On October 30th 2000, Silvertone Records in the UK released a compilation of Stone Roses remixes including mixes by Gerald, 808 State, Utah Saints and Grooverider.

The Gerald track is the "Top Won Remix" of "Fools Gold" - previously only available on a very limited CD single. 

Gerald has remixed Finley's new single, 'Spiritualized' which is out on September 11th 2000 through Epic.

Gerald's mix will appear on CD2 - a mix by both Gerald & Finley.

The new album - 'Essence' - was  released on August 14th.

Gerald says: "aquarius rising will be called essence. some of the track's have been re edited. this l.p will be a personal step forword for me my first all vocal l.p"

Check out the NME website here. NME states: A Guy Called Gerald has also completed work on his new album, titled 'Essence', which will be released in late summer through K7 records. As well as featuring Louise Rhodes, the album will also feature guest vocals from Lady Miss Kier on a track called 'Aquarius Rising'. Gerald spoke exclusively to nme.com about his new album. He said: "The exercise is to show diversity in vocal-orientated dance music. This record was recorded over five years on both sides of the pond and it doesn't sound like anything I've heard before. It is up to you to call it what you want!"

A 7-track promo CD-R single for 'Humanity' is currently doing the rounds - if you can find a copy, well worth having! 

The July 2000 issue of the German music magazine 'MusikExpress Sounds' comes free with a CD of !K7 artists including Gerald, Funksurung, Smith & Mighty, Tosca, Terranova, Peace Orchestra and Beth Hirsch.

There are two Gerald tracks on the CD: Humanity (Album Version) Humanity (Funksuung Mix)

The 'Funksurung Mix' of 'Humanity' has thus far eluded a CD release (apart from the promo 7-track CD single), so this item is well worth picking up.

Many thanks to Jochen for the above information (and also to Ecki in Germany for sending me the mag - see you in Portugal!).

Limited copies of the March 2000 issue of 'Dazed & Confused' (issue 63) comes free with a !K7 compilation CD featuring a preview track from Gerald's forthcoming 'Essence' album, entitled 'Untitled'. Not sure if this is the actual title of the track that appears on 'Essence', but we'll have to wait and see!

Please Note: The CD is unavailable outside the UK and is of limited quantities - i.e. not *all* copies of the magazine come with the CD!  

The track is a drum'n'bass affair featuring some female vocals over the top. Unsure who the singer is, though it may well be Louise from Lamb, Wendy Page, or Lady Kier...

The CD mentions that the 'Essence' catalogue number will be '!K7088'.

Other artists on the CD include other Stud!o !K7 artists such as Smith & Mighty, Terranova (featuring Cath Coffey), Ian Simmonds and Funkstorung.

Gerald says in the magazine: "I wanted to be with a label that was more DJ-based," says Gerald from his new home in New York. "A lot of labels are more formal, you feel that if you do something a bit off the wall then you're doing something wrong. K7 is how I always envisioned an independent label to be - pushing the music out there without getting too corporate."

Gerald's Personal Web Page is now up and running. No links as of today (February 2000), but keep on checking for updates. Superb graphics - wonder if they're the graphics for the new EP/album?? This seems to still no links....
