I'm planning on ordering the new Aphex single from Warp and I was thinking about ordering a Planet Mu release or two with it. I was hoping I could get a few recommendations for the best Mu release from the list. thanks in advance --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Sound of Planet Mu is usually more experimental / less melodic. -- Best regards, Nick mailto:ambi@mu.ru --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Personal choices would be Leafcutter John's "Microcontact" and Slag Boom Van Loom's "So Soon" remix CD...some very strong remixes on that.

I think the best stuff on P-Mu (in order of my preference) are: Capitol K - Sounds of the Empire Jega - Spectrum Capitol K - Island Row Jega - Geometry Slag Boom Van Loon - Slag Boom Van Loon [but you can't order this at WarpMart right now, so nevermind] Joseph Nothing - Dummy Variations Kid Spatula - Full Sunken Breaks Slag Boom Van Loon - So Soon And that's about it for me. Horse Opera's "3 cornered room" is ok, but mostly boring. I reckon Leafcutter John's "Concourse EEP" is pretty good, as is Electric Company's "Slow Food", but neither of them are exactly up my alley (I'm getting too old). The rest (Phthalo, Venetian, Hellfish, & Leafcutter's second release) are *really* not up my alley (I'm really getting too old...). -Adam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm really fond these days of Venetian Snares "Songs about my Cats." Matt, my record store IDM fanboy friend described it as 'a more chaotic Squarepusher mixed up with Ornette Coleman.' This is apt, and not just because of the free jazz saxaphone on 'Pouncelot'. Throughout there's a sense of real expressive abandon to it. The closest analog would be early Kid606 and 'Feed Me Wierd Things' Squarepusher, but he's not as arch as the former, and somehow looser (in the best sense) than the latter. What's refreshing about it too is that he really doesn't seem contaminated by the bloodyminded cynicisim that seems a big part of Squarepusher. He's not trying to take the piss out of anyone -- he's just writing tracks about his cats. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Square-pusher's cynicism ? It doesn't show through on any of his releases or in the interviews I've read with him. Rob ::::::Component Records::::::: Box 783, Somers, Ct 06071 www.componentrecords.com

I don't think he's cynical about his own music -- he really seems to work pretty hard at it. I do think he's pretty cynical about everybody else. Not necessary a bad thing. I mean 'Red Hot Car' totally takes the piss out of the nouveau riche ostentation of the 2-step scene in the UK.
