Second Jeff on all the recommendations: Gys' 'Art d'Echo' (Component) was a very nice taking up of the BC baton. Likewise a lot of Modell's DEEPchord stuff could stand up to being played next to BC without suffering the comparison. And yep, that Remote 12" has a couple of fine tracks on it in a similar vein. Some of Yagya's stuff on "Rhythm of Snow' (Force Inc) touches on a similar sound palette. Have to say that my absolute favourite of what got waggishly tagged 'Heroin House' was Fluxion's 'Vibrant Forms' on CR. Kostas Soublis went on to start his own label (Vibrant), which seems to have become moribund after only 6 or 7 releases, and, alas, nothing further has been heard from Fluxion HQ. Shame... alan --On 05 December 2005 16:06 -0500 theREALmxyzptlk <theREALmxyzptlk@comcast.net> wrote:
