In your message on Kirk you stated the following:
"Richard H. Kirk has been a strong but quiet influence on the Sheffield/WARP
scene for years, as most notably as Caberet Voltaire, but also as one
half of the Sweet Exorcist. This is his first solo album to date and it's
a cracker."
Just a correction here. It is perhaps his first techno solo album, but
certainly not his first solo effort per se. His first solo album was
released in 1983 on DoubleVision, distributed by Rough Trade Rec.
It is in fact a double album called TIME HIGH FICTION.

Just got a mailer from TVT announcing the US release of the Richard James
a/k/a Aphex Twin, Polygon Windows, Dice Man, etc. debut "Analogue Bubblebath"
which was originally released in 1991 on Mighty Force Records (2,500 copies
made).
catalog TVT 4810
Not too bad if you dont already have it. (i do)
the release also mentions the "music designers from Rochdale, England" who go
by the name Autechre. The Incanabula CD is out domestic now. cat# TVT 7210.
It also included the list of tour dates for Artificial Intelligence Tour,
phase one. Where is The Cooler in NYC? I never been there. is it only
capacity 400?
you can order from TVT at 212.979.6410, or fax 212.979.7372
coolstuff.

To: idm@techno.Stanford.EDU
Has intelligent techno reached its peak? No way. There may be backlash
against some of the more unoriginal work that has been released recently,
but IT is still expanding. Listen to the tribal dance of (e.g.) the
Psychic Warriors ov Gaia, or the techno/poems of Underworld. Also, the
press may slag off Richard James for producing "noise for art's sake" (as
someone said in Melody Maker recently), but I think that the D-Scape mix of
"On" (from the remixes ep out on Warp) is pure brilliance - excellent,
complex dance music that in no way relies on the cliche "funky drummer" beat.
Comments?

Well, I've given it a week. The S/N ratio is just too low here. Too much
bickering about what'z k00l and what'z not. I had hoped to get a better
knowledge of new intelligent dance music in general, but either no one is
writing anything besides house/techno derivitives, or no one on this list
cares. In any case, I'm outta here (not that you care either).
the next revolution is comming. soon.
