About half of the DSN meets HIA collaboration is unbelievably amazing, leaving me in one of those mindless head-nodding techno stupors we all know and love. the remaining half is not bad, but the lack of any central melodic themes does become somewhat conscious. It's still a fantastic album though.... tracks like "psyphonic" and "ramp one" are ripping Detroitish wonders.... Sadly, Nettwerk Records, has put out a pretty duff compilation. They've totally latched onto this new major label techno craze, and their "Plastic Volume 1" comp. pulls together standards by Underworld and the Chemical Brothers. At least there's some nice chewable trance remixes of Garbage and Sarah McLachlan (care of Rabbit in the Moon) that makes the disc half decent. Poo poo to a label once notorious for signing innovative acts (Skinny Puppy, MC 900FT Jesus, Consolidated, etc.) but maybe they'll make it up to us and to a nice CanContent album of fresh electronica. onnow: tranquility bass (astralwerks) Lame Thread Prevention in Effect: Aaron Michelson --------------------------------------------------------------------- aw-teck'r (autechre) "Everything you Know is Wrong" For reviews, interviews, art & trash http://www.on-it.net/~aaron/ aaron@defiant.on-it.net

yes, a pathetic cash-grab, indeed. however, for proof of nettwerk's relevance to 1997, check out the "paradigm shift" compilation they are distributing. excellent mind bending idm from the cevin key/dwayne goettel extended family of insane noise makers.
