Hail those who see all and buy all. Looking for some commentary on the above compilation. Anyone...? jeff -- jeff "10,000 people all screaming the same thing at the same time are wrong, even if they're right." dancing/about/architecture "...with wandering steps and slow..."

I love it! The perfect antidote to the gobs of Chain Reaction-like stuff I've been consuming lately. Lotsa bang and clank and crunch. Heavy beats. Noise bursts. Heavy DSP wankery (and I mean that in a *good* way). And it holds together pretty well as an album, not just random compilation. But if you want melodic eye-dee-emm, look elsewhere... -Ed --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

i seriously do think the brothomStates is the most melodic, most lush and best-sounding track on the compilation. hands down.

Well, yeah, the Lackluster and brothomStates tracks lower the temperature a bit, and have some nice, Autechreian melodic content. And the Cex track is darkly melodic 'twixt the noise bursts and beats. But if you're desirous of melody, this probably isn't the compilation for you. -Ed --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

But if you're desirous of roomfulls of machines expelling their mechanical grit (as is the purpose) then this is probably the compilation for you =). clangity clang hope someone is enjoying it or the machines will just rust away! -christopher ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
