A couple weeks ago, I picked up [las vegas], and I think it's great stuff. I've listened to some other work by Gas and enjoy it's minimal drone, but I think what I like so well about the burger/ink album is the really lush and hypnotic melodies. I guess my question is, who's the melody-maker behind this project, and what else is there that approaches this type of sound? A second question. For those of you who have Modulation and Transformation 4, how similar, on average, are the works presented to the artists' portfolios as a whole? I guess the reason I ask is because after developing decidedly luke-warm feelings towards many of the tracks, I would end up hearing the artist's work elsewhere and really enjoy it (eg, Scanner, Lithops...). I always assumed that M&T4 was a compilation of "ambient" artists displaying their wares, but I'm starting to get the feeling that it might just be general idm personae deviating from their normal ways an cutting a more clicky/glitchy ambient track. Thoughts? -mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

In general, most of the tracks on M&T4 are representative of the artist's styles that they display on their own releases.
