If he had shot himself, it would have appeared on the Associated Press Entertainment page by now: http://www.newsday.com/ap/entertai.htm Why would he kill himself when his new CD is due out on Nothing last month? Got two IDM CDs yesterday I was uncharacteristically impressed with: A Guy Called Gerald - Automanik k (1990) Pentatonik - s/t (2 CD, 1994) Former has lots of danceable 808 grooves and beautifully chaotic, dissonant loopy tunes, very reminiscent of 808 State 90 and ex:el. Latter has lush, slightly moody melodies, a variety of rhythmic styles (reminded me of Beaumont Hannant in that department), quite well thought out and consistent, better than any of the Pentatonik compilation tracks I had heard, which were pretty good to begin with.
