About a week ago I picked up david kristian - national kid/oyster point 12 inch on discreet. Gave it a few lessons. Being no speed suggestion on the record I played it at 45 rpm. The result was wacked out drum and bass with experimental noodelings. It had all the traditional elements of the genre but it also had something special about it. Perhaps it was the odd beat patterns or how the other sounds <synths, bass etc..> interacted with the beats. So this week I see it on modern music's new release list described as <paraphrasing> experimental electronica in an idm vein. That made me curious, because obviously it was jungle. So I dropped it on the turntable and played it at 33 rpm instead. Turns out, that it is great at this speed. It features nice quirky beats and a great use of sounds. Best way to describe it is as the artifical intelligence sound updated for 1998. Killer stuff. So if you see it buy it <domestic if your in the U.S.>. Only 2 songs but since you can play it at 33 or 45 it is like 4 songs.... -daniel

Hey, I'm sure someone has asked this before, but exactly who the hell is Rubber Johnny? I've had the cd for quite sometime now and it's always puzzled me. It has to be someone in the Mike, Luke, Tom, Richard, and Chris circle. Will there every be a Rubber Johnny full length? I also heard about a comp coming out on Mute or Sire (which ever handles Aphex in the states) that will include the Mu-Ziq mix of "On." Can anyone confirm this? ario. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

None of the above.

Mute has nothing to do with Aphex. It's Sire/Elektra/Warner that handles his North American distribution. And if a compilation IS coming out, it's news to me... the u-Ziq remix is widely available elsehwere anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ryan Visima - http://aphex.home.ml.org/ - rvisima@total.net -------------------------------------------------------------
