UNKLE, Oval, Spring Heel Jack, Luke Vibert, thats it. There's a japanese CD with most of the tracks on it (I think it misses a b-side) that I'm currently looking for, anyone...?

quoted 3 lines BTW - is there a Tortoise or Thrill Jockey webpage?

Saw Rome playing in Rough Trade (Covent Garden) the other weekend, thought they were ok, but not really in the same league as Tortoise. They have an eponymous album on Thrill Jockey from last year, which I dig out once in a while, but 'Millions now living...' it isn't. Still worth checking out if you're into this post-rock thang. Plus one of the tracks is recorded by John McEntire & mixed by Designer for extra spotter points... Phil PS I'm being really unfair by judging them against possibly my favourite album from last year. It's actually quite good. [On:Rome:Rome:ThrillJockey] Gakak Gak Gak Gak Gakak Gak Gak Gak Gaaak Gaaak Gaaak Gaaak Gakak Gak Gak Gak

Try Poo-Bah Records in Pasadena, California USA (http://commline.com/poobah/). Amazingly enough, last time I was there they had the Tortoise Japanese CD compilation as well as the Aphex Twin 51/13 Singles compilation. - Greg
