The Orb show in SF was incredible! I also spent way too much money on records. However, I'm here to tell each and every one of you to rush right out and buy the Abduction LP by Eat Static. This can be found on Planet Dog Records out of England. This LP has the finest tunes I've heard in a great long time. Has anyone else heard this? Wow. Brian Genesis@rigel.cs.pdx.edu

yes i reviewed it for IDM in issue 1.3 of my review series. here it is again: Eat Static - Abduction Planet Dog BARK CD 001 132 7:21 Prana 136 6:29 Gulf Breeze 142 6:46 Kalika 118 8:39 Splitting World 134 6:41 Kinetic Flow 142 8:13 Forgotten Rites 102 7:56 Abduction 138 6:07 Intruder 130 6:29 Xenomorph 135 6:07 Inner Peace I nearly shit a brick when this disc commenced with yet another sample of Terence McKenna. Please God, I prayed, cause all the recordings of this man's voice to be erased immediately. Fortunately, it was only a 3 second sample and there are NO MORE anywhere else on the disc! (Tim Leary, Gen P-Orridge, McKenna - if I never hear these voices on record ever again, I will be VERY happy.) Even more fortunately, the music on this disc is really incredible. "Prana" is a wonderful bouncy techno tune with some lovely analog squelches. "Abduction" is a gorgeous trip, with a long ambient intro leading into a memorable and pretty melody. This is quality stuff! One thing I should mention is that the songs actually *go places*! Yes, they have direction, rather than being 8 minutes worth of loops. Right on. And despite the prevalence of high tempi, the songs are absolutely NOT typical headbanging hardcore. Summary: Solid album of intelligent listening music - danceable and highly melodic. 9/10.

:on records. However, I'm here to tell each and every one of you to rush :right out and buy the Abduction LP by Eat Static. This can be found on :Planet Dog Records out of England. This LP has the finest tunes I've heard :in a great long time. : : Has anyone else heard this? Wow. Why should I 'rush right out and buy' it? Please, if you hear some music you think is soooooo great and sooooo kickin' and whatever, could you maybe be a bit more descriptive? Just a mention of whether or not its hard, trancy, ambient, etc... would do better than the typical promo of most cheezy techno comps of, 'Oh man, you've just GOT to get this... the BESTEST, MOST KICKIN TECHNO YET!!!'
