Get in touch with Nick Williams. Last time I checked, he was still giving out the video he compiled, which contains about 4 hours of clips, including a lot of the stuff that was on Natch.net. _________________ -Jeremy

Just found www.musicplasma.com. Not a real music resource, just a colorful way to link artists and see influences and mentors.
