Do you know (or anyone else, for that matter) if Cygnus X or Virutal Symmetry released any other material other than Hypermetrical? I've not even heard of any LPs by Virtual Symmetry; I just know that "See You" is a brilliant track. You were completely correct about Hypermetrical: it is a seminal album of the decade and represents the highest quality out of the entire Eye-Q period. It was funny because I was thinking the same thing about the relationship between trance and the IDM list. I rarely listen to trance because of the same reasons many people list (i.e. repetitive, hoky global music samples, predictable, etc.) However...Eye-Q was the pinnacle of the genre of trance and contained some true electronic talent (listen to the classical piano line of "Synfonica" by Brainchild on the fiveyearsofeye-qmusic comp.)Anyway, that's my two cents and BTW, the Autechre tracks mentioned (444, Nuane, Clipper) are definite piloerection material!

You'd probably enjoy the 96 double CD release "The Very Best from Behind the Eye - Eye Q Classics" - with numerous tracks by Cygnus X, Virtual S and loads more.

That's also on there - they're obviously recycling their best tracks for various compilations ;-) I * ~ you can also mail me at <lime909@hotmail.com>

There's a Virtual Symmetry mini-album out on Eye Q classic with 6 tracks or so under the name "Gerald Becker presents Virtual Symmetry" with the classics (See you & The VS). Bought it in 1996 if I remember well ... Ben http://home.allaban.fr/beni ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
