i just have to point out yet again that the hardkisses are a bunch of thieving bastards. my cohorts and i did most of the work on hawke and god within; writing, recording, engineering... did we get any credit for it? yeah "additional production by..." thanks, guys. please don't buy any hardkiss products. besides there's so much better stuff coming out of here now... you've got: - visible records (all you aphex heads will really get off on Seofon, and the recent planet six EP has some good trance on it) - young american primitive (now signed to geffen and gonna be a big superstar and dating madonna and all that) - freaky chakra (my buddy daum is a genius. i have a humble role in this album but buy it anyway) - single cell orchestra (dead vent 7 coming out soon on reflective will change the way you think about electronic music) - space time continuum (not my cuppa, but liked by lots of folks) - yours truly, as bass kittens... "kittens ripped my flesh" is a little too funky and strictly dancefloor for some but my new EP on mephisto (out in a few weeks) branches out a little further... - deluxe (jeff taylor, my ex-roommie and biz-partner... he did a HELL of a lot of work on the hardkiss EPs (mostly unacknowledged). i think his album "let the magic flow" is actually the closest thing to hardkiss music that SF has produced, and it's no surprise really. very smooth and pretty. i guarantee that if you like hawke and god within you'll like this one.) -- Name: Jon Email: jsd@cyborganic.com Web: http://cyborganic.com/~jsd
