Well, I also know he used a Waldorf Microwave on quite a bit of it. I used to live across the hall from his best friend\ex-roomate don't ya' know. ;> An analog synth used on much of it was a Jupiter 8, the very same jupiter 8 that sat in my studio for quite a few months.

I like the soundscape work much more than when that tired old breakbeat comes over the top. To my ears, it kind of has a muzak quality about it at times. This is not a rip, just a feeling I get while listening to it. Rob "The patch in fig. 2-23 gives the sound of a cracking whip.

Don't forget that he's also got a Korg DW-8000 and an Ensoniq SQ-80. Randall Erkelens randalle@netcom.com On Wed, 11 Jan 1995, fEEd wrote:

i can't imagine where you got the idea that i was some sort of self-appointed messiah for the cause of YAP-ness... i mean, he's good, but i wouldn't even give the debut 5 stars... it definitely has its moments tho. Kathleen Vrshek writes:

He's signed to Geffen. Not under a different name - it will still be Young American Primitive.

there's not that much gear on this album! i wonder why people think it sounds so exotic? it's really just one sampler, one analog synth and a korg wavestation. all through a LINE mixer, no less... btw, YAP has done a remix for Deluxe (ex-IDM list guy Jeff Taylor). it's on a 12" single called FUTURA. check it out. -- Name: Jon Email: jsd@cyborganic.com Web: http://cyborganic.com/~jsd

I (and obviously many others on the list) disagree. I voted it the best CD of 1993 and can't think of any full-length releases from 1994 that are better. (Although the 12" extended version of YAP is a far cry better than the cd version).

I'd be skeptical about this. Although I love his original music, all the remixes I've heard so far by YAP suck. (I haven't heard this one though): Zap Mama, Glorified Magnified and Elements of Trance. --- niemitz@cats.ucsc.edu

Regardless, the Commander Mindfuck (Mike Kandel) mix and the B-side Eluxtria rock. Vocoders, deep electro beats. *BASS* On Ultraviolet records. Ask for it.
