Hi all just got back from England today. A fucking trainspotters dream. Sorry to anyone that was looking forward to it but the Squarepusher interview fell apart. Not my fault though! I did my best! I however manage to have a little talk with Tom J. and meet Grant and Chris 'cylob' Jeffs at the Autechre/Cylob show in London this Friday. Nice boys all around. And I did see Greg there in his Warp shit, with a confused looking girl in tow! Girlfriends just don't understand! Anyhow, Tom J. told me (as Greg reported earlier) that he contributed bass to the third song of Cylobs absolutely fucking mind blowing set. Cylob has some absolutely brilliant new material, along the lines of Jake Slaz. but much better. I hope the song with Tom J. is out soon, and I'm sure its just the first of some of that good-old fasioned Rephlex inbreeding that we all know and love (Tom J. vs. AFX? Mike P.? Luke Vibert?). Anyway, made some brilliant purchases... about 40 viynl and 30 CD. The most brilliant finds had to be mint copies of Joy Rex 9, AB vol. 3 on viynl, and Curve Falling Free AFX remix all for L20 total! Joy Rex 9 was had for L4! I carried the records home for the day like I was protecting the crown jewels. Also got a AB vol. 2 on viynl for about $10. Too much stuff to mention, but I did pick up a release copy of Cylobian Sunset on CD, which after the Squarepusher LP is the best release of the year. Absolutely brilliant. Between this and the new material he played live I'd say expect great things from Chris - who by the way, looked like the worlds ultimate trainspotter at the show: old faded Aphex shirt, green Rephlex record bag, unshaven, and a big smile, which I'm sure comes from owning more RDJ releases than any of us, lukcy bastard. As for the web page I have a bunch of new stuff to put up. This week however I'm going to be changing internet providers so the web page will have a new home and I'll have a new e-mail address. I'll keep everyone posted. Oh, and can someone please e-mail me a transcript or fax me a copy or mail me a xerox of the Squarepusher profile from last months I-D for the web page? I kept putting buying it off until it was off the stands. Whoops. Peace out all, and god bless America... /""'' /"'RESH Live and Direct from the G-Spot Orange County, California, USA
