Another CD that should be mentioned is LA band - Skycycle "Ones and 
Zeros". They were on MCA (just like BKITW) and there were trade ads, 
there was even a song from it on a CMJ monthly CD, and then it just 
never came out. I remember that the band "gave the music away" about 
2-3 years back as downloadable MP3s. I think there are promo copies 
kicking around though..

of it,
