Extract from Release Music Magazine... Earlier in the year, the band announced they were due to release a new album. Bang. Right back at work after years apart. This double album is truly a revelation. Brunt sequences, epic sound- scapes, mind-numbing perfection - amazing work. The tracks flow in and out of one another with effortless grace. "Well-Come" is a very welcome listening experience from beginning to end. The willingness to experiment and not be confined by formulas are the hallmarks of these visionaries. Discarding trends (as always), Portion Control show once more just what electronic music is all about. Just when you think you've heard it all, these elder sta- tesmen show up alive and kicking with vitality.

PORTION CONTROL =========================================== ITV (UK) requested an instrumental of Blind Eyes to use as background for certain action sequences during Euro 2004. The first instance was broadcasted before the England vs. Switzerland game-17 June, subjecting well over 12 million viewers to a burst of Wayne Rooney accompanied by portion control! http://euro2004.itv.com =========================================== 005: PORTION CONTROL LIVE @ TINITUS 04.11.06 =========================================== Portion Control have just announced they will play their first 'transmission' outside the UK at the Tinitus Festival in Sweden. The 6th Tinitus festival will be held on November 6, at their praised venue München-bryggeriet in Stockholm city. With a much larger second stage and surrounding area, they uncover perhaps their greatest line-up ever. 8 live bands on 2 stages, dj's and vj's on two dancefloors all night. More info @ http://www.tinitus.com which will be updated to include Portion Control on the list of acts. =========================================== 006: HEADSTORM MAXI SINGLE IN PROGRESS =========================================== Work continues on the much anticipated 'headstorm' maxi single. It is likely that an exclusive club edition will be prepared for the electronic dance floors.... It seems that headstorm is the projects working title and not a likely track title. The single may see another onion jack epic- mixed for head phone listening...? =========================================== 007: 319 MAILING LIST =========================================== 319 @ Yahoo Groups: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/319/ Subscribe: 319-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Post message: 319@yahoogroups.com Unsubscribe: 319-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com =========================================== 008: CONTACT AND INFORMATION =========================================== portion-control.net PO Box 44647 London N 16 SXU England info@portion-control.net www.portion-control.net // 319-online // official fan site www.319-online.net
