i'd like to interject another opinion. it's best album released this year so far! well, along with the ones by Florence and Carl Craig.. :) mr Cooper thanx for the tip. _________ si-{cut}.db - Behind you - CD - Surburbs of Hell - SOH SP 025 If the Artificial Intelligence series of Warp needed a follow-up this could be the one. Somewhere between The Black Dog towards T Power, Douglas Benford makes very atmospheric beautiful music, whereas Scanner does the production. Complex but fresh beats combined with deep beautiful strings, synths and fine basses. Nine tracks, and also two done in a remix by Robin Rimbaud, together very fast forward into the surrealistic future. Surely one of the beauties for '97 and beyond! Delicious.

Actually we will be playing some new stuff by Si{Cut}.db this week on Swope Transmissions. Tune in on sunday morning from 10am-12pm (PST). I would also like to add that we will be having djs Dylan & Facs [Droppin Science] on later that night from 10pm-midnight. My partner for the show also does the Douglas Benford website.
