agreed, very gritty, has its moments. Would I be correct in stating that
"bionic vagina" is the skam equivalent of a booty house track? I thought it
was great at first, but the whole thing lacks any kind of a bass line. Some
low frequencies would have worked great. RE: skam reviews-- I'm relatively
new to the whole skam thing, but I believe I have most of the older skam
releases on cdr (thanks sean!). I own the mbm/mellowtrons 12", gescom
remixes, PBO rerelease, alder & elius, and the keynell and hiscores
rereleases, and 0161. out of those I would say the PBO and hiscores are the
best. However, rather than saying that quality has declined, I would say it
is hit and miss. btw, if anyone is working on the best of IDM poll for '99,
I would like to help out. For anyone who is interested, here is a playlist
