wot i bought a couple of days ago: DMX Krew - DMX Bass/Rock Your Body (1st release on breakin' records) Drexciya 4 The Return of Drexciya Lovecraft - Intelligent Univers (apollo records) Nav Katze - Never mind the Distortion (aphex/blackdog etc..remixes) Wishmountain - Video Scala - Slide EP I'm most concerned about the last in that list coz I don't know if i'll get into it really even after a few listens as it's a bit indie for me. -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/

id say its similar to beauty nowhere. a little less noisy and i think it sounds perhaps slightly more electronic? first track is slide, an alright track, but theres other scala stuff i like more. perhaps because the vocals are quieter and more distorted in other scala tracks. the next track is vitamin x which i really like. the music starts and is played at a low volume for the first minute and a half. then the volume picks up and the vocals drop in. i think what i like about the song is that the vocals sound like sarah peacock and her clone singing slightly out of phase, and smothered by the distorted guitars placed on top of them. the last two tracks are both remixes of slide. i dont think that either remix really adds anything new to the song or covers any new ground. theres some good stuff on here, but unless youre a scala/seefeel/locust completist, id save my money and hope that the next scala release has more variety and more tracks since this release really has only 2 tracks. -t
