When I was in SF last weekend, I bought "X-MIX-2: The Tracks", which is a 3x12" containing all the source material for X-MIX-2. 13 delicious singles for $20. None of the tracks are brand spanking new, but it's great stuff nonetheless. I'm not sure if it's available on CD. Call your favorite record store.

You may also want to look into getting a UR compilation CD. There's "Revolution for Change", which is wonderful but on the old side, (came out after Final Frontier but before Galaxy 2 Galaxy), and "Into the Void" which I don't have, so I can't comment on. -Sho -- sho@physics.purdue.edu <<-- finger this account to find out what I'm having for lunch! <A HREF="http://physics.purdue.edu/~sho/homepage.html>Sho Kuwamoto</A>.

'Escape Into The Void' is quite good. It's a compilation of stuff from Submerge with tracks from The Martian, Mad Mike, Drexciya, The Suburban Knight and more. Just a bit older but possibly even better is 'Depth Charge 1'. This also features 'Final Frontier'! Tracks on this compilation are by Mad Mike, The Martian and Ghetto Tech. Both these compilations came out before Galaxy 2 Galaxy. A few moments ago i was listening to 'Final Frontier Part 2', which is on the double 12" 'Acid Rain III-Meteor Shower'. It's really good. -- +-----------------------------------+ | Hans Veneman | | E-mail: veneman@tv99ad.hacktic.nl | | phone: +31(0)3200-35266 | +-----------------------------------+

Yes, I'll second that. I've actually managed to get my hands on almost all the UR stuff that's available on CD. Unfortunately, I've never been able to track down Depth Charge 1. Perhaps I should try Record Time again... Question for all the really dedicated UR collectors... A friend of mine let me listen to a CD by The Final Cut. He claimed that Jeff Mills (or some portion of UR) was a member of the group. The band broke up and Jeff Mills left, although what was left of the group recorded an industrial-ish CD for Nettwerk (again under the name The Final Cut) that was stylistically quite different. I listened to the first CD, and I could swear that I heard that distinctive UR style on a number of the tracks. There was no track listing, liner notes, or any other helpful information included. So ... was this for real -- was Jeff Mills once a member of the group the Final Cut? Rob

Yes, this is true. Jeff helped with a record called 'The Bass Has landed' and the LP 'Deep Into The Cut'. After the album Jeff quit Final Cut. I haven't heard any of this, so i have no idea if it's any good. I also think the last few records i heard of Mr Mills weren't very good, a bit too hard/fast :( -- +-----------------------------------+ | Hans Veneman | | E-mail: veneman@tv99ad.hacktic.nl | | phone: +31(0)3200-35266 | +-----------------------------------+

From what I've heard of Jeff Mills ("Changes of Life" off Tresor II comp), it's a joke. But then some may like the hard but minimal stuff. But this song just sounded like a kid and his toys... -djkc

"Changes of Life" was a failed experiment ("let's make a really hard piano track"). The rest of the album from which that track is taken is one of the best (ahem) hardcore albums I've ever heard (_Waveform Transmission Vol. 1_). Check out X-103's _Atlantis_ to hear Mills doing what he (IMO) does best. ----------------------------------------------------------------- dave walker, detroit art services _ marmoset@msen.com freeke robot luv

No nay never... the Final Cut was a MOEV-like semi-industrial band from the Detroit area. Jeff Mills never had anything to do with them. | Dave Walker, Detroit Art Services (DAS) | | | | marmoset@msen.com At this point things get a little hazy. |
