there is a new Single Cell Orchestra CD out on Asphodel Records (Naut Humon of Sound Traffic Control's label). Single Cell Orchestra (Asphodel 0962) 07:08 A Better Place 05:43 Start 05:08 Letters From Nowhere 08:15 Knockout Drops (200 Proof Mix) 05:19 Divinity 05:30 Kudowbuz 07:01 The Slenderest Of Threads 09:44 Transmit Liberation 10:16 Flight 2127 04:21 Freefall Very melodic pretty stuff. Quite accessible and relaxing, although there are the typical SCO electrobeats all over the place. Heavily processed female vox on some tracks remind me of William Orbit's style. Get it. -- Name: Jon Email: jsd@cyborganic.com Web: http://www.cyborganic.com/bass-kittens/

> So, recommended albums?

There's a few albums out. Dead Vent 7, the recent eponymous album, and one with Freaky Chakra (I'm wary of any release with that word on it). I've only heard Dead Vent 7 on Reflective (the US label) but that in itself is enough to make me want to go out and buy some more. Dead Vent 7: Single Cell Orchestra: Reflective Where to start? It's a sort of radio play on a CD, but it's mostly music, and all the vocals are very far away (yeah, ok, quiet), and in many cases, heavily reverbed, either way they don't really interfere with what has become one of may favourite last-thing-at-night albums. Oh yeah, it's mostly at the ambient end of the spectrum, but the tempo (and volume) does up a bit on some tracks (going through hyperspace when you're stoned is cool). Oh, and the cover's quite nice too, being on reflective. Thinking about it, all the releases I've seen (and subsequently bought) on Reflective have been very good. Spacetime Continuum's Emit Ecaps, Subtropic's Homebrew, SCO... Phil the horror, the horror...
