I was just checking out the new NME reviews at SoundCellar (http://www.soundcellar.com) and saw a glowing review of "Like Weather" Never seen NME refer to anything Rephlex has put out lately as much more than a gimmick. So, is it that good? -i.

Yes! Leila goes off man, believe! /gnz. //http://www.rephlex.com /..

Opinions, please. How does the full length Leila compare with the "Space Love" ep - with which I'm pretty entranced. Vox /no vox....what? Is it all this well executed or should I skulk around waiting for more eps, remixes, etc.? On the strength of this, I'm prepared to buy 'em all - then again, it doesn't take a lot to get me to spend. This is pretty special though, imo. -- jeff "...with wandering steps and slow..." ICQ 904008

I think that 'Like Weather' is one of the best records released by RePHLeX. It takes a while to grow in, but with a few listen-tos it becomes a very coherent whole with still many surprises and delights to give on subsequent spins. Which brings me to the question of the singer named Luca - is he perhaps Luca Santucci, also appearing on As One's 'Planetary Folklore'? -- nuutti-iivari meril?inen -> gordon@diversion.org : diversion communications technostructuralist + information architect + media designer

Yes, he is. Check out 'Don't Fall Asleep' EP. It is written on the CD that 1st track is by Arab/Santucci (Leila Arab/Luca Santucci). bye rob
