You spotted the Link/Ferris Bueller quote - now for the big money, what is the intermittent sample at the end of Antacid? I don't know what the phrase is, except that the second bit says "it wouldn't stop". It's puzzling me - does this mean I should buy an anorak and a notepad? Rob.

There's a Plastikman track (probably my favorite from that alias) by that name, which is probably where the confusion comes from. -d.w.

A joke? I don't think so; this is a cut-up, hissy electro piece of excellence IMHO. Pretty minimal but quirky and lovable. || [CiM] || u9323899@sys.uea.ac.uk || http://www.sys.uea.ac.uk/~u9323899/

'pends on the definition of a joke. It was released by WARP as a bit of a piss-take, saying they had retrieved it from their 1990 archives and that it was by "an odd-bod from Leeds" who they almost signed up. Yeah right. Anyway that doesn't mean the music is a joke, far from it.. regards, _ _ __ __ __ __ ____ __ __ the ( `'`' / /. \ |. ) |. ) ( ( /_ _| /. ) |. ) \_/\_/ (__\_| |__\ |_| |__) /_| \___| |__\

Yep, I agree, it is very good. But I'm sure about the joke bit. In the press release it's meant to have said that Warp just happened to have found this record from 1990 and decided to put it out. In fact this was all a bit of a joke and it was by RDJ all along. -- __ _____ _____ _____ __| | | ___| | ___| | ___| "Life moves pretty fast.
