Some bunch called "Never Records" in New York City have re-issued the Reload
"A Collection Of Short Stories" album. I know this isn't news but the contents
contained therein is: surely this album (originally released in 1993, as far
as I can tell) is just about the greatest slab of IDM ever. I don't think
anything has bowled me over upon first listen (yup, I'd never gotten my slimy
little hands on a copy before now) like this sucker did, except maybe for
"Tango n' Vectif" or "Analogue Bubblebath 3" or the like. Stupendous beyond
all belief; the tracks "Mosh" and the closer "Event Horizon" must surely be
the greatest tracks Richard James never wrote. Mark and Tom are coming to
San Francisco this weekend (to play with Eon and Depth Charge!!!) and I will
surely kiss their feet for this record alone. I can almost forgive them stuff
like "The Way/The Deep" with a record this phenomenal in their canon. (-: 10+
