Me too. My band is called Kinetic Illusion and has loads of floating members but I only record tracks with one other person at a time. At the moment, we have a tape on release called "Cosmic Strings" which is available in Ambient Soho and also from the record stall at Megatripolis (but they`ve sold out). Next month I`m recording a 6-track mini-album for DJ Rockit (owner of Ambient Soho) who`s setting up a record label. I`m developing six of the eight tracks that are on the Cosmic Strings tape, and that should be limited to 500 12"`s at first, but we may do more later. Also: when I gave my "Cosmic Strings" tape to Megatripolis they thought it was a DJ tape of mine for some reason, and they found out last week that it was actually my own stuff. So the label that they run (Dream) wants to release a 12" single from it, and it`ll probably be called "Helicopters Over Kempshott" and be out in summer. And look out for Kinetic Illusion playing live at Zero Gravity either at the end of February or the end of March, and also playing at Megatripolis sometime in the Spring hopefully. Keep techno live! Brendan Nelson PS any other electronic musicians who`ve done gigs before?

Hey, let us know when the album goes out on 12". I know I'd be interested in a copy and since you're only going to print ~500 this list would be a great place to start. Also, is there a way for any of us to get a copy of your Cosmic Strings? e x t r a p o l a t e steve j. white _____________________________________________________________________________ Gort, klatu barada nicto. aragorn@csd4.csd.uwm.edu

I don't know if I'm doing IDM (haven't had my IQ tested yet... ;), but some of my material was released on R&S Records last year - actually a double 12" containing nine tracks - under the project name Synthesized Dialogue. Working on new material at the moment, hope to have it released some time this spring/summer (I'm not working at the "ten-tracks-before- breakfast-fifteen-tracks-before-dinner-twenty-tracks-before-the- evening-news" tempo of AFX).

Oh yes. But not ambient techno, more like the DM-approach on synth pop. ----------------------------------------------------- - Johan Burman, eldjbu@tt.luth.se - - woom@ludd.luth.se - - - - woom uses akai equipment... - -----------------------------------------------------

Haven't checked mail for a few days...but I do IDM (at least, I hope it's "I") and I'll have a record out in about a month. Vinyl only, four songs, on the Visible label out of San Francisco. I also did one of the mixes on the latest Darwin Chamber record, "The Love e.p.", obviously the Seofon mix. I suppose it's a bit early, but if anyone has feedback on these things when they find them, let me know. --Seofon
