just some quick reviews about stuff that's probably been posted before.
got my copy of 'high scores' today and i must say that i'm pretty damn
pleased with this CD. (and very glad that it's actually available on
CD) don't know if i'd pay $250 for it, but it's pretty sweet
nonetheless. (much more 'electro' than i expected)
also picked up this CD called MIMEO. (Music in Movement Electronic
Orchestra)
for those interested in the whole vienna / mego / noise burst / timbral
tweaking category, i think you'd enjoy this album quite a bit.

yes, it's an impressive line-up.
oh yeah, it's mastered by marcus schmickler and thomas lehn if that's of
importance to anyone...
i'm not going to type all the liner notes because i'm feeling lazy at
the moment. (very long day at the university)
for lack of a better description it's an electronic ensemble utilizing a
wide range of sounds / sources with a shitload (obviously) of
processing. (recorded at different locations and different times; edited
for release..)
recommended. (and it's only $13.99)
mr. joshua reuven, if you're reading this please send me your email
address. (got your message, don't have your addie...)
Fruit is tasty in the morning. (that's all i have to say about fruit)
