| May
and June 2002: How do they look?
As some of you may have noticed,
a lot of albums got pushed back since the last time I've talked to you--mostly
the ones that are currently untitled. So what I'll do is list some of the
bigger releases of May and June 2002 (in no specific order, other than
date), then at the bottom I will list the currently untitled albums that
are scheduled for release in these two months. Again, these are the current
dates as of April 23rd, 2002. They are subject to change.

Sparrow Records
Originally scheduled for
February 26th, but now pushed back to June 4th, Audio Lessonover? is Delirious??
latest release. While it is unknown why it got pushed back, considering

this album is pleasing to the ears. Any Delirious? fan must pick this one
up, no questions asked.
