Microstoria is actually Markus Popp of Oval and Jan St. Werner of MoM, not Andi Toma.

Microstoria have three records out: Init Ding (1995) Mille Plateaux/Thrill Jockey _Snd (1996) Mille Plateaux/Thrill Jockey Reprovisers (1997) Mille Plateaux/Thrill Jockey The most recent is remixes of "_Snd" by everyone from Ui to Oval to Violent Onsen Geisha.

Should be ... 2LP on both Thrill Jockey and Mille Plateaux. Definitely easy to find in the US on TJ. Don't know about the availability of the Mille version though ... "M. NICELY" <mnicely@NMSU.Edu> then wrote:

The original CD version of "94 Diskont" on Mille should still be around, but it's vinyl couterpart, which included a second LP of "Do While" remixes, has become very hard to come by, and may (?) be o/p. Luckily, when Thrill Jockey reissued "94 Diskont", they made the vinyl a 2LP set with the remixes. Also, as a bonus, the TJ CD version comes with two extra, previously unreleased tracks ("Commerce Server" & "Shop In Store"). Both have slightly different artwork than the Mille versions.

AFAIK, from what I've read (an interview or two w/ Popp - hard to get anything understandable out of the man), Oval do use/have used other artists CDs in their work, but since they screw with the discs so much, it's extremely hard to tell in the end.

I'm positive I've heard someone else say the same thing, but as I don't listen to Aphex Twin, I wouldn't know. -Patrick np: Terry Riley - "In C" nnp: Final - "The First Millionth Of A Second"
