That wasn't his best work, but all in all, I still consider what he does 'buy on spot'. Certain artists need to show me a pattern of blowouts before I lose faith and RV has enough material which does it for me to cover a few 'sins'. Particulary in this genre, I tend not to pay nearly as much attention to the CD releases (and full length LPs) as I do the 12"s. It's odd, but the full lengths often have a different flavor to them (e.g., the Robag Wruhme, latest Ark on Perlon, etc.) jeff jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
