We want Hiero Medallions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Word! They're actually done! WE HAVE MEDALLIONS! The only shitter is the store's a complete operational mess at the moment. If you get the chance to peep Hiero in your city, you can pick one up at the show for about 10 beans.

Alright, I love the Hiero sound, but finding your guys' albums is nearly impossible here in Arizona. Any suggestions?

Try www.cdnow.com. You may be able to find some left over goodies over there.

I heard that FOCUS was supposed to be put out on wax awhile back. Have you heard anymore on if that's even happening and if so, when?

Oh, it's definately happening. You can expect FOCUS online in CD, cassette and vine-l forms shortly after the crew returns from their U.S. tour in mid-October. You can pick up the cassette at all shows and shops in the Bay such as Amoeba and Zebra records.

Is Del's new album "Both Sides of the Brain" going to be released on vinyl?

Oh yea. It'll be a full-fledged Hiero record with vine-l, cd, cassette, singles, 12"'s, most likely a video, and all the trimmings. It's gonna be dope, watch.

Hay!!! What the hell is happening with the Prose album? When I talk to pep in july he said late august early september......well its going in to october and still nothing. Whats the deal???

Those two cats have so much material it's ridiculous. To hold you Prose fans over until the REAL shit drops, you can expect some truly innovative Shamen bump on the up and coming (no, I'm for real this time) Domino's Hiero Oldies Vol. II. I heard a smidgen and was psyched like "JAY! PEP! Drop ya'll shit!". It's coming, they're constantly working. I'll try to get some new song clips when they return from tour in October.

Have you guys ever thought about putting up some mp3's?

Yea, I've actually been tossing the idea around for a good year or so; we just haven't had an opportunity to do anything innovative with it yet. Perhaps in a few months as we approach completion of Del's album or what have you. We're definately toying with the idea tho.

Will the single be realesed only on 12" or will it be on cd single too? Don't have tables and i want the b side...

Unfortunately, the distributors have been hellof hesitant with the single, and not ordering in large quantities. Last I heard, Domino pulled the plug on the CD single, although tapes were going to be manufactured mainly for promotional pieces. However, I wouldn't rule the sale of the tapes out at all. But as of now, vinyl looks like it's it.
