I recently picked up the Lagowski 'Europa Reprised' (on GPR) single and was wondering if anybody knew of any other releases from this madman. For those not in the know, Lagowski creates something akin to intelligent hardcore - cool industrial rhythms (the main song on the EP is "Piledriver") coupled with droney, haunting melodies. Sort of akin to Joyrex J9. The single has an excellent remix by Beaumont Hannant and a so-so one by Y03, who seem to be characterized by the accusation TeeP (speaking of whom, have you found a copy of that Diesel M single yet? *gloat* *gloat*) leveled at AI2 -- *extremely mediocre* IDM. Is there a just plain "Europa" single? Any (hoping against hope) full-length releases on GPR? In fact, does anybody have any sort of tentative GPR discography? I'd love to get my hands on a copy. yrz in truth, ozymandias

Here's the tracklist from Lagowski's Europa EP n GPR (GENP(X)24): 1. Europa (Lagowski Version) 2. Europa (Hi-Ryze Version) 3. Atomizer 4. Cypher 5. Piledriver (Original Version) The first to tracks are sci-fi trance. Hi-Ryze is another GPR artist and his version is ironically better, IMHO, than Lagowski's. Atomizer is more neat IDM, and Cypher is a short ambient cut which prepares you for the assault of Piledriver. When I first heard Piledriver, ozymandias, I thought the same exact thing: "intelligent hardcore!" Overall, its a really cool EP. Actually, everything I've ever bought on GPR sounds fresh and innovative, and I'm always looking to find more of their releases. Matt
