While we're on the subject of Tortoise... does anyone know why their first
remix lp (Rhythms, Resolutions, and Clusters) is out of print? I mean are
they trying to encourage the trainspotter/collector mentality or are there
copyright issues involved? I recall seeing some of the titles on a
Japanese cd but don't exactly feel like paying $30+ for it.
The pisser is I vividly remember seeing this album in the bins a year or
two ago _before_ I got into them.
