Under the SubCon 'services' page hides two pages listing the competition results of the 2001 and 2002 Cannabis Cup competitions. [* [http://www.subconsciousstudios.com/htms/services.htm Cannabis Cup] results from 2001 and 2002 (place your cursor over the elevator numbers).] The Cannibis Cup was an annual competition that only survived an additional year after its inception in 2001. Since the name contains SubCon, it is assumed that the competition was formed by Subconscious Communications.
Releases
As of
2003 , Subconscious Communications has released 37 albums under the label. The numbering of the albums however lists the final one (the dragon experience) as number 28; this is due to several albums being numbered in pairs, such as 11a and 11b. Logically this is due to the insignificance of the album (for example the limited edition albums of Skinny Puppy's "back and forth" and Tear Garden's "eye spy with my little eye") or a combination of releases, such as with PlatEAU's "music for grass" and "dutch flowers". * [http://www.subconsciousstudios.com/htms/releases.htm SubCon's] listing of released albums, chronologically ordered.]"Organized alphabetically by author then chronologically (represented by sub value)."
