er, well, i haven't actually heard it yet, so any comments i may have made on it are purely speculative. /jon

Who's actually heard it, then? I've been afraid to investigate further because the single the local AltRock(tm) station is playing is more Kraft than Kraftwerk, if you know what I mean. | Dave Walker, Detroit Art Services (DAS) | | | | marmoset@msen.com My name is (zxqygbblkddfg) and I am funky. |

I have it. I like it. Really gives me the same feel and results as OPUS III. It has remained one of the five discs in my player since purchase last week. To make it that long is usually a good sign, to me. I get too many new discs. If you like OPUS III, definately check it out. Luckily (?), I have never listened much to Kraftwerk, so I don't have the impressions many get when they hear similarities or out-right ripoffs of them. =B) _______________________________________________________________________________ Joseph Morrison -------------------------------------------- brapman@netcom.com ------------------------------- MIDI = Life ----------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wed, 14 Sep 1994, Dave Walker wrote:

I can see the Opus III comparisions (especially on the 3 or 4 tracks with female vocals). I must say though that to me it sounds more like Enigma or Deep Forest, but more wicked (not as nice...make sense?). It has been panned constantly on alt.industrial but its really quite good. Got some great, catchy, tunes with nice beats. A few of the songs are really haunting... MC

I agree. I think there is a very definate Enigma feel to it. In fact, I have sold 4 copies in the store I manage simply by playing it, having someone come up and say "Is this a new Enigma?". Orbital sells well to "average" people from in-store play, too. I love it when the music is spread that much further into the sheltered American music world. Cheers. _______________________________________________________________________________ Joseph Morrison -------------------------------------------- brapman@netcom.com ------------------------------- MIDI = Life ----------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 15 Sep 1994, Mark Conklin wrote:

Let me just comment that if you want somthing that sounds like OPUS III or has the same feel, try the Waterlillies. The music is that happy poppy-techno, with a very pretty female voice (and she can sing a lot better than the opus iii woman) they have a single out now for a song called _tempted_, with some spooky remixes. very nice. -Gil
