Actually there are five Red Planet 12"s (they`re my favourite label so I have to be pedantic): RP1 "Meet the Red Planet" by Red Planet Meet the Red Planet Lost Transmission From Earth The Intruder RP2 "Cosmic Movement" by Red Planet Cosmic Movement Star Dancer RP3 "Sex in Zero Gravity" by Eddie Flashin` Fowlkes Can`t remember track names! RP4 "Visual Contact" by The Martian Visual Contact Red Atmospheres Journey to the Martian Polar Caps Search Your Feelings (produced by Model 500 and the Martian) RP5 Double EP: "The Long Winter Of Mars" by Red Planet Wardance (Renegades on the Red Planet) Seasons of the Solar Wind Base Station 303 Skypainter Spontaneous LifeForm Red Planet 5 is just out. My favourite tracks are "Cosmic Movement", "Red Atmospheres" and "Search your Feelings", and I`d say RP4 is the best, it`s certainly the most jazzy. Galaxy 2 Galaxy is the shit. I only got it on Saturday and _all_ the tracks are classics. Buy it, now. Jazzy-techno is the way to go. I`d like it if anyone had any suggestions about what I should look for along those lines.

Blasphemy! I`m not going to buy another rock record until I`m at least 40. The techno scene is constantly changing, you just have to know where to look. As I`ve said before, you can`t just rely on APhex, Orb and FSOL to be at the forefront. Most of the stuff I`ve mentioned above is where it`s really at nowadays. What do you think?

You didn't quote me correctly. I said that maybe the 'intelligent techno' *wave* had reached its peak. It's not really new and fresh anymore. Of course that won't stop young techno gods from making great 'intelligent' records. But the attitude isn't new.

Sure, I've heard the jazzy techno, and even though it's good, I keep thinking 808 State and Guru Josh when I hear it. I want something completely different. The reasons why I've been buying "rock" records (hmm) recently are: 1) they are completely different from idm, 2) I've never bought any "rock" records before so I think it's interesting to explore the genre. That's my diary entry for today. - chris@minsk.docs.uu.se
