This is the track-listing for the CAT-051 12" I have as well - the Pacman game aside (obviously). Bonus 12" has no track-listing.

CD-ROM data has to be on track one. I think.

This very much like the first one off of _Module 2_ but less AFX-esq and more coherent.

And this is exactly the same as _Blue Calx_. I love it to death.

Yupyupyup.

Hmm. This must be the live version of _Asteroids_? I like this cos its really stark with none of the nuances of the original. And its completely brilliant. Is the Pulusha out yet? You IDMers need this if you want some of the old school Global Comms. sound. Gorgeous. They had some promos with artwork (not the whites) in some exchange shop in Camden (anyone else go to the Metroplex 12 party?) so I'm assuming its out or imminent. || [CiM] || simonw@sol.ftp.com || http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Alley/4492/

yeah all your track numbers below are staggered by 1. desktop robotics = #2, leaf's = #3, etc.

yes - the only proper ambient track on the set, submarine aquatic bliss along the lines of blue calx and the voder: terpsitone.

yes - it's tweaked up to 160BPM, and clocks in at just over 2 minutes. a little stripped back, but still sugar sweet in its brushed chrome pop sensibility. i hate to say it, but my favorite 2 tracks on this one are the two on the D side of the bonus cozzi jetset labeled testpressing with the vinyl ("bonus 12" token with extra lives." these are wakka-wakka lives, not extra live cuts.) (i haven't played the game yet, cuz i don't have a mac anymore, but gian says that D2 is the music used in the game soundtrack) they both utilize the patented BW formula of opening with sparse hyper-syncoppated elekro-beats that just SLAM, and then generously slathering beautiful mailand synth-pop over the top. this is the layout that almost caused me to drive off the road the first time i heard "le silence du temps" off the yellow kromode (courtesy of teep's sewer sounds mixtape), in the 1997 model, you'll taste essences of old human league and heaven 17 and you will begin popping instinctively. retro-techno-elektro-love. peeeeeeeeeeece, Jeff Davis <pHlow> ____--~~~~~~vvvv~~~~ oooo812.831.7846 jjdavis@xnet.com____---- ( ( ( vvvv ~~~~~~ooooooooooooo ___----( ( \ \ \ \ \ vvv ooooooooooooooooooo ____---- ( \ \ \ \ \ \ \ http://www.xnet.com/~jjdavis/
