Hello all,
Here's what I saw in the record store yesterday here in Japan, home of
Mr.Ken Ishii. (Note: I'm no K.I. expert, so sorry if it's all old news...)
----------------
Flare: Grip
This has been out for a while here, so it's not even in the New Releases
bin. There is already a remix album called "Re-Grip," containing remixes
by a random assortment of Japanese techno/pop/indie artists.

Ken Ishii: Circular Motion + Overlap
The Japanese label said "released ahead of the rest of the world," but this
was a month ago, so it may already be out near the rest of you folks?
Anyway, it's a CD containing the above two (new?) singles and their
remixes, and I just had to buy it because of 1) the cool glow-in-the-dark
anime cover art, and 2) the pretty darn impressive track list:
1. Circular Motion (Original Version)
2. " (Red Snapper Remix)
3. " (Patrick Pulsinger Remix)
4. " (Silver&Kash Remix)
5. Overlap (Original Version)
6. " (DJ Food Remix)
7. " (Dave Angel Remix)
8. " (Lemon D Remix)
Not bad, eh? Well, this was my first K.I. purchase, and since I'm a newbie
to IDM and was curious about all the above artists hotly discussed on this
list, it was more than worth the price of a single! I really liked the
Patrick Pulsinger one!! :)
Playing with the glow-in-the-dark cover,
Satoko
