Hello, everyone. This can be my first mail to idm. :) I made Ken Ishii's discog. It's below. Talking about Ken Ishii briefly, he is a japanese techno artist in tokyo. (Ofcource we can say that he is one of idm artists) I read that he was born in 1970 and now he works at one advertising agency in tokyo. And i read that he uses Rolland JD-800, Korg M1 and one cheap sampler. His tools are quite simple though, his sounds are quite unique. I like his music very much. :) Cheers, +------------------------------+ | Noguchi Tomonori | | s910420@ipe.tsukuba.ac.jp | | from Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan | +------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ::::::::::::::::::: The Imperfect Discography of KEN ISHII ::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::: Version 1.6 / 10 Oct. 1994 ::::::::::::::::::::::::: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You finding any fault of this file or having more information about Ken Ishii please mail to s910420@ipe.tsukuba.ac.jp (Noguchi Tomonori) Thanks to Hans Veneman (veneman@tv99ad.hacktic.nl) This file is in conformity to "Lazlo Nibble" format for yank.c yank.c: 1992, 1993 Ernie Longmire. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ::: KEN ISHII :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KEN ISHII: GARDEN ON THE PALM album [May 1993] 2x12": 1993 BEL (R&S Records / RS 93012) [May 1993] CD: 1994 JPN (Sony Records / SRCS 7350) [21 May 1994] No./ Title / Time ------------------------------- 01 / GARDEN ON THE PALM / 05:30 02 / LOOP / 04:18 03 / PRODROME / 05:28 04 / NIL / 04:45 05 / SPONGE / 05:07 06 / POPGUN / 05:10 07 / QF / 05:57 ------------------------------- TOTAL TIME / 36:35 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KEN ISHII: UTU single [Jul 1993] 12": 1993 CAN (+8 Records / PLUS 8026) [Jul 1993] [ A ] 01 / N428 02 / Samsara [ AA ] 01 / Between The Mirrors 02 / Synchronia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KEN ISHII: Pneuma single [Sep 1993] 12": 1993 BEL (R&S Records / RS 93025) [Sep 1993] [ Black Side ] 01 / Pneuma [ Silver Side ] 01 / Twist Of Space 02 / Low ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KEN ISHII: DEEP SLEEP single [Nov 1993] 12": 1993 BEL (Apollo Records / APOLLO 8) [Nov 1993] [ Logo Side ] 01 / Kala 02 / Floater [ Info Side ] 01 / Naiad ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KEN ISHII: Tangled Notes single [1994] 12": 1994 BEL (R&S Records / RS 94046) [1994] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KEN ISHII: Innerelements album [Apr 1994] CD: 1994 BEL (R&S Records / RS 94038 CD) [Apr 1994] No./ Title / Time / Taken from ----------------------------------------------------------- 01 / ENCODING / 01:11 / Previously Unreleased 02 / A.F.I.A.C. / 07:48 / Tangled Notes 03 / TWIST OF SPACE / 05:21 / Pneuma 04 / QF / 05:55 / Garden on the Palm 05 / FLURRY / 07:25 / Tangled Notes 06 / GARDEN ON THE PALM / 05:28 / Garden on the Palm 07 / PNEUMA / 06:59 / Pneuma 08 / SPONGE / 05:05 / Garden on the Palm 09 / RADIATION 03 / 05:51 / Tangled Notes 10 / LOOP / 04:16 / Garden on the Palm 11 / FRAGMENTS OF YESTERDAY / 10:16 / Previously Unreleased 12 / KALA / 09:20 / Deep Sleep 13 / DECODING / 02:31 / Previously Unreleased ----------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL TIME / 77:41 Note: 03 in some(?) 1st presses are PNEUMA.
