Oh, but it's picking up.

Because William uses the same gear for everything he does. Some people just
don't change, and that's just why I love him.

Didn't someone diss it on this list once? That I can't understand.

God! Do you really think he did this? Lazlo, have you heard rumours of
this?

Oh, by the way. I got the promo-12" for this one...

Zenon, you _must_ keep us informed on this one. If it's William, I need it.

Read "The Celestine Prophecy". All the parts fit. You just have to see it.

Someone wrote about the Basic Channel-sounds. I was recently told that
Maurizio uses just one type of gear in the hole studio. Which brand? Be
sure to tune in next week, when I'll reveal (OK then, so it should read
_remember_) it.

I received the Industrial Strength-compilation for review, and naturally
slaughtered it (gabba is _so_ stupid and ridiculous). However, the first
track, Mescalinium's "Mescalinium united" is really good noise. Is it in
fact Richard D. James? And if so, what other records has he made under
this guise? On which labels?

Regarding Underworld's "Pearl's girl", the correct listing for the triple
pack 12" remixes is:
1A Pearl's girl (short version)
1B Oich oich
2A Pearl's girl (Carp Creams)
2B Mosaic
3A Cherry pie
3B Deep arch
Glad to help,
Christian
