Does anyone remember trans-europe express 3? Mike P was interviewed there and
he said that he wanted to do a techno-jazz album, 'kinda like lisa carbon
trio' was what he said . Anyway, the influence from LCT is definitely
present in Jake Slaz material
but his stuff is somewhat less based on loops. I like 'polyester', it's
a real oddity.
Also:
Mike P's mixes of kinesthesia have obviously now been released. I also read
somewhere
that he's remixed X-Asp, also on Rephlex. Does any one know who or what
X-Asp is?
