so i not only snoozed that allien's new CD is due out next week, i've just noticed she's released some great songs NOT on the CD. as much as i dislike downloads, this looks like the only way i can get this music. boomkat has it all, and in FLAC too, which is great because frankly i plan to convert the files to AIFF and put on a CD. but i'm in the US and their prices are in pounds, so i feel like i'n getting trounced on the exchange rate. are there any US-based legit download sites i can buy her stuff from? ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at chthonicstreams.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

i heard previews on boomkat and i like what i heard. but then i also like AGF, who obviously had a huge impact on it. i don't like 'berlinette' though so that may give you a clue my taste is in a different direction. also: the only plastikman i have is 'consumed' and i love that. i also love senking. so far i hear bits of that kind of stuff in this new one. not the direction people were expecting, but good for her for following her muse.

they sometimes are. recently i was disappointed by a few CD's because the low-bitrate clips made them sound more cool and raw than they were. it does sound empty compared to her usual work but i'm willing to give it a shot. you know, kudos for trying the experiment outside of the comfort zone. i also like things like nurse with wound's "homotopy to marie" where there's a sound and then silence for like 5 seconds and then a different sound and so on. hmm, funny now you say it's "not bad" while before you said it "sucks big time"! i may end up not liking it who knows, but i love most of what she has her hands in so i'm giving it a shot.

quoted 3 lines P.S. consumed is great. i was just listening to it few times this

"sucks" is not "bad" it sucks to feel disappointed. anyway, go for it. it should be interesting to hear your feedback after all. chthonic streams parašė:

Citinite. Isophlux. M3rck. DETUND) http://www.myspace.com/colorstrip Snatching all kinds of influences from his Detroit birthplace and his current New York base, Jimmy Edgar manufactures unique and provocative modern sound environments. Stitching beats together since he was ten, he released his first records with ISOPHLUX and M3RCK. His ensuing WARP Records releases, the acclaimed EP Bounce, Make, Model and full-length album Color Strip, broke the rhythm and melody down to its prime components to create a tight, ultra-modern feel. Jimmy's latest release - I Don't Know (What You're Doing To Me; Citinite 2008) is what Boomkat calls "a thick and slick slice of late night dancefloor gratification that references Prince, Drexciya, Zapp and many more in the finest style." Jimmy is currently at work on his full-length follow-up to Color Strip.... expect some peeks into future releases in this "can't miss" special live/dj performance. == LIZ REVISION (aka QUANTAZELLE) (DJ performance - from CHICAGO - Label: Subvariant) http://www.quantazelle.com http://www.myspace.com/quantazelle Liz Revision is the dj alias of Lix Mclean Knight, the multifaceted chicago based artist behind a multitude of technologically innovative creative offerings (Quantazelle, Subvariant). Her dj sets run the gamut of experimental ambient and glitchy techno. After partying with the newlywed(and hubby, DetUnd's A.Lochead) at Mutek in Montreal, we're very confident that her dj set will have you mentally stimulated and gluteally motivated. == MANDATE (LIVE PA - from CHICAGO - Label: Ghost Arcade) http://www.myspace.com/mandate Mandate is techno music produced by Mike Broers (ex ghost arcade) & Dan Jugle (Chandeliers, ex Ghost Arcade). Their jams are unapologetic synth/sequencer driven tr-909 workouts. This live performance is guaranteed to rock your stockings. _________________________________________________________________ Now you can invite friends from Facebook and other groups to join you on Windows Live™ Messenger.
