As far as I'm aware, the lexaunculpt collab tracks were never released officially. I believe most people ahve them from ec's mp3.com site. they were called ecolex1 and ecolex2. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dr. Gozra Von Peebles" <gozravp@yahoo.com> To: <idm@hyperreal.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 6:07 PM Subject: [idm] Electric Company Statement

If you're into exitos (my favorite elco), you should definitely check his Greatest Hits, as most of those remixes are based from that. It's like hazy flashbacks to an already very cerebral album. 62-56 hasn't done much for me yet. maybe i'll come around. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

his 'ne_' as great as _ell [oh, god, the "double-u" is broken on this kbd. I hate this university. _hat _ould you do _ith a _easel? Any_ay, 'ne_'took some of his ideas and cut them do_n to one minute each. Good and bad ideas, i my opinion, but the last track in that release [15] is just beautiful *electronic composition* to the core. Kind of reminds me of some of Paul Lansky's _ork. I'd love to hear an entire album in this direction. Speaking of him, you should check out Paul Lansky - notjustmoreidlechatter It _as done in 1988. He is a professor at Princeton University and does some interesting _ork to say the least. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
