hi all,
just picked this up in a bargain-bin for 4UKP
(6USD), it came out on Talking Loud, what,
a year or two ago? Pretty interesting.. I guess
Nicolette got famous doing stuff like "Waking Up"
with the Shut Up and Dance guys.. her album
from about '91 with them was re-issued recently,
I think.
Anyway, for idm-relevance, Plaid produce 4 or
5 of the tracks on the album, and there's a 2nd remix
CD with a Plaid remix, as well as Krust and Roni
Size remixes. Production duties on the rest of the
album are shared between Dego (of 4 Hero fame)
and Alec Empire, and there's one great track
produced by some guy called Felix - anyone know
who this is?
Anyhow, thought this was worth mentioning 'cos it's
_very_ Bjork-ish and a little bit obscure, so some
list-members might not have picked up on it. Anyone
know if Nicolette has any new material coming out?
[Also, actually, wassup with Shut Up and Dance? A
friend saw them DJ recently in London and said they
were tiptop, and I believe I saw a major-label single
and even a video recently from them..]

ps - oh, a 4 Hero tidbit - their remixes of Scarface's
"I Seen A Man Die" or something similar, which I
found on the CD single from a year or two back,
are absolutely _amazing_ and well worth looking out.
pps - heard the new Warp/Rephlex material. Jones
single is, umm, interesting, the Cylob mixes make
it quite Soft Cell, as I think someone said. Squp's
"Maximum Priest" is reasonable, the remixes are
much more interesting, tho, and I especially love
the Luke Vibert remix, but this is from someone
who's a big Vibert fan - especially after the video for
"Lovely"! And the Cylob EP.. hmm, pretty useful,
stylish and all that, but now I'm addicted to his full-on
electro stylings after "Rewind", i want "Living in the 80s"
to come out NOW! Did anyone ascertain which
programme on the Rapture cablechannel in the UK
Cylob did the music to, btw? I caught the end of it
a few days ago but I still don't know when it's on
and what it is? :)
