It is a must. It might show up on Sonic Bubblegum. Then again, it might not.

I like the single a lot better than the whole album.

Haven't heard it, can't comment.

I wouldn't say that all their stuff is a must. That way, someone on the list might randomly pick 'Electric Cafe' or 'Radio-Activity,' neither of which really made a huge impact. All of 'The Man-Machine,' 'Trans-Europe Express,' and 'Computer World' are absolute hust-haves, though. The rest of their albums range from fair to great. I've been thinking of writing up reviews for all of their albums that have come out on CD, if there's interest I could do it this week.

As long as we're on the subject of older stuff relevant to today's IDM, how about the following: Art of Noise - Daft ('84, ZTT UK: ZCID Q2) 16 tracks, 1:01:21 Brian Eno - Ambient 4: On Land ('82, Editions EG US: EEGCD 20) 8 tracks, 0:44:34 Keith LeBlanc - Major Malfunction ('86, Southern UK: EFA CD 26-07952) 2 tracks, 0:33:01 Tangerine Dream - Poland (2 discs, '84, Relativity US: 88561-8045-2) 5 tracks, 1:21:51 Various - Relics: A Transmat Compilation ('92, Transmat/Buzz BE: BZZCD 106106) 27 tracks, 1:20:00 C. -- (Chris.Hilker) cspot@netcom.com
