this release is a major disappointment: childish, amateurish and puerile. this used to be a good thing, but this noisy copy of a copy of a copy of mike+rich is simply excrutiatingly painful to listen to. i am seriously considering mailing this record par avion to andy maddocks with a message, saying he can have his crappy records back and that i won't buy another skam release until he starts publishing worthwhile, heartfelt music, like he used to. i'm sick and tired of getting ripped off by these marketing assholes. my two cents, alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Remember, the label is called _Skam_. Worthwhile, heartfelt music? Skam 1 = bad Skam 2 = listenable Skam 3 = listenable Skam 4 = NO! Skam 5 = listenable Skam 6 = very good Skam 7 = the best Skam 8 = the best Skam 9 = very good Skam 10 this = listenable + Skam 10 that = bad Skam 11 = bad Skam 12 = bad SkaLD1 = the best SkaLD2 = listenable + Kmas1 = bad Kmas2 = listenable + 0161 = listenable Skampler = varies Mask 1 = bad Mask 2 = excellent Mask 3 = MUST.STOP.RECORD Mask 4 = bad Mask 5 = funny bad Frisbee = stylus destruction Although, may I say, I do love you list members: thank you for saving me from buying yet another record I'd just turn around lose $3 on second hand. Just wish somebody had warned me about Schematic.

Skam 4 = the only decent freeform release..................................ever. Skam 5 = ummmm, 2 decent tracks; one of which is on 5 other releases. Skam 6 = the shit. 2 really great tracks. Skam 7 = the crappiest shit fuck i ever heard out of Skam until now. Skam 8 = 50% nice, again. good release. its better on vinyl when i don't have the option of listening to it as much. Skam 9 = the shit. 66 2/3% great. possibly the best. Skam 10 this = rocks cause of Viral Rival, come on now. Skam 10 that = totally needs a few runs. is good after that. Skam 11 = the only decent PBO release at that time. i like. good if you hated his earlier stuff. Skam 12 = i listened to it once. Skam 13 = oh fuck. SkaLD1 = mostly disappointing. had some choice moments. should have been a 3"cd EP. SkaLD2 = really good if you're not paying any attention to it at all. Kmas1 = 50% great even though it took a while to get that way. 1st Skam i ever had. Kmas2 = sweet. 60% great. 0161 = good for letting everyone in on a little group we call Yunx. Gescom track is rad. Skampler = they picked all the worst stuff. Mask 1 = the BoC track is ok. other than that, you people that would pay over $11 for it are mad. Mask 2 = the Hell Interface track is boundary breaking. killer! Mask 3 = never heard it. Mask 4 = next. Mask 5 = its on the way Frisbee = looks good on my wall.

To be honest, I have very little Skam product but very much enjoy Mask 500. The breakbeat style track is annoying but the 80s New Wave stuff is all good. The cover of "Ashes to Ashes" is brilliant as is BoC remix of "Midas Touch". Is Skampler really bad? ----- Original Message ----- From: Bell Ex-One <stepintime@juno.com> To: <idm@hyperreal.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 1999 4:47 AM Subject: (idm) alder + elius

Are we all completely certain it's BoC? Yes, I love the track too, very 80's in feel. I know it's been discussed. But still... It's so hot my brain is frying! Just come out of the pool, still dripping... summer's on the way! Southern hemispherians unite.
