anytime anyone mentions analog, Boards of Canada is usually the next three words they get in response... Heh. Just check 'em out if you haven't already cuz they're good. You might also check out some of the material on Morr Music - definitely ISAN, Lali Puna ... Solvent's latest album is on Morr Music, and they have a nice compilation called Putting the Morr Back In Morrissey. That would be to find more of the same sort of stuff it seems you're enjoying right now. If you're feeling a little adventurous and want to try some things that might be a step or two away from what you're currently enjoying (i.e., not the same, but not radically different either), the best thing to do would be to try out a few of the other recent (past couple years) compilations from various popular labels. It's an excellent and cheap way to get acquainted with a ton of artists and labels. I'd recommend: . Neurokinetic [toytronic] www.toytronic.com . Squadron [merck] www.m3rck.net . Aurora [merck] . Integral Components [component] www.componentrecords.com . Warp: Routine [warp] www.warprecords.com . Cottage Industries [neo ouija] www.neoouija.com . Annexe: Cottage Industries 2 [neo ouija] . Cashier Escape Route [city centre offices] www.city-centre-offices.de . The Cosmic Forces of Mu [planet ?] www.planet-mu.com . The Braindance Coincidence [rephlex] www.rephlex.com . MD2 [n5md] www.n5md.com That last one is only if you have a MiniDisc player... And, naturally, there are plenty more to explore. Other than that, some of my favorite artists are Gimmik, Proem, Arovane, Machine Drum/Syndrone, Freeform, Phonem, MD, and, well, many others! :P ===== .Adam http://www.damek.org/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
