Hi everyone,
 
I copied this text from the scheer website.
 
I did not know they were off the label, did I miss this discussion before,
or is this breaking news?

>SCHEER UPDATE
>
>               Scheer finished recording its album late summer of 1997 at
Rockfield Studios
>               in Wales. Between Sept and Dec '97 the band took time off
to work on other
>               solo projects since 4AD talked about a 1998 scheduling.
During this time some
>               changes happened with 4AD and Scheer, the main one that
affected both
>               parties was the leaving of 4M) A&R person Colin plus
Scheer's signing to a
>               new management company.
>
>               In Jan.1998 4AD and Scheer management meet to discuss the
future album
>               release. From this meeting it was mutually agreed that 4AD
and Scheer should
>               part company. One of the reasons was that Scheer felt that
4AD wasn't the right
>               label to release their forthcoming record. Since then
contractual to & fro has
>               been on going and will soon be finalised. During this time
the members of
>               Scheer concentrated on their solo projects. Peter set up a
record label, Neal
>               has worked on various production projects and is producing
the debut album of
>               Asterix (a band on Peters label), Audrey, Joe and Paddy are
all involved with
>               other bands and projects. Scheer still get together on a
regular basis to write
>               new material and experiment with samples. Since the band
have their own
>               recording studio they have recorded at least another
albums' worth of new
>               material.
>
>               Scheer are now meeting with new label representatives and
over the coming
>               months will be showcasing the new material to interested
labels. The band
>               expect to be releasing on its new label early next year.
Details will be released
>               to the website when all contracts are signed and sealed.
