Two small questions : * One of you people has a full discography of GESCOM, I'm sure. Could you please mail it to me privately ? Were GESCOM 1 & 2 (on SKAM) re-released recently ? I going to extend my Autechre collection with the mail order only 12" soon, and I would like to get a hold of the GESCOM stuff too. Thanks ! * Would someone please mail me the email address of dave@Ear/rational ? Sadly enough I do not have full internet access, only mail ! Thanks again ! dv8

The first one has definitely been reissued, but I haven't seen the second one yet. Mind you, I already got it! But the first is much better. The third one, Skam7, has just been released, and is packaged in a nifty 12" bubblewrap slipcase. It's almost as good as the first one, with a wonderfully chunky b-side tune with some of the classic 'amber' style harping synth.

I can't understand how you could say "Mag" needs more "oomph", not in the way I understand the word anyway! Hip hop don't stop! (with uniquely autechre sounds rattling along gently in there too). However I can understand why people don't take to "Snackwitch" as it is a rather bizarre track with its cheezy news-bulletin stab and difficult lop-sided rhythm track. I suppose it's not an EP in the strict sense, though both tracks are fairly long.

Speaking of "Snackwitch", I was wondering if anybody happened to know what movie or TV show that nice grand horn/drum loop was sampled from. Every time I hear that song I have visions of Planet Of The Apes for some reason. Sorry if this has been answered here before, but this has been bugging me.

Yes, Gescom 1+2 were re-released and even sold in Virgin Megastores. Both re-releases have slightly different covers. The huge box of Gescom 1 (original release) wasn't brought back. Thaddi
