divine proportion and the golden section are basically the same mathematical concept. they go along the same lines as the golden spiral. it's also called the golden mean. i can't remember exactly what the hell it is though. the concept was used alot in ancient greek sculpture and architecture (supposedly made things more pleasing to the eye). anyway, with whatever points i've scored, maybe someone can inform me as to whether or not an aphex twin release exists entitled "jam roly poly". i saw it listed on some small on-line cd store and was wondering if maybe they just fucked up or i'm really missing something... thanks -marc-
