Ain't that the truth... OnNow: Public Enemy, _It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back_. Seriously, don't any of you listen to anything but dance and ambient? Or are we all telling little fibs about what we're listening to? Jesse

Oh, as well as a load of techno/IDM, I listened to Warren G & Nate Dogg "Regulate" (single) last night, also Beastie Boys "Sure Shot" EP having bought it yesterday for 50p. Great fun. But I wouldn't normally post a review or recommendation of it to the IDM list, simply because its not what we're supposed to be here to talk about J ^ James Skilton aka Steady J - jamess@firefox.co.uk

Fair enough. I was just wondering if everybody put on idm to read idm-list :) OnNow: Mu-ziq, _Tango 'n' Vectif_. Almost out of here for the night. Jesse

Well, I think some of us try to stick to the IDM format when we're on the list, and mention other genres on other lists. :) FWIW, _It Takes a Nation_ is brilliant; Terminator X is one of the best sonic constructionists out there! Believe the hype. OnNow: Ultramarine's _Every Man and Woman is a Star_. OnLastNight: _Never Mind the Bollocks_.

Why isn't he credited as a producer on Nation of Millions, then? I always wonder when people mention him and not the Bomb Squad. C. -- (Chris.Hilker) cspot@hyperreal.com

you got it right chris... bomb squad are the ones responsible for the loops/beats/layering/programming. and good on them, say i. i used to buy anything with their name on it. if you can, find the SON OF BAZERK lp. now that's what *i* call IDM... funkiest shit this side of kool and the gang. -- Name: Jon Email: jsd@cyborganic.com Web: http://cyborganic.com/~jsd

I think that Curtins most accessible/DJ-friendly stuff was on that Apogee 12" that he done for Peacefrog. 4/4 beats and 303s dominate, but that innovative spark is still there... anyway "Voices From Another Age" is still one of my favourite Curtin efforts. I love the way he refuses to stick with the same theme all the way through a track - riffs, chord sequences and beats change so by the end you wouldnt think it was the same track you'd started listening to...

Damn! Another record of mine loses its trainspotter cred... :) This is the sort of record my friends hate (but they can only just handle the Jam & Spoon LP). Love dropping this in a set, and totally doing peoples heads in...! Brendan Nelson Lost Transmission From Southall OnNow: Spoonie Gee: Spoonin' Rap (we hear ya Jesse)

Actually, i think this may NOT be the teste folx though i may be wrong. As far as i know the only thing they have in common is that the plasmalamp people are from burlington which is the same area the teste folx live. I'm basing this on what my friend in hamilton told me and some fellows in this local noise band who also gave me the same info. Of course it could be completely wrong! BTW-is this a reissue of the red vinyl pressing from plasmalamp? There's absolutely no info on my copy except that it says (in hand writing) on the outer sleeve 'plasmalamp'. karl
