How about scala's 1996 cover of "Heart of Glass" on BEAUTY NOWHERE?
I wish scala were still around. I got into them after being a fan of Locust
and Seefeel, but I think they broke up shortly after I discovered them.
Anyway, that "Heart of Glass" is a favorite tune I use to try and reel
potential IDM fans in, but it never works as well as I might want. Seems that
uninitiated folks are more likely to get into Boards of Canada or even Autechre
(BION) than Scala. Go figure.

Let's say it out loud: "Heart of Glass" may be one of the best songs ever-
up there with "Turn to Stone" by ELO, the Pink Floyd back catelogue, "London
Calling" by the Clash, and evrything on Fear of a Black Planet.
