Hello. For no reason in particular, I decided to stick Richard Kirk's "Virtual State" in the CD player tonight for the first time in years. Jeez, I'd forgotten just how good this album is. I have fond memories of driving backwards and forwards between college and home with this, Autechre's "Incunabula", B12's "Electro-Soma" and Black Dog's "Bytes" on constant rotation. Lovely, hypnotic melodies and trance-like rhythms, crispy ambience, African music/vocal samples and an atmosphere like no other. I never did get round to buying Kirk's other Warp album. How does that compare? It's a bit hard to tell from the samples on Warpnet. -- Mark Stevens http://www.headspin.clara.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
