I have to say I'm a bit disappointed at Alan Robinson's use of quotes from my New Musik site, in the 2001 CD booklet. Partly because he never asked me, and partly because he never credited me (or Miklos Galla who did the interviews!).

Lee Mansfield told me 14 April 2001: "There were a few tracks that were written around the same time [Anywhere sessions] that were never released. One I remember being played on a radio interview with Tony (Radio Jackie - a local South London based station) and it was called 'Pleasure Moves' - it had a similar feel to 'From The Village'."

The Planet Doesn't Mind [12" mix] 4.45/24 Hours from Culture - Part II 3.38 (GT 13 302)

The group 'X Visitors' made a cover version of The Planet Doesn't Mind. Three versions were made: vocal version 3.59, instrumental 4.48 and Club Remix 7.30. Produced by Diane Dragon for Sutra Records New York City. A member, Chris Arevalo, emailed me March 16th 2000: "my name is Chris Arevalo. during 1982, i was playing in a top 40 band called ROJAS in san jose, california. i also worked in a record store called star records which was owned by diane dragone. during that time, the hottest song in that area was the remix of planet doesnt mind. we would order around 20 copies and it would be gone within the hour. it became hard to find a copy. diane dragone presented the song to my band, and at first the band was skeptical about redoing the song, but i convinced them to re record it. we recorded it in a 24 track studio in san jose. i played 75% of the recording. i paid a programmer to create most of the sounds on my keyboards. some of the sounds we couldn't create so we used tuned glasses of water to create the beginning sounds. that was really fun (yeah right!) even though diane dragone named the project x-visitors, we still used the rojas name when we played the song live. our version did very well in major cities, and was one of most requested songs on KMEL in san francisco, became a minor dance hit. one more thing, people are willing to pay up to 50 dollars for a copy of both the new musik or the x-visitors version. every so often, a dj would add it to their mix. i didnt get paid much of doing the keyboard work, but during that time the band i was with was getting popular for recording it. oh by the way, the lead singer who sang is named david taylor. we tried to make him sound english. the sessions were really funny in some ways. one more note....after we couldn't get anymore import copies. the store started making lists of customers who wanted the remix. i believe we had thousands of customers on sheets of paper. when the x-visitors version came out, only Star Records ( the store i worked at) had the copies. I only wish to thank Tony Mansfield for writing "The Planet" His album "Warp" inspired me greatly, and his production was awesome.

In May 1989, the group Twice the Love made their version of 24 Hours from Culture (Who's That Beat/Play It Again Sam, WHOS 013). Four versions were made: single version 3.50, instrumental, extended 5.50 and Enjoy Mix.

INFO FROM TONY MANSFIELD HIMSELF: (5 Jan 2000) "1) A new "new musik" album is in production and should be released in autumn this year. [note: this has been delayed!] 2) The original masters are owned by Sony after GTO records were sold to Sony in 1982. Product is subject to availability however there are plans to re-package the original albums and for a new compilation. 3) There were two UK tours (1980/1981). Live tapes do exist and there were two early promo videos for "Living By Numbers" and "This World Of Water". 4) I still keep in contact with Clive (we last played together at a garden party in summer 98!!) and Tony Hibbert. Clive now works for a software company and Tony has a "live music" bar in South London. I lost contact with Phil Towner and Cliff Venner. 5) Aside from new musik, I was recently in Dublin, Ireland collaborating with Jane Siberry on an album by Japanese artist "Sotoma". I've produced an album for new Columbia artist "Ilene Barnes" and negotiations are underway in the US for a new "Naked Eyes" album based on the songs written by Rob Fisher before he sadly died." (Thanks to Mark Hershberger for doing this on-line short interview with Tony and for kindly providing it to my mailing list.)
