Amazon.com has RA snippets of both Waveform Transmissions Vol. 2 and
Internal Empire.
I do agree that WT2 is not as sophisticated or as well produced as IE, but I
think it still has a place. I don't know that I would describe it as lame
or generic, but I would agree it is pretty repetitive and Jeff Mills
derivitive... but there're a lot worse it could be. If you didn't buy
things because they were Mills-derived there are back catalogs of entire
record labels you would never own. Neither of Jeff Mills Waveform
Transmissions records are as sophisticated or well produced as the
PurposeMaker comp., but they still have a place in my collection too. And
the same could be said for the UR 'Revolution for Change' CD, because it
isn't as sophisticated or 'current' as the UR and Red Planet stuff since,
but it's still an interesting record in a historical sense and there are
some solid tracks on it. I feel the same way about WT2.

dunno, I don't think The Vision - Waveform
Transmissions 2 is really that good at all. In fact I
think it kinda sucks - just lame 909 thumps and
uninteresting short sequences along with standard
filtering etc... very generic. Not to mention that
it's produced poorly...
but the robert hood lp on tresor ('infernal empire' i
think) is quite excellent... Not as generic as WT2,
in fact not generic at all really. Pretty mean, but
still strange.
