(check the Wiki site). "Dizzy" isn't us. It's "My Violent Ego". Nothing is us. "Northsuite" was recorded in 3 hours and sold to a fake label who paid us enough for rent and substances. That's why its so terrible. We're utter bastards. We have no respect for anything. Now we're beginning the campaign to show just what we've done. We are walking examples of what far too many drugs will do. They make you crave havoc. They make you want to turn the world upside down while laughing like a maniac.
And now the soft afterglow sets in. VC is winding down. One last album. One final collection. And the damn thing isn't even recorded yet. Maybe we'll just steal it too. I must tell you that our correspondence will not continue much longer. I'm going to make a clean break - you'll know when the moment hits. You'll know exactly what I mean too.
First, I must convince the world that I am nothing special or intelligent, nor was Velvet Cacoon. If there was discussion about us before, I can only imagine what is about to come.
Feel free to spread this letter."
That being said, they (?) do have some excellent stuff.
I've been into this band for a few years and I used to really like Dextronaut, though I guess that's not really them. From what I can tell, Genevieve and Northsuite are the only "real" Velvet Cacoon albums... whatever that means. Very confusing band.

you say that every time i've mention velvet cacoon, as far as i know dextronaut is their own work, it got reissued recently so i doubt any label would be stupid enough to reissue an album that could get them sued bearing in mind that i think the woman VC ripped off on one of their limited tape releases comes from the same town they do, and from what i read she subsequently found out what they did.
