Brain candy, that's for sure. This record and FSOL's "Papau New Guinea" brought me into the IDM world; Intermix from the Skinny Puppy/FLA direction, and FSOL from the 4AD-L direction (due to the sampled vocals). Kudos to Pete Ashdown and Jens Alfke, respectively, for making good cases for both. :-) Dave "We have eliminated any interruptions or distractions." dmanning@cwis.unomaha.edu................dmanning@synergy.net
