Actually, there's lots... it's especially popular among Detroit-affiliated artists -- Jeff Mills is a particular fan of them. Check out his _Cycle 30_ and _Growth_ EP's, for example. There's also a couple of the X-10n records from the UR days. As someone else already brought up, Canada's Legion of Green Men are lock-groove enthusiasts as well, and the aforementioned locked grooves on the Ectomorph record kick all kinds o' butt. And wasn't there one on that first Jedi Knights EP? I know I'm blanking on some other pretty prominent releases, but IDM lock grooves aren't as rare as you might think. As I understand, the reason you don't see more of them is that the mastering house has to be pretty competent to pull it off. ----------------------------------------------------------------- dave walker, detroit art services marmoset@conch.aa.msen.com phat phorest phires <A HREF="http://www.msen.com/~marmoset/">Dave Walker</A>
