Johan Burman: "It all depends on which reality one prefers..." Well there is only one reality. I think it`d be sad if the future involved people hiding from one another inside computers. But is this the philosophy list? No! So I can`t go on about that, luckily. Kate Roberts: The "Up above the World" (actually I think that`s the name of the band rather than the track) 12" on Exist Dance (on purple vinyl) sounds like ethereal, dreamy, typically West Coast trance. The 303 is musical (rare), the chords are hazy, and there is some sample which keeps repeating itself ("trying to get to you" or something like that). However I didn`t buy it cos it`s 2 mixes of the same track and I`m stingy. I suppose that if you live in the States where it`d cost about ?3 (compared to ?7 over here) it`s good value for money. I recommend it. Darren Emerson: It`s OK for you because you could afford a double-CD player to mix with, and also to press music onto both vinyl and CD (AND cassette! why has no-one mentioned that smart format?). We have to agonise over it endlessly because there`s not much else to do. Irdial: Leaders in the Left Field! Excellent! The Ear Plug debate: I`d _hate_ to be deaf but it seems wierd wearing ear plugs to a club. It seems that the only solution is to go to virtual reality clubs where there`s a killer sound system but you have indestructible ears. Which brings me back to my original point... lost transmission from Cowley (but only 10 yards from Uxbridge) Brendan Nelson

the band is Up Above The World, the tracks are "Trying To Reach You" and "Trying To Reach Sawaan". it's purple vinyl with black and white swirls. very pretty. i don't know where you get "ethereal, dreamy, typically West Coast trance" from though - it's nightmarish, dissonant, and scary - absolutely not West Coast at all. much more suited to the east coast and the UK, i'd say. it's also pretty fast (138 BPM) which rules it out of 99% of San Francisco gigs...

I was at a HUGE party this weekend with one of the biggest sound systems i'd ever seen. I wore my plugs the whole time and my head was still throbbing afterwards. But I had no ringing and no distortion. I don't care if people think i'm a geek or weird for wearing them - i'll laugh at them later when they've gone deaf. but of course they won't hear me then will they...
