> NEW YORK, March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Interscope Records and Ventura
Distribution, Inc. will release two versions of the most steamy,
sexy, uncut and uncensored music videos to ever hit the marketplace.
Loaded with wildly suggestive poses, naughty interactions and unbridled
expressions of the artists cultural and social perspectives, Hardware
Hip Hop Volume 1 and Hardware Rock Volume 1 will treat fans of both
genres to music videos from today's top musical acts in a way they
have never been seen before! Too hot for traditional music television
outlets, it's the never before seen footage normally found on the
cutting room floor that will titillate even the most avid adult
film watcher. Executive Producer Gene Kirkwood (Executive producer
of Rocky) describes Hardware Uncensored as "Music Video Gone Wild."

public with artistry and content that pushes the envelope," says
Syd Birenbaum, Ventura Distribution's Sr. Vice President of Sales
and Marketing, "taking these videos which have had limited underground
circulation and making them available to the mainstream continues
in this tradition. Ventura is pleased to partner with Interscope on this project."

Age ("Feel Good Hit of the Summer"), Monster Magnet ("Heads Explode"),
