Can someone fill me in on what the latest couple of releases on Rather Interesting are? Preferably with a brief description of each? I know after Schnittstelle there was the Naturalist, and at least one other... I also know there will be a discog on the web somewhere, but I'm without access to it at the moment, sorry.

:-) Maybe you shouldn't be posting to mailing lists from your work address... Yes, indeed, I was rather foolish. I only found out about that .sig from seeing it on the list. :-) Now I am back at my thrilling web account. ;-) Anyway, can someone answer my question now? :-) Michael Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com

After _Naturalist_, there is _Dropshadow Disease_ and _Real Intelligence III_. _DOS Music_ should be out shortly, I believe... from http://www.datacide.org/ri049.html : Atom Heart has put together a (conceptual?) CD based on computing and everything digital. With songtitles like Ping Pong (True Type,) KPT v. 1.0, Cut 'N' Paste, and Dingbats, the music is heavily sampled, sharply digital at times, quite lighthearted, laden with intentional distortion/lo-fi, and lite drill-n-bass-ish. Lighthearted like MOM, and lo-fi drill n bassish like Andrew Lagowski meets Yello and Mike Paradinas. Fotienda is a sort of digital samba that starts out nice but drags on a bit later. KPT v. 1.0 is a lush ambient number with an a touch of the Orb sound. KPT v 1.1 is the most straight ahead d-n-b of the CD with a great distorto lo-fi digital sound. Cut N Paste is just that (d'oh!) The CD ends with the "bonus track" consisting of a computer voice singing the words "Daisy, Daisy, Give Me Your Answer Do...I'm half-crazy..." [As a kid way back when (hey Jeff K!) I had a 45 RPM 7" made using one of the first computers that filled up a room and had the advanced capabilities of digital speech and singing this same song.] Pete Namlook, A. Lagowski, and Lisa Carbon (Atom Heart?) are all credited with minor contributions. I can't say much about Naturalist other than I haven't listened to it in a while. Maybe that's saying enough...who knows. :) -w. -- Warren Lapham wlapham@sigma6.com sigma6 Interactive Media conceive : construct : connect tm Crashed, but still playable.
