Yeah, the record is Zealtronic Aubergine by B.Fleischmann. The tracks are: A1 - Toru Okada B1 - In the Well "Toru Okada" is the main character from "The Wind-up bird Chronicle" who spends a large amount of time "in the well". It almost makes sense if you read it... Its probably my favourite book ever, in equal amounts sad, beautiful, sexy, intriguing and confounding. Track 1 is quite nice ambient guitar/electronica fusion based stuff, somewhat like some of the TelefonTelAviv stuff, but with more harsh fuzz. It finally descends into overdrive snow at the end. Track 2 is much more electronic sounds similar to some early bluff limbo µ-ziq, electronic tweaking but slow and comfortable, again uber-distortion. Overall I'd say its Ok, a nice mellow break from all the Venetian Snares type electronica, but for me really a novelty purchase because of the track names, however I will probably get a full length when one becomes available. georgewilliamson --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
