Haven't heard this. *sigh* So many records, so little cash....

X-101 is credited to Underground Resistance, I think, and Jeff Mills was a part of UR back then. An oldie but a goodie.

Well, *I* like it because I can stomach blistering hardcore. The track that Jeff Mills remixed is a computerized soundstorm, sounding like futuristic war machinery gone haywire. I mentioned it because the original poster seemed to feel that the Jeff Mills stuff he'd heard wasn't well put together. This track may not be IDM, but it's *extremely* well put together IMHO.

If you didn't like this album, you probably won't like WT Vol 1. I think the album versions of both tracks are on the remixes that you have. *I* love it, but I can see how others might find it boring. To each his own. Speaking of which... Does someone feel like reviewing WT Vol 2? -Sho -- sho@physics.purdue.edu <<-- finger this account to find out what I'm having for lunch! <A HREF="http://physics.purdue.edu/~sho/homepage.html">Sho Kuwamoto</A>.
