  Over 12 months ago (November 1992 to be precise), a new electronic 
music label was formed here in Brisbane Australia for the purposes of 
producing new and innovative independant music for (predominantly) 
eastern Australia, as well as a wider audience (such as the Internet 
user-base and the general public).

  The following is a copy of the original posting:

> Greetings,
>
> This post is to introduce you to Transmission Communications, a new 
> music label based in Brisbane, and catering for artists in the local 
> region (Queensland), and possibly interstate as well.
>
> Transmission Communications has been formed to provide a platform 
> whereby underground artists can release product without the 
> restrictions of a major label deal.
>
> Transmission Communications is concerned mainly with Electronic 
> Music. Our interests are with artists involved with Innovative 
> Electronic Pop, Industrial, Ambient Techno, Progressive, and 
> Experimental music. Our activities will centre around the 
> introduction of new bands/artists to the public, and the development 
> of a new and interesting option in the Australian music scene.
>
> Our mode of operation will centre around compilation CD's and DJ 
> promo vinyl releases, along with the development of associated promo 
> material and other mediums of information.
>
> So, if you have a killer demo, or are simply fooling around with 
> your stack of analogue keyboards, samplers, bits of wire, and 
> associated equipment, we'd love to hear (from) you.

  And so we come to our initial release, titled 'Evidence' 
(evidently). This 17-track compilation CD of electronically inclined 
artists, comprises talent that is both local (and inherently new for 
the Brisbane scene), and external (artists who have expressed interest 
in releasing initial or otherwise exlusive material on TransCom). 
Transmission Communications will always provide innovative material to 
its interest base, and above all will endeavour to source work that 
is emergent.

  The work is the culmination of 12 months preparation and development 
within the label in order to initiate with a superior, innovative 
compilation that represents the true alternative (for Brisbane anyway 
;) ). 'Evidence', in a limited initial run of 500 copies, is scheduled 
for release mid-Q1 1994 (about March). The label is also arranging 
registration of specially designed packaging for the CD's.

  In terms of local/external participation, the content is 
approximately 50/50. The CD provides completely new and developing 
talent such as The Sphere, Blood Party, and The U.N, along with 
underground experimentalists such as Evolver, SonnenSystem and Daniel 
Hack, and sources product from local innovators House Guests and The 
Isle. We welcome Now Zero, who have incorporated previous work on 
the Volition label ("High - A Dance Compilation") and through Clan Analogue,
and Ghee, who established his involvement via the Internet (probably the first
of several using this mode). 

  A limited edition DJ remix 12" is expected to be prepared to 
complement the release later in '94, along with promotional cassette 
versions for media. In several cases, individual works from these 
artists will follow. Australian release will be through selected 
independant stores and Central Station, otherwise mail-order will be 
available direct from TC.

  This will be the first glimpse of what will follow from Transmisison 
Communications, in an ongoing project to provide *the* platform for 
release of underground electronic and alternative music.

  Interested parties should make themselves known...
