as i've asked before (i think)... could anyone help me out with some info about ken ishii? i know his pneuma ep on r&s and his fairly recent utu ep on +8, both of which i think are great (and quite prototypical for the idm genre), and i want to know more! i've heard something about an lp called "white" (that's all i know about it) - what about that? and what else is there? and who is that guy? p.

Ken ishii is at the forefront of a subtle wave of Japanese techno. The hallmark of his work is it`s obvious originality and it`s also very futuristic. The Ken Ishii releases I know of are: "Garden On The Palm" LP on R&S "UTU" EP on Plus 8 "Pneuma" EP on R&S "Deep Sleep" EP on Apollo "Ambient Groove Vol 3" LP on ESP (includes 3 Ken Ishii tracks) "Rising Sun" EP on ESP The "white" album you mention is a white label of Ken Ishii`s second album for R&S which Renaat has been flashing around a bit. Apparently it`s pretty amazing, but _very_ few people have it at the moment. Brendan Nelson Lost Transmission From Cowley

Goood to see that there are a few more ken ishii fans out there. I saw his lp on R&S this summer and figured it was a little too bizarre for me at the time. I grabbed the Pneuma/Deep Sleep double white label package this christams and totally luff it. I wish I had bought that loot I saw this summer now.

Can anybody give me a track listing for the Deep Sleep EP?
