I passed a Luna Music shop this morning and looked in(it was closed)......they are new on the block although they're not new to Indy..... Think I will pay them a visit when I return and observe how those goof-balls act(pretentious is an understatement)..... (I did see that new Bjork advertised everywhere-- but I'd rather purchase the new Afx...and neither will happen)....... BTW, that track by Esem on the Did U C release is smoking too....but thanks to a good trading friend I already heard it!......... -------Eastbound--------- O-jax!!

The new Bjork is brilliant -- the first album she's made in my opinion that really accomplishes what it sets out to do. It's very much on topic for IDM, but beyond the IDM-escque collaborators, it's a collection of really well-crafted, well-arranged, well-performed songs. As a matter of fact I'd say Bjork has realized her own idiosyncratic artistic vision in a way unique to pop music. The fact that it's a major label release that's being gobbled up like candy by the MTV Generation is intensely subversive. I spoke to one of my record store buddies, and he said that not only is "Vespertine" flying out the door, but that sales of Matmos and Herbert records and CDs are way up ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
