Let me preface by saying that it's not IDM at all, so sue me... but it's _very_ good. It's not an album, it's what KC call a "calling card" for the new "double trio" lineup in the liner notes -- 6 tracks, 31 minutes (I think). As a point of reference, it sounds a lot more like _Red_ than, say, _Discipline_ or _Beat_ -- sometimes harsh, maybe even bombastic, but always, always interesting. An intriguing little bit printed on the sleeve reads as follows: The phonographic copyright in these performances is operated by Discipline (GM) Records on behalf of the artists, with whom it resides. Discipline accepts no reason for artists to give away such copyright interests in their work by virtue of a "common practice" which is out of tune with the time, was always questionable and is now indefensible. So there. On now: _Escape Ventures EP_ by Sons of the Subway (Infonet) ----------------------------------------------------------------- dave walker, detroit art services marmoset@msen.com me & my robots
