Surgeon is wear I should be looking... > though other recommendations are welcome. I think the Pet 2000 12" is one of my favorites. The Badger Bite track is excellent!! All of Surgeon's albums are really good. The latest one Balance is probably the best because there is alot more variety. I also really like the Surgeon - Muggerscumout 12"(Soma) The Surgeon remix of Dave Clarke - Storm was great! You might try and look for the Surgeon - Balance Remakes 12" because Mick Harris remixes that one. Cheers If you are looking for other hard minimal 12"s, definitely pick up Jeff Mills - Mecca ep (Axis) and Kat Moda (Purposemaker). They are both classic!!! _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

I think the PCM remix of Scorn is the best jungle track I ever heard... period. And I love the PCM 12" too. So I thought it would rock; picked it up right when it came out. But this is just dull. Avoid it.

Yes, in all the bad ways (too repetitive, too uninteresting, too generic).

I would go that far about the PCM remix being the absolute best jungle tune. It was certainly pretty awesome. If there are an IDM people that haven't heard the Scorn remix cd Ellipses, you should definitely look for it! With remixes from Autechre, Coil, Meat Beat Manifesto, PCM, and Bill Laswell.

The Mick Harris remix is downbeat and doesn't really sound like Surgeon. I would have to say it sounds more like Harris. Definitely look for more Surgeon he has put out some great stuff.
