Difficulty finding the Young American Primitive cd?!? Where do you live? Siberia? Here is some info: The double cd package of In Sides is the album plus the last two singles. The singles are Times Fly (which includes two versions of the title track- fast and slow- plus a reworking of Strange but True from the last album- I believe the remix is called Strange But New- and a delightful little song called the Tranquilizer. The second single is The Box which is simply four movements of one song, the last with unfortunate vocals. I hope all of this info is correct. I don't actually own the US version of In Sides because I was stupid enough to shell out $25 to buy the import. I just had to be the first one on my block to own it!!! As for Autechre's Tri Repetae, I could be wrong but I was sure that the titles were on one of the little cards contained within. Again, I have the import so perhaps the US release is incomplete. Even though they have names, I still refer to them as Track 6 or Track 10 or whatever and, yes, track 6 is magnificent. Happy listening! Jedi Knights: you may be having problems finding stuff by them because there isn't much-- a single on Clear records (vinyl only) and the album that you now own. I believe that's all there is by them under this moniker but, if I'm wrong, I'm sure someone else will fill you in.
