Swim, the label established by Colin Newman (of the currently reformed Wire) and Malka Spigel back in 1993, releases this low-price sampler CD of recent and forthcoming delights in May 2000.  
 
A chance to dip into Swim's warm and fertile waters, Swim Team #1 melts the boundaries of atmospheric, mood-shifting electronica and guitar-based rock. A diving board to launch label debutantes Symptoms, S. Gears and child prodigy Bumpy (he's 11!) - all of whom have debut LPs slated for release soon - the compilation contains highlights from the recent past and splashy new tunes from respected outfits like Ronnie & Clyde and Silo. Swim Team #1 retails for around the price of a 12" single.  
 
Both Colin and Malka contribute previously unreleased songs individually and together under the guise of Immersion, while the ultra-rare Newman/ Corrado Izzo track 'The Narrativ' makes its way back from 500 copies only and-sold-out-in-a-day obscurity on the German i220 label.  
 
Come on in, the water's fine!
