Maybe Warp just offered him a better deal. Sheesh. C. -- cspot@hyperreal.com (Chris.Hilker)

But he must be one of the few big names around that hasn't had a Warp release before. Anyone know more about a Clear white label I saw the other day, which had Jake's Megaphonk on it, along with 3 other tracks, including remixes? Was it released?

Off the top of my head: Orbital, FSoL, Atom Heart, Luke Vibert - and just about anyone from Detroit besides Kenny Larkin and Drexciya. C. -- cspot@hyperreal.com (Chris.Hilker)

...and Richie Hawtin who may be Canadian, but has definitely got some Detroit blood running in his veins. He released the excellent 'Fuse' album on Warp back in 1993. And what an album that was. Wish he'd do more fuse style material, as when it comes to quality, Plastik Man just don't cut it.

FSOL? *snigger* Warp has had a (wicked) Vibert mix in the past of course and for that matter an (also awesome) mu-ziq one. R&S have bought up detroit's past. But don't forget K Hand. g3.

Picked up 'Das is ein groovy beat ja' last saturday. I've listened to it a few times at this stage, and I must say that so far I am really impressed. A friend of mine tells me that Speedy J - Ginger is part of the AI series. Is this true? Can anyone send me a complete list of AI releases? - Hary J Walsh "'Feed your head!', the Doormouse said." - Lewis Carrolln

This is HEEYUGE in the high schools in Iowa City. Go figure. It is a sweet record in it's own way. This, along with "Expert Knob Twiddlers" and the Mike Flowers Pop remix record makes me think that the Next Big thing is going to be "Mike Curb Television Theme Songs: The remixes."

Ummm I can think of B12 Electrosoma Polygon Window Surfing on Sine Waves Black Dog Bytes Fuse Dimension Intrusion I think there's one or 2 more, but as far as I know 'Ginger' was a plus8 release.

And of course the AI I and AI II compilations, both of which are fine in their own way. Andrew.

I'm not to sure about "Das ist.." but I can definately vouch for Makes a Racket. It's in my top 10 IDM albums (no joke!). It's basically the funkier side of u-ziq..very good! khannan suntharam kxs28972@bayou.uh.edu

_Makesaracket_ is quite a bit of fun with several really outstanding tracks and some filler. It's much ligher and more playful than Bluff Limbo, with a touch of electro/Herbie Hancock funk. It's worth a try if you really like his other stuff. DIEGBJ, on the other hand, seems comically uninspired. The sound is very thin and tinny, even for Mike, and he falls far over the boundaries of good taste with his limpid wonderbread pseudo-funk. I know a lot of people like this record, but I think it's easily his worst yet.

>"Makes a Racket~ ?

I think that this is one of my favorite CDs from the last three years. Definately among my ten faves. Same laid back but active direction as other Paradinas but much more funk directed with quirky, kitschy sound splotches and a Headhunter period Hancock influence. Like a 70s time capsule of jazz/funk opened and remixed by a zen monk in the year 2001 that is overheard by a corporate big-wig and apropriately used for television commercials advertising land-speeders with re-issued '71 Alpha Romeo body styles.

a plea for help from the kind souls of idm. i happened on a copy of jake slazenger- 'makesaracket' in a used shop, unfortunately, it's missing the front booklet. is there some kind soul out there who would be willing to do a scan of the front cover for me? my 2cents is that it's a nice chill little thing from the days before everything got drill and bassed. (not that that's bad, it's just a bit...tiring now.) thanks all, rob!

I don't believe that there is a booklet. The front case just has the title of the album written directly onto it in white. I suppose this clear cover has something to do with it being on 'Clear records' - i.e. a clever marketing thing completely wasted on you :) Nick

Yes, Makesaracket has a cover, at least my lp does. Check out this site to see it: <http://www.formstudio.com/thesesubjects/music/clear/lp.html>http://www.for mstudio.com/thesesubjects/music/clear/lp.html it's green and a close up on some knobs, and the 'gang' style writing of Slazenger. Rusty

Makesaracket doesn't have a front cover. Kinda lame, but true. Good record though, track 5 (if I remember) is my favorite; kind of a Doogie Howzer downtempo track. Very cheesy and lofty. Great stuff. peace Nate On Wed, 18 Nov 1998 Rgeary2@aol.com wrote:
