an artificially excited phone call announcing plans to re-issue an old
track would have been better than an after-the-fact package dropped at
the front door like a flaming bag of dog shit.

love, terre

although the cd presents all tracks as copyright/publishing 2000, this
track of mine was originally released in 1993 on the instinct compilation
"plug in + turn on."

four-track ep:
ultra-red: "n30"
label: none (self released by ultra-red)
format: cd

ultra-red press release:
"ULTRA-RED DEBUT "N30", A SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION EP AT MASSIVE STREET
MOBILIZATION TO SHUT DOWN THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND AND WORLD
BANK.

To lend its collective din to the cry for economic democracy, the audio
activist organization Ultra-red premiered its new four-track EP, "N30"
on the streets of Washington DC during the mobilization to shut down the
IMF and World Bank.

Working with organizers of the mass-protests, Ultra-red has distributed
a limited edition self-produced CDR to guerrilla DJs and micro-radio
activists. "N30" features three dance tracks composed in the minimal
house genre. Every sound on the EP is taken from location recordings
made during the 40,000 person mobilizations against the WTO in Seattle,
Washington. The fourth track on "N30" is a breathtaking ten minute
soundscape compiling acoustic events from the November 30th protest.

Ultra-red hopes these tracks contribute to the carnival of resistance in
the Washington DC streets while simultaneously invoking the spirit of
solidarity that has brought together protesting workers in the
overdeveloped and underdeveloped worlds.

On April 16 and 17, 2000 thousands of activists from around the world
gathered in Washington DC to protest the neoliberal economic policies of
the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF). Attracting
activists from numerous social justice movements in the US and
worldwide, these protests expressed a broad-based resistance to the ways
in which policies of both institutions are detrimental to human rights,
the environment and labor rights.

The stateside swell of protests beginning with November 1999's massive
shut-down of the World Trade Organization in Seattle, comes as a result
of long-standing neoliberal policies at long last coming home to roost.
For decades, third world countries in the tricontinental Africa, Asia
and South America have felt the harsh effects of IMF and World Bank
privatization schemes, local currency devaluation, land grabbing by
transnational corporations and massive military investment. With the
advent of the World Trade Organization in the early 1990s, the brute
force of globalization began to be felt by workers in the United States.

The level of outcry against anti-democratic, monopolistic global
capitalism reached a groundswell with last year龝 famous "Battle In
Seattle" when rank and file activists and workers literally barricaded
delegates to the WTO ministerial talks. On April 16 and 17, those same
activists will be joining their brothers and sisters in the
underdeveloped world to shut down the annual summits of the  World Bank
and IMF � the other two heads in the hydra of corporate-dominated global
capitalism. Reactionary defenders of the global order, both liberals and
conservatives, characterize global resisters as blind to the benefits of
free trade. The stinging truth is that the benefits only reach the
wealthiest while the majority whether in America or in countries like
Bolivia, bear the savage effects of the manic upward redistribution of
wealth and environmental devastation."
