Dimple was a good store, before I bought all their Rephlex stuff last year. :) They need a better buyer. What's Frank Heiss 370 Degrees? I passed on it and didn't realize until I was stuck back at my parents' house that he's Tube. In other things, got Neotropic's "15 Level of Magnification" single. Good stuff, not the best thing I've heard. Mom said, "This isn't bad music." She's a bit off the wall sometimes, it wasn't in response to anything, but it sure sounded like it. It was during the hiphoppy mix, Arcon 2? I responded, "Duh." I'm witty like that. Also picked up a GREAT Arcon 2 single - "90/90" backed with "Zorak". "90/90" is a great tune. Listened to it all the way through at 45 after realizing that was the speed I should've heard it at. :) 33 sounded intriguing. Guess I'll have to wait till the records get here to try it at 33 all the way through. Also picked up a Trailmix single on Domestic. Still haven't received any reply as to what happened to the label. If someone knows, I'm really quite curious. I'm kicking myself that I didn't pick up the Arcon 2 album, but I tend to not buy albums on vinyl. My turntable's a bit dodgy. In other things, I think the new Jonny L album is going to get a domestic release. What else did I pick up? _Dog Leg Left_ by Wally and Swingsett. I just got into DJ Wally, this isn't quite as good as his album on his own, but it's competent. It'll probably grow on me. _Expert Knob Twiddlers_ by Mike and Rich is really good, despite being nothing like either Mike or Rich, per se. _Music Has The Right to Children_ really is as good as you guys claim, despite a notable resemblance to old mu-ziq. I'd rant about that, but you guys would hate me more. Picked up the new DJ Soulslinger mix CD, good stuff - these guys obviously enjoy what they do, and I think they do a great job at it. Enough me now. Thanks for listening, those who did. Anyone want to remix a song? :) Andrew my new sigfile starts here http://www.sonictherapy.com - sorry, out of waffle cones "What you need is more microphone noise - more volume"

Stop kicking yourself ... it's not that good (dodging the flames!) - apparently there are more tracks and a different layout of the ambient bits on the CD (all the ambient bits are lumped together in one long track at the end of the vinyl - it's the best track by far !!! )

I've had it for a while and it hasn't grown. Haven't seen many comments about this on the list though - what does The List make of this album? I haven't heard his solo effort (the mutant rat on the cover put me off... see, I'm a grrrl after all). DJ Wally's track which opens the Sub Rosa Underwood 3 sampler is superb though. (Sentimental Stamina - unreleased track). I * np :: 808's remix of Bjork's OOOPS. Wonderfully summery fun.
