i haven't heard the new EE stuff, but imho bill nelson is far too ignored by ambient listeners. In fact, i don't have the discs in front of me to be specific, but i have heard some of his work from the eighties which i could swear have been ripped off by some modern musicians. also, has anyone noticed how much "#19" by Aphex Twin (found on Excursions in Ambience 3 and the UK vinyl version of SAW II) sounds alot like the fourth or fifth track on Eno's "Apollo" disc? unfortunately i don't have the apollo disc here either (i'm on vacation :) but i think if you are familiar with the tracks you'll see what i mean. Funny because of the kinds of things that it seems Eno and RDJ say about each other. Or maybe i'm just hearing things from another plane again...... - Dan transmission 23 - FTZ - edrone - clonor the other - morpheus ii The 8-Bit Collective/8-Bit Records * US/Finland mail: eightbit@vlad.bowker.com - rkn@phoenix.oulu.fi WorldWideWeb: http://ftp.luth.se/pub/misc2/kosmic/www/8bit.html KLF/FreeMusicFoundation: http://ftp.luth.se/pub/misc2/kosmic/www/
