Well, I picked up a coupla new CDs the other day and I thought I would waste a bit of time giving a short opinion on each... Mike & Rich "Expert Knob Twiddlers" Please file under "Distorted Clown Music" Well....I can't say I'm too surprised at the content of this CD. I mean, what do you expect from the two biggest goofballs in idm? Actually, this ain't too bad, just as long as you possess a (minimal) sense of humor...I actually enjoy it! Mike Flowers Pops meets Aphex Twin etc. Please file under "Horrifying 70's Musak" The first thing I thought when I heard the accursed first track off this single was "What the hell? Is this from the soundtrack to Barberella?!!!" The remixes are pretty good, although in the hackneyed 70's aura influenced hip-hoppity junglesque tip. The Aphex trak sounds like it would have been right at home on Hangable Auto Bulb. Extra kudos to the Slang trak. Single Cell Orchestra -self titled Please file under "Bliss" Oh my god...this is probably in my top ten albums of all time. Damn good music. Dreamy synth washes through a mellow analougue cloud floating about an eletroesque breakbeat...perfect. Any other CDs from this guy? (besides Dead Vent 7) khannan suntharam kxs28972@bayou.uh.edu
