Hello this is my first post to the list, after a long time lurking.
Regarding this Aphex song name business:
In Select (i think) a few years ago, a sidebar article on the twin quoted
him as saying that all his songs with the "ph" (see above post item #1)
were named so due to the "ph" factor in all his work...that is the acid
factor in them. A young, silly, aphex.
On another note, I never saw much discussion of the now old Elecktroids
lp. What do people think of this. Personally I think it is a little to
blatently retro. Songs intended to sound like Kraftwerk, one song
blatently ripping off Clear, and another track that sounds exactly like a
song I heard on a Future Music cd. While weak in the originality dept.
and in the complexity dept. it is not a bad listen. I can really get
into that Midnight Ride song. Sorry if I am wasting space with old stuff.
I also would like to extend a warm thanks to those that suggested the
jazz albums (Tone Dialing, and Red Hot on Impulse). I picked them up and
they are truly great.
What has Global Communication been up to? I don't know of anything that
new from them, am I wrong? What is the deal with all those releases
listed on the Evolution comp ? Have any of them been released? Are they
going to be?
I heard mentioned that Air Liquide has a few new albums out or coming
out. Are there any reviews or impressions?
How essential and rare are the plugs ? Should I go nuts to find one?
Someone dropped Kid Spatula as being a must, what is the obtainability
factor on this one? (in US)
Are Tri Repete and Anvil Vapre out in the states yet? I have been
burned too many times buying the import only to see the domestic a few
weeks later. Then again, sometimes the release is delayed for months,
like I think Amber was.
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks...
