There were two versions of AI2, a single cd and a limited edition double cd version. Blipsalt is on the limited edition. Your best hope of finding a copy to buy would be second-hand, that's how I got mine. Bear in mind though, if you have the first one you have most of the best tracks already. Blipsalt is okay but it's not up to the standard of Soup IMO Ross. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Kearley" <d.kearley@home.com> To: "IDM List" <idm@hyperreal.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 7:51 PM Subject: [idm] Art Intell ][?

Actually, there are several versions of AI2, including the non-limited 1CD version, limited edition 2CD version, non-limited 2xLP and a limited 2xLP+12" (and perhaps MC version(s) as well). The extra 12" in the ltd vinyl version contains another Darrel Fitton track, ``Metalurg'' (on the first Bola EP on SKAM there is a track called ``Metalurg 2''). Curiously, all the other tracks have durations mentioned, but with this one, the label states ``there is no time''. A very curious track, too. Highly recommended for Fitton/Bola enthusiasts. The extra 12" has Kenny Larkin's ``Maritime'' on the other side, also found as the last track on the ltd 2xCD (with a ``hidden'' Scanner track (from ASH1.2, track 2 if memory serves) after it - the one where a man in procuring the services of a call girl). A more anal WarpOgraphy would be in order, Warp's site gives just the standard edition CD track listing (I think). Why doesn't Warp serve the markets they've created? :) As for ``Blipsalt'', I have always liked it and it really stands out with tracks like Link's ``Arcadian'' and Mark Franklin's ``Release To The System'' from AI2. Speedy J's ``Symmetry'' almost brings tears to my eyes, it is just s o d a m n beautiful. I received my copy of Team Doyobi's ``Puschairs for Grown Ups'' on Skam a few days ago, but it still hasn't grown on me. Sounds interesting, though, maybe with a few more listens I can appreciate it. Meanwhile, I'll just bang my head to the tune of Paul Mac's C-Sides output and the latest offering on Product (who runs Product anyway? The five releases this far have been just absolutely fantastic, though content-wise not much IDM :). What about the first release on Smak, is it out yet?
