Subject:: (idm) Will "Mealtime" be released in the US?

Um. I remember reading the threads about the "Mealtime" sampler a bit ago, and was wondering if it was positively determined that the "Mealtime" compilation would be released in the US (on a US label) or not? I just want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing by waiting and not buying the European version now... emitlaem. ? .`-). | ; christopher miller o o' evil@digital.net = ' on: "Live P@" by ATOM HEART

I would wait anyway, it's not that great. It's alright, worth having I suppose, but not like "I need it right now" type of stuff. The tracks border on annoying drillnbass stuff, and the AFX is pretty weak, it doesn't sound anything like what he's been turning out lately, nor does it sound like older material. see ya Nate On Wed, 7 Jan 1998, Christopher Miller wrote:

i agree that there are a few tracks on this comp that make a good point that drillnbass as a genre has pretty much run it's course, but there are also a couple of pretty sweet tracks on here. i think the RDJ track surprisingly is the strongest track on the collection, an upbeat high steppin' orchestral number laid over wicked normal speed breaks. MP contributes one very weak UB style mix and a tasty mix of brace yourself. jega , elton fastbrooke and mould also make nice contributions. not essential, but if it ain't comin' out stateside, go ahead and get the hut UK import. np: riddimisriddim: kaotic harmony peeeeeeeece, Jeff Davis <pHlow> ____--~~~~~~vvvv~~~~ oooo812.831.7846 jjdavis@xnet.com____---- ( ( ( vvvv ~~~~~~ooooooooooooo ___----( ( \ \ \ \ \ vvv ooooooooooooooooooo ____---- ( \ \ \ \ \ \ \ http://www.xnet.com/~jjdavis/

I asked mike, and he said that Aphex only gave the rights for UK domestic releaseon his track..... so US release doesnt look likely. I dont know why he did this so dont flame me! Steve /k/./F/ http://freespace.virgin.net/kung.funk/kf.htm

i agree that there are a few tracks on this comp that make a good point that drillnbass as a genre has pretty much run it's course, but there are also a couple of pretty sweet tracks on here. <<< well considering steve kf mentioned the release was delayed 8 months, which i guess would mean it could've come out in the uk around march, it probably shows how rapidly drill'n'bass is evolving rather than the "run its course" outlook. i could do w/out most of the "big name" tracks on this one afx/plug/mikep, and overall i think "spunk jazz" was a much finer example of a drill'n'bass comp. despite the doomy (not a plus point imho) over-cary-grant-sampled atmosphere the ho(a)rse opera(tor) track on "spunk jazz" had some wicked shredding drum programs and was much better produced than the outing on "mealtime". ducking from (expected) flames i'd have to say that my fave track at the moment is by the much maligned animals on wheels, tho' its probably too sedate to be drill'n'bass - as is the afx track, followed by mould which also stands out by virtue of melody. its a pretty good comp, if you aren't looking at it as the ultimate state of the art in drill'n'bass. -martin
