Wondering: Might Yamataka Eye, of the Boredoms/etc., have any full length idm-esque releases out? Seems odd, but the remix he did of Flare and the track he co-wrote with Shinro Ohtake on _Valis 2_ are both very neat... a full outing of this type work would be very worthwhile. Perhaps? --- Peace Hugs and Unity Jason J. Tar W. W. J. D? (What would Jason Do?) http://pilot.msu.edu/user/tarjason

Well, while I wouldn't call it idm, but possibly as close as Eye might get to it, check out Eye & Ohtake's Puzzle Punks incarnation, specifically their recent "Budub" CD (Time Bomb - Japan, 1996). Avaialble from Bent Crayon, Forced Exposure, Vinyl Ink etc. Electronic bleepery, drone & other sonic weirdness, some of it reminiscent of Ohtake's early 19/Juke material as well as various old-school industrial noodlings. The track on Valis II was taken from the other Puzzle Punks CD, "Pipeline: 24 Smash Hits By 24 Puzzle Punk Bands" on UCA. Though less idm-related than "Budub", this is also worth checking out if you can find it. It was limited and quite expensive (Jap import), and it comes with a huge 60+ page color tour diary (in Japanese) by Eye that includes much of Ohtake's artwork including the Valis II sleeves. I got mine from BC, so you could check if John can still get this ... Eye was also involved with Japanese hip-hop wierdo's Audio Sports at one point, and I have heard he occasionally DJs at clubs where he's been known to spin and mix various techno oddities. He also recently did a few techno- ish remixes for various artists, some of which (as you mentioned above) have been released, some have not. -Patrick np: K2 - "The Rust"
