In the early days, Moby. This was back in 1993/1994. I don't even recall how the e-mail exchanges between us started.
Porl from Rosetta Stone. Those e-mail exchanges went on for quite a while, at least over a year IIRC.
Paul from Psychosonik - he even phoned me from Minneapolis once. That was a surprise.
Peter Hook from Joy Division/New Order/Revenge/Monaco.
Somebody (can't recall his name) from Contagion (and later then Pinch Point). He sent me the video for Contagion's "Scratch."
Athan from Spahn Ranch and also The Blue Dahlia. Spoke with him many times on the phone and met up with him several times too. Very cool guy.
Mark from Cosmicity. A very nice guy who I still have contact with occasionally. I think he pretty much e-mails everyone who contacts him.
Christian from Signal And Report.
Sebastien from Silence Is Sexy.
I think there may have been others, but that is all I can remember right now.
As someone else said, dealing with record labels/reps is far more common, especially since/when I set up a lot of CD giveaways.
Cheers
DJ Medusa.
