If you are new to IDM (hello newbie!) you should get this. If you have some/none/all of the tracks on it you should get this. The mixing is excellent; the mix between the unreleased Plaid track and one of the tracks off Ventolin (Blech Track 5)- wow! The main diff between this CD and the tape from earlier in the year is the use of the samples that are dropped in; they are much less intrusive (altho the conversation with the bomb has spurred me on to find a copy of Darkstar). Instead the CD has short bits of text read outloud by a Macintosh -> a new alternative to vocoding? (anythings better than that bloke out of Underworld ranting on, stuck on the same note- IMHO) In conclusion- essential (the packaging is 100x better than the mixtape- although in a similar style, and the inlay has an address for getting details of Designer's Republic merchandise plus a free A3 poster; smart!) BTW: dont play track 9 too loud or your neighbours will think strange things are afoot & probably call the poe-lease. -- Jameel Syed ______________________________________________________________________________ http://www-students.doc.ic.ac.uk:80/~jas5/ "it was an act of self hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise"

hi ho. sorry to waste space with a one-line or so request (alan don't yell at me), but i have reason for the first time to actually know what the track listing is for blechsdottir. usually, i just put it on and it's all one big happy mix, but i need to dissect it. i'm not hip enough to figure out the listing on the package although i can see that all the tracks are there, sort of. i looked at warpnet and hyperreal archives, but found no such track titles. if it's too much of a pain for the whole thing, i really really need to know tracks 10 through 13. thanks, ra

that's a cop-out. the packaging isn't that hard to figure out. if you *can't* figure it out for yourself, then what are you doing on the "intelligent" mailing list? just kidding of course. seriously though, you're not gonna find track listings for it on the warp site, and for anyone else to give it to you, *they* have to sit down and type out something that they've already figured out. it's much more fun to try and decipher the code. go ahead. give it a whirl! alan! __ :::::/\ \:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::/ \ \::::::you make the mistake::::::::::: :::/ /\ \ \:::::you judge a man by his race:::: ::/ / /\ \ \::::you go through life:::::::::::: :/ / /__\_\ \:::with egg on your face:::::::::: / / /________\::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: \/___________/::::::::::-beastie boys::::::::::
