Yeah. So I'm listening to the new Bo Square record on Tino Corp. right now. Pretty damned good. Very MBM-ish... like a lot of the tracks on _Actual Sounds And Voices_, but with more little weird bits and sounds. I know Mike Powell is behind the samples and tweaks and bloops and space sounds, so it's gotta be good. I remember him walking around before and after the Meat Beat Manifesto shows here in Florida last time around with this little hand-held tape recorder playing us these weird Brian Wilson interviews and stuff. I figured he would somehow incorporate sampled-bits of dialogue into his music, and i was right. I like it. I love the theremin work on "Outer Space Suite", although honestly I could do without the sax. Too jazzy at some ponts... but i hate jazz, so ignore me please. The sped-up d&b mixed with the sax really reminds me of T-Power. Again though, the theremin is the stand-out. I think I like the song "Numbers" better. Very nice low-end bassline throughout. Overall a very good record. I would certainly like to hear a full-length from Mike in the future. The record is called _Outer Space Suite_ and is by Bo Square. Bo Square is: Mike Powell (of live MBM), Jack Dangers (of MBM), and Marshall Allen (of Sun Ra Arkestra).
