My first look at this cd...(as in I have only read the tracks and artists)....made me put it back on the shelf. Definately not idm. :) Maybe some less inspiring dance stuff.

The best $8.99 I have ever spent in my life. No joke. :) jay ______________________________________________________________________________ Jason W.

"Platinum on Black" is definitely not IDM in the normal sense! It's a continuous mix of housed-up mostly mainstream dance music. In spite of this, I like it. "TB Resuscitation" is by Hardfloor, not the other way round. I'm a huge Hardfloor fan so of course I'd recommend it. Hardfloor do hardcore techno for house music lovers; the sounds are fairly warped acid, quite dry, but the beats are only moderately fast, very percussive in an intelligent but highly intense way (I personally prefer this style to the intelligent but non-intense style of most Warp-type stuff) and have quite a strong housey feel. Orbital's "Diversions" is great, of course. It's probably my favorite Orbital disc (gasp!) Excursions in Ambience is on Caroline, not Moonshine, and is quite good.

Right-o! I figured this becuz it has Utah Saints on it.

Again, right. I got the name/title mixed up. :) A couple of people have recommended this, so I think I'm gonna sink the ol' credit card a bit further into the whole and pick it up tonight. It sounds interesting..

Of Course! :)

Again I type corrected. My memory lapsed... I think I'm gonna pick this up, also. Furthermore, does anybody know anything about a group called "Midi Rain"? Are they as cheezy as the name implies? I only ask because I keep seeing cd's everywhere locally, especially in the used record stores. Thanks much! Jim . . . . <skoop+@pitt.edu>::DaTaMaTiON/project.flux.95 ->'the.beat.is.the.drug'<-
