I forced myself to listen to it past the first complete listen, hoping to find something else. alas, I found nothing but a shallow piece of work outside of the actual concept. Solaris on the other hand Is an absolute fucking masterpiece in every way and one of my favorite films of all time. the criterion version is worth every penny and I suggest you give it another chance after reading some more insight as to what Tarkovsky and Lem were trying to say with their versions of this mindblowing book/film.

here I partially agree, it's mostly decent stuff for what they're trying to achieve, this work in particular I felt was an afterthought past the liner notes.

dude, tarkowski and lem wanted to say completely different things. that's why Lem was mad when he saw the way his book was about to be used for other purposes than its own. anyway, this is strongly off-topic. kiya iamacopier babzani wrote:

did you not read what I wrote? I clipped it for you below so you can reread it. notice the word "versions"? I fully understand the difference in what Lem meant by writing the book the way he did, Tarkovsky took Solaris expanded on it in a direction that Lem didn't agree with, that's why Lem raised such a stink about it. He couldn't handle seeing his own work being twisted for a film. Regardless, both of their versions are amazing in their own way. :) -kiya

actually, if you go to Aquarius Records in san francisco.. there is a 4"x 6" picture of drew behind the counter. he's naked. with the exception of a plastic fish with a hole in the top, and his genitals are stuffed into the plastic fish. it's so the fish catches all his sweat as he's dancing at the gay club he used to dance at for money. :) -kiya --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Ah yes. Vice magazine has a copy of this picture in one of their online articles (search for "Matmos' teabagging days"). Don't ask me how I know this. Anyway, the pics in BUTT are of DD and MCS giving the full monty in their hotel room sometime around the endstages of A Civil War. The interview is more interesting (honestly), but you can't pass up the puerile amusement of seeing (idm) celebrities naked. tappity-tap, Luis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I'm Nea; Stephenson's buttboy. That being said, I'm having a tough go with his latest series. Can't wait to see what he does next, though. -- The best show killed by Cartoon Network/Adult Swim: Home Movies. Season 1, Out on DVD - November 16th. http://homemovies.toonzone.net/DVD.html (Entertainment Weekly endorsed it after it was canceled - what does that tell you?) If he knows how the world works, how come he's done such an awful job?

Never could get into Gibson (but then I've only read 1.6 Gibson books, perhaps I should give him another shot someday) ...or "cyberpunk" in general. Always seemed too faddish, more style than substance - I mean, it always seemed too disconnected from possible reality, more tech-fantasy than sci-fi. But then sci-fi and fantasy are pretty much one and the same, really. Speaking of which, The closest I've come to enjoying cyberpunk was China Mieville's _Perdido Street Station_, which I know isn't really cyberpunk - if anything it's "steampunk", but I wanted to mention it because it's a beautiful book. Does anyone know if his "sequel" books "The Scar" and "Iron Council" are similar at all, or "as good"? I suppose "cyberpunk" is the IDM fiction style - comes to mind when thinking of early Warp (B12, early Autechre...) But don't real hackers only rave? :P -adam piontek n3wjack wrote:

"normal" for alternative and rare vinyl & CDs, THE indie shop in a classical way, nice atmopshear "paralell" strictly vinyl, strictly EVERYTHING in vinyl used or new. soundtracks, electronics, a lot of folk, jazz, chanson, gothic, breakbeat you name it.. "saturn" (get out at U-bahnstation: "hansaring" you won´t miss it) .. the wicked empire. its not PC to buy there but nobody can resist the choice in CDs. biggest jazz floor I have seen, was formerly known 2 be the biggest record shop in the world but I guess they have been beaten. buy the easy stuff there. also very cool for movies (DVD).

that´ll be wicked i forgot: "formic" is closed unfortunately but still featured on the list.. but it was kind of very idealistic shop anyways.. they had focused on rare US electro, breakdance, electric boogie-stuff... you could find every record of U.S. electro history there.. . also rare detroit / chicago techno stuff.. morgan geist, dan curtin etc.. its a pity that is gone now. apropos electro-boogie: not much ppl in the states now that THE JONZUN CREW had a huge charts entry in germany, actually it got no.1 in germany back in the 80ies.. with "PACK JAM".... can u believe it? :) .. it was all because it was the title music of the one and only music-clip TV magazine back then

You should try Neal Stephenson's Snowcrash, possibly very prescient stuff. Its successor, The Diamond Age focuses on nanotechnology, also pretty fascinating and perhaps better aligned to your predilection for steampunk. I found Cryptonomicon a bit disappointing. Bob Humid wrote:

I'd suggest going back to HG Wells, Mary Shelley, Gustav Meyrink and Jules Verne in terms of precedent. And Wiliam S. Burroughs and J.G. Ballard of course. Tim Walters wrote:

I've always found Sterling disappointing though I haven't read Schismatrix. My own recommendations: Jorge Luis Borges - anything, but particularly the collection called Labyrinths, not sci-fi, but what the heck, deals with the infinite Thomas Pynchon - has to be Gravity's Rainbow really. Samuel R. Delaney - dhalgren, don't know where to start, just read it. Jeff Noon - the earlier ones, particularly Vurt and Pollen. Donald Barthelme - again not really sci-fi, but freaky enough to include.

Thing is, if you go back and read Stephenson's books, he's eerily prescient throughout. This is hardly the first time he's called the future. -- The best show killed by Cartoon Network/Adult Swim: Home Movies.

I'm no Bush-lover, but apparently you've never worn rubber hearing protection. The two pictures of Bush with orange plastic cords and blue rubber earplugs are just that, earplugs. I wore the exact same pair tonight at my job, in fact (I'm a forklift operator at a factory). From the look of the pictures, Bush was doing a photo-op... I mean, appeared to be using a chainsaw, thus the earplugs. However, the other picture with the bulge in it is very intriguing and gives further evidence that the President was wired during the debates.

I've just got the System Of The World, and very psyched to read it, but i need to finish David Foster Wallaces' Infinite Jest first which is an enormous tome also, completely annotated with oodles of digressions and oddities. Absolute genius. I've been at it for about two months now and enjoying it immensely. Even more off-topic - anyone read the new Neil Gaiman marvel comic '1602'? Like a re-invention of the marvel universe set in 1602 with Dr Strange a court physician to the Queen of England and Nick Fury head of security, with this whole doomsday thing going on. more genius! thor -----------------------------------------------------------------------| Highpoint Lowlife Records http://www.highpointlowlife.com/ bitmapped indie-electronic goodness since '01 ------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------| On Wed, 20 Oct 2004, andrew jones wrote:

And to top it all off, here's an article from Neil Stephenson in which he mentions Neil Gaiman, and which is generally interesting reading IMHO: http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/20/1518217 Still haven't gotten around to read Cryptonomicon yet, but I loved Snow Crash and The Diamond Age; also, if you like Neil Gaiman, get "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett - it's not really Science Fiction, but it's a laughing riot. As for Science Fiction, I like Greg Bear quite a bit - Queen Of Angels, Moving Mars and Darwin's Radio are very, very good reads. -- Kurt Bernhard Pruenner --- Haendelstrasse 17 --- 4020 Linz --- Austria .......It might be written "Mindfuck", but it's spelt "L-A-I-N"....... np: Reinhard Voigt - Robson Ponte (Wassermann Remix) (Kompakt 100 (Disc 1)) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
