For some reason, I am only now getting around to listening to Solar X and I feel so stupid for waiting. I remember some IDM folks in the '98 suggesting "Little Pretty Automatic" and it slipped my mind literally until '03. What a mistake! "Dasha 1,2,3,4" ("Richard?"....*klank* "Yeh?")makes me suddenly very nostalgic for the '96-'98 heyday of so many good releases (RDJ album, Lunatic Harness, Hard Normal Daddy, etc.). You don't really hear much stuff that's more straight-forward now that everybody rides DSP like the 25 cent rides in front of Wal-Mart and gets off on the sextuplet glitches in 12/8 time. I don't know- maybe I'm just getting too maudlin. Anyway, for the real question. I am seeing some Solar X material from 1995 and given the fact that it sounds *exactly* like stuff off of the RDJ Lp, I wonder who staked the skittery, monosynth melody claim of the late nineties? There's not much on the net. Later all Counts __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
