That's kind of what some of the Mo'Wax stuff sounds like. For that matter, listen again to "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back." for some deep science behind rap music. You should ring up Terminator X, Mr. Hawtin, and do something with him. He did a DJ tour a few years ago that was nothing short of brilliant. -- Kent Williams kent@cadsi.com "Swirling a sound [in Quadrophonic Space] at an audio rate produces interesting spatial and modulative effects" -- Serge Modular Product Spec Sheet.
