Finally picked up "Generation Star Wars" and I'm definitely not disappointed. This stuff is right in the pocket for an Aphex Twin & Muziq fan. A couple of quick observations: 1. Mille Plateaux is eventually get into big, big trouble on the copyright infringement. If George Lucas ever sees the packaging for this (R2D2,3CPO, and a space ship from Star Wars) he'll go ballistic. Then there's the "Electronic Desert" CD by Global Electronic Network samples 10 minutes (!) of the Fresh Air interview show out of Philadelphia ... I'm not going to tattle. At the very least, it's a cinch this stuff won't come out domestic, at least in it's present form. 2. Taking a page from Mu-Ziq's book, he lies on his gear list. TR-808, AKAI S-1100, SH-101 and a Boss delay pedal. Not! There's a fairly obvious 303 line on one cut, and the distorto beats sound suspiciously like they've been processed by an MS20. Why don't they just come clean? -- "I AM PROBABLY THE LAMEST CHARACTER EVER KNOWN TO MANKIND, THE HUMAN RACE, OR THE WORLD IN GENERAL. EVEN IF YOU SHIPPED ME OFF TO JUPITER, I'D KILL OFF ALL THE ALIENS BECAUSE THEY'D DIE OF EXPOSURE TO LAMENESS." - Scott Koladich, in a fit of abnegation. kent.williams@cadsi.com [Kent Williams/CADSI/2651 Crosspark Rd/Coralville IA 52241/(319)626-6700]
