I believe you are referring to "Rhythms, Resolutions and Clusters," a 33-minute CD EP (I don't know if it was released in any other format), which was apparently limited to 2000 copies or some such number (it did not state that it was a limited edition release anywhere on it). I haven't been able to find one since I bought mine over 6 months ago. At any rate, there are 7 songs on it (all mushed together onto 1 CD track), most of which is remixed stuff from their self-titled CD. I don't have it on me, but remixers included Jim O'Rourke and Steve Albini. Great disc, but *really* hard to track down now. Like I said, I haven't seen one in a while, and I've been looking for copies for other people. Their self-titled CD has been re-released in a green-and-white cardboard package, so it should be easy to find. More "ambient" than "idm," though, quite unstrucured, jazzy, mind-shifting stuff using non-electronic instruments. Their newest one, _Millions_Now_Living_Will_Never_Die_ is better, though, including the 20-minute "Djed," which has an Oval-ish quality to it. There's a limited-eidition vinyl remix EP out there for this, but I don't have it and can't seem to find it (can anyone help me?). -- Adam J Weitzman ----- Individual, Inc. ----- weitzman@individual.com "I love the music of the 20th century!" - Bruce Willis, "12 Monkeys"
