Apparently, this has been out for a while. A local shop has had the CD for at least a month and a half. ----------

the title track is the only one with vocals (it includes an instrumental mix as well). the other tracks are superb instrumental hiphop, Automator is one of the freshest producers in the business today. clockwise np: Heiroglyphics "Third Eye Blind" <----the bomb

When was/is this released? I asked about Automator projects here a couple months ago but this didn't come up... I'm only aware of Dr. Octagon (Kool Keith) and a couple remixes incl.

presumably in early/mid '96, on ubiquity. i've yet to pick it up. there is also a split single between him and dj wally&swingsett on ubiquity, which has a remix of that track.

didn't come up... >I'm only aware of Dr. Octagon (Kool Keith) and a couple remixes incl. Primal >Scream's "Kowalski". yeah, there's that, the Stereolab remix, the 'blue flowers' (doc oct) remix, a track on the long oop bomb flexidisc, and i'm sure there's plenty others (there was a bit on him a while back in spin, of all places, that had a brief discography.) he's currently working on two projects with Price Paul (who's produced for de la, bdp, and more recently chris rock and the gravediggaz), one's called 'the good the bad and the ugly ugly' and that's with DJ shadow and one of the dust brothers. and another called 'the handsome boy's modeling school' , dunno too much about that one, tho. i'll do some poking about later tonight and see if i can find a discography. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

upon searching the web, i didn't find much else on Automator than i mentioned the other day. there was one interview at the bomb site <http://www.bombhiphop.com/automat.htm>, which mentioned that the good bad and the ugly project will feature guest vocals from De La Soul, RZA, Beck, and Jon Spencer... also talks of a project "with a girl called Storm and we have a song on the new Lois and Clark soundtrack, the groups called The Franchise"?? and there is mention of his first independently released 12" from '88, titled "music to be murdered by" ( good luck, 'spotters ;-) -masta tuln- _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
