not to start a fight now, but.... i personally do like seeing reviews of older albums. i think it's a good way to gauge how others are reacting to albums that you already own. i especially don't have a problem with older reviews when they are well written and thought out; as the review in question was. thanks for the review, and don't keep them to yourself...

Just for the record, I don't own Lunatic Harness, I have never read a review of it and furthermore, I appreciated the review of it very much and am IDM-owner, not IDM-impaired. If someone wants to review an old Herbie Hancock record (don't tempt me!) for IDM, that's brilliant, appreciated, and very IDM worthy. If anyone needs to take issue with the content of this mailing list, please use this address -> idm-owner@hyperreal.org Thanks! Teep np: moment of truth - gang starr

the obvious choice would be "future shock" (or "headhunters") but i'm gonna forgo that and pick one of my personal faves: "secrets". first, the back cover photo - herbie with shirt off, massive 'fro, pointy beard, walking on a beach. ooooh, damn, i want a picture of me like that on one of my records some day. second, notable guest musician: ray parker jr, guy famous for bringing the "ghostbusters" theme to us. third, recorded in San Francisco, home of cool. the music: "Doin It" starts off with the funkiest grindy wah guitar lick you ever heard, replete with vocodered "DOIN IT" punctuation. eventually turns into full on boogie funk workout. all it needs to be a big beat hit is an unvarying drum loop sloppily pasted on, and a big 909 snare roll buildup. add lawsuit, stir to taste. "People Music" is a mellow arp dominated piece that sounds like background music to an episode of Barney Miller. today, you can hear people like muziq doing lo-fi casiotone remakes of stuff like this. "Spider" has this awesome synced oscillator buzz thing and some cool chase movie soundtrack pace. "Sansho Shima" is seriously mental jazz funk, way out of control. Much more bebop than the rest of this album. **FAST** damned awesome. there's so much more to say about this brilliant album (one of those "nice price" discs so you have NO EXCUSE not to own it) but my back really hurts. -- Jon Drukman jsd@gamespot.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Plan: Eat right, exercise regularly, die anyway.
