I think, in reading my original post, that I jumped the gun a bit. let me go back and requalify a bit of what I said (since I really _can't_ speak much about photek, having only a minimal knowledge of his body of work).

this may very well be true, although in my opinion, that would be precisely the reason to want to get dropped from virgin (if they don't want him expressing himself creatively). however, I was under the impression that this was on astralwerks?

(...) absolutely, in total agreement here.
quoted 4 lines "terminus" and "junk" are forgettable down beat/trip> > "terminus" and "junk" are forgettable down beat/trip > > hop pieces. > > Terminus and DNA are really good tunes.
yes, that criticism was too harsh. I'll give them another listen. also, you disliked the two acid house tunes, which have actually begun to grow on me. YMMV

on this topic, can anyone recommend some essential photek to purchase? g. - gweinstock@hws.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
