Hullo All, I haven't seen anyone mention the Art Of Perception concept series anywhere so here I go. The series is about conceptualising different races from the Games Workshop RPG ``Warhammer 40,000''. There are three releases out already, all limited edition. The series goes on to twelve releases, then a compilation 2CD with all the tracks from the vinyl and some extra stuff and a box for the vinyl versions are released. Here are the first three releases I've gotten my hands on: AOP-01 Johannes Heil/Kim Gascone - ``Dark Eldar'' AOP-02 The Modernist/Bochum Welt - ``Eldar'' AOP-03 Jay Denham/Silicon Scally - ``Orks'' AOP-04 should be out around now, Rude Solo/Christian Morgenstern's ``Dark Eldar''. Rude Solo are Weatherall/Tenniswood of Two Lone Swordsmen. The info sheet accompanying the first of the series has a partial list of future releases (AOP-04 was originally by Heiko Laux/Michael Mayer). The artist list seems impressive, with Bandulu/DISX3 on AOP-05, Mike Ink/Christian Morgenstern on AOP-06 and Anthony Rother/Kit Builders on AOP-07. Of course no-one knows how much the list will mutate since AOP-04 already differs from the original plan, but Jimi Tenor is mentioned as one (possible) collaborator as well. I haven't given the records a proper listen yet since I was waiting for the first two releases before listening to the third (I'm sort of funny that way if I know I'm going to get the first ones soon even if the order of a concept series doesn't matter at all). Judging from the artist roster, these records are going to be rather nice. Check AOP out at http://www.art-of-perception.com/ (Flash-only site). The series seems to be quite a cross-cut of the whole techno genre set, so there should be something for everyone.

I got the The Modernist/Bochum Welt one a while ago and was not to happy with it. One of the Modernist's tracks was pretty much identical to a track on another one of his releases (sorry, can't remember the track name)... So, how is that a conceptualization of a Warhammer 40,000 race? I dunno. Just sounded like he was thinking "fuck, I got to come up with another track here... and I am pressed for time... and... Oh, hey, I have this old track here... I can change it around a bit and... Yes!" -Hess On Thu, 7 Jun 2001, [ISO-8859-1] Nuutti-Iivari Meril?inen wrote: NM> NM> Hullo All, NM> NM> I haven't seen anyone mention the Art Of Perception concept series NM>anywhere so here I go.
