Yes indeed he did along with Youth, Laurent Garnier, Lol Hammond etc The Water CD is of course AMBIENT music and very nice too if you like the Hillage cosmic guitar sound which I'm quite partial to myself even tho I hate guitars (dons flameproofs) The Fire CD is cool house/techno mixes of the same trax. It's not exActly avant garde but very tasteful. Actually I think System 7 are generally cool ... their set at Phoenix was rockin Hillage is about the only old hippy to have got a handle on techno and ambience, as evidenced by his fine taste in collaborators. (Carl Craig, Derrick May, Alex Patterson, etc) I'd recommend both CDs for best value - get the ambient CD and the 12" of Sirenes ... DJ TIP : it's lots of fun to mix both CDs together Albums split like this should encourage DJs to EXPERIMENT ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- GLOBAL CHILLAGE the new LP from IRRESISTIBLE FORCE out NOW!!! --- --- check out Mixmaster Morris's ambient information server at --- --- http://www.southern.com/MMM/homepage.html (in the uk) --- --- http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/trellos/homepage.html (in the US) --- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
