You're talking about the (March 2002) 'Variaciones
Espectrales' on Instinct Records. In this release you
can definitely see Jack moving more into the abstract
electronic field while still retaining the classic MBM
feeling. I think the track you're referring to may be
"No Secrets No Surprises" --which could be a compliment
to "No Purpose No Design" featured on Subliminal
Sandwich.. --who knows? ;D

The name of the "album" in question is the 'Tape Music'
10" release on TinoCorp's "Science & Education" sub-label
called Flexidisc. In this series you can also find the 'Sounds
of the 20th Century' material highlighting the abstract
experimentations in field-recordings and other oddities that
Jack and the clan have been up to. For more info on this
10" release,
http://www.tinocorp.com/tapemusic.html is
where to go..

I agree with Kent 100% regarding the new full length on
Run Recordings/Skor Rec.. I also have to add that for those
of you who are expecting to hear the "typical" MBM beats
and bass will be in for a surprise. There are a few top-notch
experimentally pounding tracks on 'RUOK?' such as "Yuri" &
"No Echo In Space" that will have your speakers lifting into
the sky. I full feature/review of this album will appear at
Igloo Magazine next week.. (www.igloomag.com).
The MBM Website is currently streaming "Supersoul", another
track from the full-length. Check it out by heading over to
www.brainwashed.com/mbm. If you want to hear a clean &
clear version of this track in high(er) quality streaming, tune
in to Digital::Nimbus (Radio) tonight at midnight-3am PST..
(www.digitalnimbus.com). :D
That's it for now, and before i forget, it would probably be
in your interest to check out the MBM Historical Archive hosted
by the lovely Freakquency Modulator.. www.digitalchemist.com/mbm.
Here you'll see MBM's history spanning 15 years with an
abundance of photo's, information and other important details!
