Check out the Herbie Hancock track (Raindrops...Rainfall?) on the David
Toop compilation 'Ocean of sound', Its incredible, some crazy arp synths
just doing mad bleeps, whines and drones, some crazy wack-ass bass line
and some heavily reverbed horn, it sounds like what mowax should of sounded
like, and then the next track on the album is Analogue Bubblebath I,
its a good CD.... also featuring king tubby, john hassel, terry riley,
john cage, john zorn, eric satie...and the beach boys!..worthy odd purchase.
I see Ocean of sound 3 is out too, mad electro compilation with like
egyptian lover and Al-Naayfish (spelling?..) on.... im sorry im battered,
have to go to bed now...

But I use my super science and I twist all three
I see sparks over that building
They're shooting at me
I dip, do a back flip
Then hit em in the heart with sharp steel book marks
Ignorance hates when I drop it
But no matta what he do
He can't stop the prophet....Jeru....
