I suppose you mean X-103: Atlantis. There's some 12" out too, i didn't buy them (and i didn't buy X-101) after listening to them in the store. I'd say the 12"s (at least what i've listened to) are a bit too "commersial rave" (sorry about the term, can't think of anything better) for my taste. Atlantis and Rings of Saturn are good, though. . . but the songs on Saturn are too short! And the only long song on that album is the most "commersial rave" song on the album. :( The other tunes are in "let's torture these synths more" vs "let's see how far this surf of ambience will carry us" style. Eat your heart out RDJ. Funny thing with Saturn is that the tracks have blank spaces between them, so the vinyl looks like the rings of Saturn. . . On Atlantis, here's no space at all between the tracks, which makes them kinda hard to find if you're dj'ing. imo, X-102 and X-103 are not quite as good as Nocturbulous behavior and Drexciya 2, but they're well worth buying. (If you don't have the latter two, and you like X-102 and X-103. . . well, go get 'em!) -- Petter Karlstrom cl2pkarl@cling.gu.se . . .Know Your Self. . .
