desert island disc lists! love them, hate them. what would be your own _idm_ desert island disc list? say you're on a boat with lance mcgannon's personal discography & can only rescue 10 as the ship sinks. what are your picks? non-idm records are not allowed! (it may be worthy of note that the island you end up landing on has a cd player, a turntable & a minidisc recorder, as well as a generator & a pair of amps with all the subwoofer action you may ever need. but the only food comes from a tree nearby in the form of a triangular purple fruit with oddly shaped orange dots, which tastes like a cross between a tangerine & a carrot cake.) -- david turgeon at http://www.notype.com

Hey, I'll bite :-) I could live with that ... now, let's see. Glad you're supplying the subwoofers, by the way : essential IDM tools. In no particular order, grabbing wildly as the boat goes down (and you all know the Titanic was officially sunk by That Awful Song) ~ The Black Dog - Bytes Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient works 85-92 LA Synthesis - Matrix Surfer Surreal Sheep - Aural Expansion Global Communication - 76:14 Luke Slater's 7th Plain - the 4-Cornered Room Drome - Dromed Plastikman - Consumed T Power - The Self Evident Truth The Bionaut - Frugivore this is today's list - probably will change within the next 5 minutes. Can we swim out to the wreck to re-stock once a week, PLEASE? I * ~ you can also mail me at <lime909@hotmail.com> "I shift the blame to the worm in the bottle" ~~ Wire

maybe i should provide my own list while we're at it. it is obviously likely to change, but there, in alphabetical order: - autechre, amber or lp5 - lisa carbon & friends, experimental post-techno swing - tomas jirku, bleak - david kristian, cricklewood or beneath the valley of the modulars - jake mandell, parallel processes - matmos, matmos - monolake, interstate (or at least the 'tangent' 12") - snd, newtables 12" or that new album when it comes out - speedranch^janskynoise, welcome to execrate - v/a, altered states of america if you ask me though, i'd probably pack up with a bunch of sun ra & borah bergman cds instead. :) -- david turgeon at http://www.notype.com

Well, then, how intelligent is one to be stuck on a desert island anyway? It's not only anti-social, but unnecessary. One need only construct a radio from coconuts and call for a taxi. Best, 3 on now: DJ Rap - "Learning Curve" [Please see my book, "How to Lose Credibility Anywhere in 3 Easy Steps"]
