I just found a copy of a promotional disc containing 11 tracks by a certain Ponga. Lots of experimental and funky jazz-electronics on here as well as abstract drum and bass, ambience and very smooth breaks in (almost) every tune. The sticker on the front says that there are remixes by Amon Tobin, Spacetime Continuum, Capsule 150 and Fila Brazillia without mention of the original artist(s) involved. There's no front or back sleeve or an indication of the label either. If you have an idea of who/what this is, what label it's on, and a tracklisting, please let me know. Thanks! Pietro. ___________________________________________ p i e t r o d a s a c c o a u d i o - n i m b u s 9745 lynngrove cr, windsor, ontario, n8r 1b8, canada http://www.groovesmag.com grooves experimental electronics music mag --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Ponga is Wayne Horvitz (Keys), Dave Palmer (Keys), Bobby Previte (Drums), and Skerik (sax, samples). The remix cd you are talking about and their self-titled first album are both on loosegroove records. If you like this stuff, you might wanna check out some Critters Buggin (Skerik's band). They have a similar sound even on their new album, "Amoeba", which is a big departure from the older stuff in that it is very ambient the whole way through. -Aaron On Sun, 19 Dec 1999, p i e t r o wrote:
