really? wow. props to the canadians. i feel the wells/newman powerhouse to be one of the most underrated in the history electronic music. necessary recordings: greater than one : _all the masters licked me_ (1987; side effects records (deleted, sorry)) _duty and trust_ (1991; ROIR) tricky disco : whatever you can find: it's all real old and deleted. GTO : _tip of the iceberg_ (1993; react) _data-trax volume 1_ & _...volume 2_ (1994/1995; react) _kardiophunk and the seventh wave_ (1996; react) technohead : whatever you can find; they're all deleted. john + julie : _red alert_ (1993; dataflow; deleted) TD5 : whatever you can find; they're all deleted. also, not newman/wells, but there's signs ov chaos. it's what michael wells did after lee newman passed on. my picks: _frankenscience (urban cyberphunk)_ (1996; earache) _scanner v signs ov chaos_ (1997; earache) is pretty good, too. half is scanner remixed by signs ov chaos; the other half the other way around. so if you're unsure about buying it, look at it this way: it's half scanner, too (another artist really worth your time and effort). now, i'm sure we'll get some people saying that the newman/wells in the '90's got really silly on the techno tip. well, i say, so? it's well done and damned fun. i'm willing to admit i like some crap raver techno of the early '90's. maybe it's the memories; i don't know. but these two were really good. buy what you can: practiucally all has been deleted. * #### a disturbance in a system. #### laerm. @voicenet.com #### we decide what's wrong or right, we'd rather lose than fight/we're going down/without us you don't get no kicks, without us you do not exist/we are going down
