I just got both of Jam & Spoons Tripomatic Fairytales CD's, 2001 and 2002. And I have The Complete Stella with 5 or 6 remixes of Stella. Trancey ambient stuff. Very outstanding. I'm currently looking for Tales from a Danceographic Ocean. If you know where I can get this, please e-mail me! Have they come out with any other stuff? They're outstanding. BTW, I liked 2001 better than 2002. Thanks, Don donpierr@netcom.com

I was wondering what this group's opinion is on Tripomatic Fairytales 2001 & 2002 by Jam & Spoon. I personally think both of these albums are just excellent works of Trance and Ambient, it is one of the few albums that I have listened to many, many times and not become tired of it. What are your feelings on it? I know some would say its 'too comercial' but if Trance can make it to the mainstream, that can't be all bad... Also, I would like your reviews of "The Definative Ambient Collection" by Namlook on Rising High Records. Anyone? ParaNormal (yrashid@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca)

I only have 2001 (but I'm getting a dub of 2002 tomorrow) but the copy I got had a bonus "excerpts from 2002" CD5. I personally like the new CD quite a bit, even with the pop/glam track ("Right In The Night"). Almost every review of it that I've read has kind of slammed 2001 for being too commercial, but it isn't really. It's just not generic, dark, soundtrack-from-Aliens trance. Actually, a lot of it is just straight-up, good techno. What I like best about it is the overall mood of the CD. It's _up_, which is a refreshing change. Sure, some of the tracks are a little questionable (Zen Flash Zen Bones is _not_ one of my favorites) but I think it is great to see someone doing sound experimentation/ exploration in techno (like Muffled Drums). I like it cuz it's funked up at times, tranced out at times, and different all the time. And you're right, you can listen to it two or three times straight and not feel like you're listening to the same thing over and over again like you do (at least I do) with most other techno CDs. And I wouldn't worry about either of these CDs making it to the mainstream at these prices ($35Can!!) Crispin -----
