if yer talking about kid606's nwa 'straight outta compton'/tigerboy remix single, here's my take. much like pete townsend's 'secondhand love' on 'white city', nwa's 's.o.c.' was a real, angry, in-your-face statement about 80s race relations that you have to play loud to obtain full enjoyment. despite the vinyl's design (white on the outside, black on the inside... get it?) i just don't feel the same adrenalin or mental rush listening to this remix. it sounds like a dsp'ed mash of samples, stopping and restarting -- there is no semblance of flow or the appearance of a whole track here; no point or direction, just experimental noodling. imho, it seems like depedro totally sucked the life out of the original. if it is intended a take on imitation and theft of black culture, well, it works. otherwise, perhaps it is better to give your money towards something more original, such as schematic's 'lily of the valley'. back to you, alex Alex Reynolds SAS Computing / Biology University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6228 V +1 215 573.2818 / F +1 215 898.8780 http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~reynolda/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

couldn't have said it better myself .. i heard this live only but imagine it's basically the same. doesn't really do justice to the original at all, i was very disapointed since that would be an interesting remix if a bit more thought had been put into it. is the metroid remix any better than this? haven't listened to it but reports haven't been good. anyway. for something totally different, i've been listening to the new amon tobin, and it is even better than permutations.. i hope he never stops improving. =) news for new yorkers: i heard secret cheifs 3 are playing in nyc in early june; certainly a show to look out for, esp for mr bungle fans. it's even very relevant to this list, for nitpickers; they've have some heavy technoey stuff and an excellent jungle track .. very middle eastern sounding. badass. noah --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
