Oh, but it's picking up.

Because William uses the same gear for everything he does. Some people just don't change, and that's just why I love him.

Didn't someone diss it on this list once? That I can't understand.

God! Do you really think he did this? Lazlo, have you heard rumours of this?

Oh, by the way. I got the promo-12" for this one...

Zenon, you _must_ keep us informed on this one. If it's William, I need it.

Read "The Celestine Prophecy". All the parts fit. You just have to see it. --- Someone wrote about the Basic Channel-sounds. I was recently told that Maurizio uses just one type of gear in the hole studio. Which brand? Be sure to tune in next week, when I'll reveal (OK then, so it should read _remember_) it. --- I received the Industrial Strength-compilation for review, and naturally slaughtered it (gabba is _so_ stupid and ridiculous). However, the first track, Mescalinium's "Mescalinium united" is really good noise. Is it in fact Richard D. James? And if so, what other records has he made under this guise? On which labels? --- Regarding Underworld's "Pearl's girl", the correct listing for the triple pack 12" remixes is: 1A Pearl's girl (short version) 1B Oich oich 2A Pearl's girl (Carp Creams) 2B Mosaic 3A Cherry pie 3B Deep arch Glad to help, Christian OnNow: The Stonefunkers' "Individuality" (CDS) ReadingNow: James Redfield's "The Celestine Prophecy"

No no no. He remixed the Mescalinum Utd track "We have arrived" and it ended up on his "classics" comp, but he is NOT M.U. Mescalinum United is a pseudonym of the PCP (Planet Core Productions) crew, aka The Mover, Alien Christ etc. Original dark horrorcore, most of which avoids being too fast. Influential on the hardcore techno and gabber scene, but not going with the flow. Ask Dr Giggles, he knows. J ^
