finally someone mentions this. one of the best releases, well, ever IMHO, not to mention Ni Go Snix, which is equally as good. the remixes on N.G.S. are great (u-ziq/like a tim) which leads me to ask, what other Like a Tim stuff is as good as this? Somone posted that they were happy this person/group finally was signed to rephlex...i listened to a Like a Tim remix ep in the used bin at a local store awhile back, i think it was on rephlex, i found it kinda boring and so/so. Does LAT have any original(non rmx) work? other rmxs that are as good as NGS? thanks andy

The Autechre releases have been noticibaly absent also. Hmmmmm...... Chiastic slide wasn't one of my favourites for the year, however I thought they would do much better. We'll see when the final poll comes out. freshie Paranoia: The choice of a Tech Generation http://silly.com/~tang

as a work, chiastic slide had some tracks that seemed really lame. Envane was much tighter, as was Chicli Suite.

Arg... now *that* is a tough one... amongst the great demos I've heard this year... chris graves plod - backgammon pacman's demos (this year?) aware (don't believe this is a listmember) solenoid and of course, *THE* demo of the year, hands down... THE BLACK DOG and these are just the one's i listened to this weekend... i've got a pile of them... our idm review archiver brian b even has at least a few very cool tunes sitting about, probably much more than i know about... speaking of the black dog demo... if i was supposed to dub this for you and you don't have this yet and haven't heard from me, *please* send me a mail (except James and Ian (sorry, just read your mail from something like last week)) I know there's a few that have them coming, but if theres more who haven't received get in touch cause I'm on a taping marathon!
