When can normal people expect to see this in stores?

I think it's best thing Mike's ever done...very fresh and mature. I'm proud of him.

If you're saying it's better than "Lunatic Harness", I may just bust a nut here and now.

I have to agree. I just got my copy this weekend & have only had the chance to listen to it once or twice but.... wow. I'll try and post a more detailed review after I let the album sink in. But basically, it seems that Mike's refined the crazy-beat-fuckery of Lunatic Harness into some more eloquent rather than just going nuts all the time. Take that and mix it with Mike's knack for melodies deployed with new textures/equipment (not much DX this time) and you've got a pretty damn good album. Great even. I think the press sheet said it'll be out sometime in July. But like I said, let me listen more and I'll try and report later. Howie On Mon, 3 May 1999 Oscillate@aol.com wrote:

who's putting the new paradinas out in america?

Astralwerks, July 27th. The more I listen, the more I like. He still can't think in anything other than 4/4 (plus an extra beat here or there) or four-bar melodies, but the fabric of sounds is becoming more complex, studied. jeff salamon wrote:

I am very doubtful that anything can come close to the brilliance of " tango and vectif " and " bluff limbo " classic IDM. bb. Howard Shih wrote:
