Option
The latest issue of Option (#54 Jan/Feb 1994) has the Aphex Twin on the cover and an article called "Beat Generation" about the Aphex Twin, Vapour Space, and Irristible Force. I'll type in the article in the next couple days if no one else does first. Also, in a short snippet about E-Mail on the Multimeia page they give the address for Instinct's Ravenet as 72170,1753@Compuserve.Com Has anybody heard of this? [fletcher]

Yeah. It's on the back of a lot of Instinct releases, including Techno Injection II. It's a Compuserve account. Never tried sending anything, though... Jesse

Me: "Option" is without a doubt my favorite magazine. No matter what style(s) of music you prefer, there's something interesting for you. I cannot recommend it highly enough. -- Mark Turner mturner@netcom.com

Although I didn't find much interest in the aforementioned article, I'd have to agree - Option is a great mag. The writers usually know a lot about what they review, which cannot be said for similar publications such as Alternative Press. Furthermore, even though AP covers a lot of interesting music, too much of their writing reeks of the "Oh, I'm so alternative" mentality. Second the recommendation (for Option, that is). -Harvey ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey D.
