As is the case with most accomplished artists, when they're on they're ON
and when they stink, plug your nose up. I'm enamored with WAP89X,
specifically, Draun Quarter, which tugs at those heartstrings with gentle
piano musings over a subtley funky rhythm. Of course I don't let it play
to the end w/out punching a backbone of blip and bass (think electrecord -
telefunken) upside it's heady structure. Mmmm nicely!

As for RDJ, I too quit the habit of leaping before I look. For me I just
feel like there's more ass kicking to be done then fun poking. I mean,
he's got the goods but shoots them all full of holes with superwanky
sounds of slide whistles and crap of that sort. I think he'd make some
killer kids albums for generation Z but we'd have to edit them down to a G
rating of course. I keep hoping he proves me wrong but in the mean time
there's gobs of good releases picking up where he left off and even moving
forward (aka dusted rich!)
Check my recent top tens ->

I think some 'old' school IDMers might be tickled to see a "thumpy" number
up there atop the list (hood-detroit:onecircle) but hey, live and learn.

Awwwww <snif snif> I think you need a tp.refresher course. In particular
I'm quite fond of my latest tape called "untitled 1/97" which features 2
cuts from the most underrated 2x12" of 1996, X-Asp on rephlex (MY GOD THE
UZIQ MIX THERE IS UNNNGGGHHHH!!!!), plus selected hott-cuts from 12"'s
you'll never see or hear because the guy only presses like 100 at a
time (think FERENC) and some flashbacks to gescom on source (motor1 ANY1?)
kao-tic harmony, science fiction, and TCM...ahh and the Voder. <chk chk>
;-)
Sincere apologies for letters/tapes never sent, after a good in person
visit from an old skool IDMer (hi phlowwww!) I've decided I'll try the
put-up-don't-shut-up thing once again and resubbed to this noisy room.
And I'm slowly getting orders filled and shipped w/regard to rorschach
tekniques.
Nose to the grindstone (yours SUCKA!)
