I have been going through the IDM archives from '93 and '94 (see some
subsequent posts), and based on them, have a multitude of questions:
Can anyone recommend:
1.A good compilation of Acid tracks. I haven't gotten much into
this kind of "club" music (i.e. plastikman, etc.) and it sounds kinda
interesting.
2.A compilation (or artist) of "epic" tracks. One good example
(IMHO) is "Raincry" from the 2xCD Hardkiss compilation "delusions of
grandeur" (which BTW is fantasic. An essential buy)
- Theres a post here about getting a FFRR sampler CD by writing to
ffrr1@aol.com. Anyone know if this address is still valid, or if not if
theres another address/URL i could go to?
- whatever happened to the techno.stanford.edeu archive. Moved? Gone?
I've seena couple of posts that might suggests that it became hyperreal.
any truth to this?
- Anyone know if "the negro inside me" by barry adamson is availaable on
CD anywhere (per recommendation by J Drukan sometime in early 1994)

Subject: More Underworld
I did an interview with Underworld the other day and they told me
some interesting things.
[...]
* Underworld and Orbital are currently recording songs together, possibly
a whole album. Deadline by the end of this month.
Did anything happen with this? did i miss a release?
- Some artists/albums that i see thrown around the list but never really
knew much about...comments/reviews would be appreciated:
Seefeel
Slowdive
the Trance Atlantic/Trance Europe Express albums (namely, are they
worth the $$$ and if so, which should i get)
Locust (Is "Prospero" from Excursions in Ambience a good idea of
what they do?)
Oval
Curve
Renegade Soundwave
LFO
- Is underworlds "Rez" really all that and a bag o Doritos?
- Anyone know anything about Jai Uttal? His name keeps coming up in my
CDNow searches.
- How is Higher Intelligence Agency - "Colourform" I see a review here in
the archives saying its great. Any comments?
- "Mercy, Mercy" by Little Wing on the aforementioned Hardkiss album is
beautiful trancey folkey stuff with an acoustic guitar samplme which is
strangely unobtrusive although its close to the front of the mix. Anyone
have any other songs like this?
- Anyone know anything about the Higher Intelligence Agency/Biosphere
collaboration "Polar Sequences"? Supposedly it uses samples of ice
crackling and stuff around the arctic circle. Sounds
kinda..erm..well...cool :)
- anyone have contact info for "Option" Magazine? URL perhaps?
- is anything by the grid up to the bombness of "evolver"?
- "papua new guinea"...essential purchase?
- Anyone know the name of the font used on Sabres of paradise "Haunted
dancehall"
I guess thats it for now. Please respond to as many as possible...to the
list if you feel its appropritae, but for most things i guess private
e-mail should be better.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

P.S. I dont really think many people express what this list means to
them. Ever since i got into IDM (starting with "Accidents in Paradise",
"Strange Cargo III" and "tales from ephidrina" and moving on from there),
the IDM list has been a constant source of amazement, amusement, and
information for me. Without the list, i wouldn't have discovered half of
the wonderful albums i own today. I would just like to personally thank
each and every one of the many people that contribute daily to this list
and make it my most eagerly anticipated e-mail daily. I love you guys!
