I have to agree with brian r. and chris leitz, the most recent phthalo releases are etra goood just the other day i got caught up on the phthalo releases getting the robert merlak, 4mod3, and ost live cds in the mail. I definitely like the 4mod3 release best out of the lot - kit clayton can do no wrong in my book. But the merlak and ost cds are still very good too - robert's being an 11- track journey through electronica and experimental realms and the live ost being a percussive experimental outing. Speaking of OST, he just released a stunning cd on the Dial label called Fashion for Passion. It's a terrific 10-tracker of more subtle deep dark bassy experimental excursions that would appeal to fans of mego, raster, touch, and phthalo alike. There is also another new Dial cd called Marina that, i believe, is also produced by OST. I havent listened it enough yet to give a proper opinion though. I can recommend however that you pick both Dial releases up because they are both excellent and limited. -->-Lance--- mclance@nacs.net lance@inaudible.com p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
