uh, maybe that's because RDJ actually did the drum programming and co-produced that track. although pretty difficult to find these days, my recommendation for gian at the top of his game is the transparent yellow kromode EP , if you can find it. melodie d' aout and the utterly beautiful silence du temps (think extra crispy recipe electro beats slathered with speak-and-spell era depeche mode melodies.) he's also got a fair amount of stuff which hasn't ever made it to release that fans of his "older" style stuff would adore. but artistically, he really is moving in a different direction these days. at least he's not in a formula rut, which i'm not sure i can say for some of the other deities we worship on this list. -- Jeff Davis pHlow@earthlink.net fn:216.533.6303 fx:216.266.2310 text:2165336303@mobile.att.net pHlow.linx: home.earthlink.net/~phlow/ Bochum Welt: www.bochumwelt.com Rotator Locator: hyperreal.org/music/rotator/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
