Just got back from a few hours of listening to new releases. We hardly
hear mention of the following two, so I thought
I would offer my suggestions to the list:
First, I know we do not talk about FAX releases much here, but the new
REDEYE is incredible. Sounds a bit like FSOL, but not so blurpy
sounding. Lots of great spacey sounds but with structures of hip hop
tunes on some of the tracks. It is a well deserved listen.
Second, ATOM HEART'S _MONO TM_. It AH's version of electro. Cover art even
has the graffiti wall to go with it. First track, _Welcome to Planet
Knowledge_ is full of 808 beats, old scholl scratches, and has a wonderful
sample saying "welcome to planet knowledge" which brings back memories of
Newcleus's _Jam On It_ Can you say "wikki wikki wikki?"
I was disappointed with KM20 (deep Space Network live), but I loved seeing
the SCI prophet 600 in the photo, the best synth I own.
I will hold off from the Mike and Rich discussion, but I didn't buy it if
that says anything. I will let you guys do battle on that one.
Third, any of you heard the comp ATOMIC WEIGHT, I never heard of any of
the artists, what do any of you know about it?

ps to all you FAX fans, I have friend who is selling a bunch of FAX. Here
are just some of the titles
-SYN
-OTRAS
-COMPILATION 1
-GATE & SOL
-DELLTRAXX
-KOOLER
-ESCAPE
-PSYCHONAVIGATION
... and many others. Prices range between $13-20something. He thinks they
are that valuable, especially all the old ones from 94 with the yellow
cirles, such as Deltrax.
