Subject:: IDM in Tower Pulse

Picked up the December issue of Tower Records' free magazine Pulse, and the "imports" column is about the best "organic electronic" releases of the year. 'Weathered Well,' 'Innerelements', 'Tango n' Vectif,' 'Alien Community,' and 'Implant' each rate a paragraph's worth of copy. They all received five stars from the reviewer (Paul Ashby), except Mu-Ziq, who got four, and Eat Static, who went unrated. Nice to see some of my favorites getting mainstream US press. The same issue has a piece on Portishead, BTW. C. -- (Chris.Hilker) cspot@hyperreal.com

i like to pretend i'm stealing it. but of course it's free. a good read. there is a section in there called the PEER pilotage program. i know of at least one IDMer that submitted an entry. i of course didn't get selected, but i WAS a bit uncomprimising on my wish list... (Read: Q-chastic - soit pp 7") they sent me some crap CD and a photocopied thank you. bollocks. and now i find out they're making all my favorites mainstream ;) double drat Teep on now: kala - ishi (bless you!)

Number 19 responds: Out here in Nashville, Tower has the game. There's one indie record shoppe, which I try to buy as much as I can from, but most times what I want can only be had through Tower. I mail order a whole bunch -- what I cannot buy locally -- but there ain't nothin' like the physical act of digging through the crates, searching for vinyl. I got real spoiled when I lived out in Austin, where you got yer Waterloo, Sound Exchange (right down the Drag from Tower), et al. and a shitload of incredible resale shoppes too. The selections available at Tower have grown wider, but the underground stuff will always be _the_ stuff. Keeping up with what the folks out here have to say reminds me how much cool music there is being made today. Peace, 19.
