T(ranscendental) L(ove) M(achine) - I've Got the Battery... Where's the Slot? Hydrogen Dukebox - DUKE 028CD 2:96 okay, so it's on Dukebox... don't think Slab. Think Orbital... think Orb... think Slam... maybe even a little Mark Broom. A very nice 60+m collection of thinking boy/girl's techno. Mercifully free of diva vocals (there's a mildly annoying female vox half-crooning-half-droning something Joni Mitchell-style(!?) above the buzz of "My Head is Full of Wires," but no distaff aural assaults otherwise). Also relatively short on breakbeats - a rarity these days. Uncluttered, sort of trance-y, slow, and highly melodic. Just well-crafted "experimental" techno - no modifiers or buzzwords needed! Worth investigating - even if just for the great package design. Hmmmm.... you CAN judge some books by their nifty (pizza-box styled) covers! I think it's wonderful. Anyone else agree? The perfect balm for an overdose of Alec Empire, T.J., and Biochip-C 'blitzkrieg breaks'... same must be said for the OUTSTANDING(with many - many - "!"s implied) _Return of Drexciya_ 12"... question: this is pt. 2 of a ltd. 3-part series. Has anyone seen pt. 1 (_1-96:Recharged_) and pt. 3 (_3-96:Orgasmatronic_)? The oversized cardboard box is designed to fit all three (jewel-cased) cds. Goes with their Lego-themed logo: interlocking parts, yadda yadda... G-man, II gman2@sprynet.com

"D'OH!" If you get queasy at the thought of techno/folk hybrids, don't avoid "My Head is Full of Wires" - that's just the 2nd half of the first track's full title ("When I Wake Up in the Morning, My Head is Full of Wires). Instead, steer clear of "Electrastar (Part 1,2, & 3)." Or at least give it a shot. Great stuff. . . sure to appeal to fans of TiTBoA Locust fans. G-man II self-censoring so YOU don't have to np: Wallstar - "Gurnigan"
