^^^^^^^ Let me be the first to note that this must be an homage to Kraftwerk's 'Electric Cafe' LP.

Autechre: Booth/Brown B12: Golding/Rutter The AI comp booklet makes it pretty clear who's who. C. -- (chris.hilker) cspot@cats.ucsc.edu "u-ziq...non stop..."

I can't believe it's been a whole week and no one has really mentioned anything about the new Aphex Twin single. Someone posted the song titles, but this is an essential record. It doesn't really have a title, but the main song is "On", I guess. It has a beautiful piano melody until the unearthly drums kick in. "dscape" is also pretty ambient, with a harpsichord like melody. The other two songs "xepha" and "72yip" (or something like that- I don't have it in front of me) are more percussion oriented, but still good. If this is any indication of what the next album will be like we're in for a big treat. I forgot where I read it but the next album is supposed to be more coherent, since it has been created as a single piece rather than a bunch of songs thrown together like "Selected Ambient Works". The remix ep is also good. The "dscaap and 28" mixes are by Richard himself, I presume. The reload mix is really good. The u-ziq (u supposed to be the greek mu) remix, to me at least, sounds a lot like the original mix speeded up. I still prefer the original mix of "On", but the remix ep is also worth getting. Other opinions on this single? Does anyone have the u-ziq album "Tango and Vectif"? I've looked for it but can't find it. I'm wondering how good it is. All in all, this is one of the best Warp releases in recent memory. Speaking of Warp, the next artificial intelligence album comes from Autechre. They had that song "The Egg" on the first compilation. I meant to figure this out, but is Autechre B12 in disguise? In Mixmag a while back, they said the next AI album would be by Orteca. I don't know if anyone followed the "Orb remix/Aubrey mix" thing on the KLF/Orb list (and the mess that followed), but If you fool around with the pronunciation of these two words, they're the same. Oh well, wasted space. Jonathan eabu751@orion.oac.uci.edu

Incidently the u-ziq debut album on REPHLEX is out today! It is a classy selection indeed. (Both Richard and Grant think that this bloke is fully talented...). Watch out for future u-ziq stuff too... including a remix of the classic British advert Mummy's been to Iceland (foodstore)! Decent. Also coming out soon is the Underground resistance/Rephlex joint project...
