Looking for other Test Department fans on IDM. Did any of you see them on tour last year? I saw them in Dallas, TX in October. They were INTENSE. I was speechless in awe. I don't think I've ever seen a spectacle like that before. I really dig their new sound. Found sound industrial percussion mixed with house-style techno. Very cool. I could only imagine what these percussion freaks could do with a breakbeat! Dennis O'Hare noise@webtv.net

I love test dept! I've only got 'totality' (which is excellent) but I've heard 'Ecstasy under Duress' and didn't like it much. I missed their last tour, it was at a bar and thus 21+ :( only two years & 4 months to go! Can you recommend any of their other albums? I'd love to have more. --brett On Mon, 20 January 1997, at 12:01:41, Dennis O'Hare wrote:

Anyone tell me what this track is I heard ... only memorable aspect was a sample of some guy saying "Women know when men are being childish" ... it was a pretty minimal affair with some big breaks and fucked-up snippets of sound happening in the backgrnd . ?? .: WD :.
