Last summer the classic 2 Bad Mice track 'Bombscare' came out with a '94 remix. I picked up the 10" vinyl in NYC, and loved it. Going through the used bin, I found the CD single of the same thing, only it has a very cool Moving Shadow remix. Some of the same driving beats, with some new breaks and scratches thrown in for good measure. For $3, can't be beat -- look for it! SO wot's the deal with SM:)E and 2 Bad Mice? Are they going to release any more 2 Bad in the US??? -- kent.williams@cadsi.com I've met Timmy from 'Lassie', Phyllis Diller and PDQ Bach. What's your brush with Fame?

I got the Elegy EP (ART 6) in december 94. If you see this, listen before you buy as it's not exactly the best ART release. Just some minimal wanna-be-jazzy sequencer patterns that are interesting for one minute but loop for what seems to be a eternity... What's up with Kirk D?

Dunno, but I saw him at a party in, surprisingly enough, Dayton, Ohio just a couple of days ago. I didn't get a chance to introduce myself, though. The party was very nice, btw, with fine DJ sets by Claude Young and Carl Craig. But I can't say I know what DeGeorgio was doing in Ohio (he wasn't spinning), unless he was just hanging with C.C. ----------------------------------------------------------------- dave walker, detroit art services marmoset@conch.aa.msen.com sivie minieskrot <A HREF="http://www.msen.com/~marmoset/">Dave Walker</A>

I didn't think that Elegy was Kirk D... And I agree; the Elegey 12" wasn't too hot.

This was privately sent to me but I have a feeling that it was meant for the list since there is a question posed to the list... On Mon, 22 May 1995, Joseph Savastano wrote:

BTW my post wasn't an outright flame. I didn't say anything negative about Mr. Williams. If he has the right to post that he likes a track, I have the same right to say that it's cheesy and commercial... I have an immense affection for Dub but I don't mention it here because It's not apropriate for the list. I'm not questioning anyones taste here I just don't see how 2 Bad Mice is IDM. Should we start talking about other commercial techno like Pragha Kahn and 2Unlimited? Lot's of people like the stuff... -robert ______________________________________________*AudioElectronic*_____ Sampling the 808 is like shooting an animal sonic explorers \ and hanging its stuffed head \ in your livingroom! - (mw) __\
