It's not just you - it does have some serious low end. But not any more so
than the other CDs I have with sub-bass. You just need a really good amp and
speakers. I hadn't noticed that it was the left speaker only, though, because
I'm currently running a mono subwoofer. I can still see the fibrillating in
the left satellite, even if it isn't as efficient as the sub.

I agree. I was really hoping to hear some of Steve Fisk's better IDM. I
heard him play live as the opening act for negativland, here in Seattle, and
he played some very danceable music with a healthy about of bass. One of the
pieces even had an anti-Japan-bashing theme to it - at least that's what I got
out of his juxtaposition of choice spoken word samples. Since then, I've
only found his pure experimental edge stuff on CD, along with the very nice
PIGEONHed release, which, while certainly quite excellent, is still not
techno.
Is anyone aware of any other techno/ambient releases from Steve Fisk? CD or
vinyl...
