it's a wonderful album, one of the few techno records that made their way outside the techno community. would be better without the "changes of live" track. it might sound boring because it uses the same motifs all through the record. the effect of this is such though that some people have likened it to a novel. in other words, it's an album, not a mere compilation of tracks. play this on good equipment. the first two tracks alone are worth the purchase. pete ashdown has done the definitive review, available at t.s.e. on fri, 27 may 94 18:58:23 est, Sho Kuwamoto <sho@physics.purdue.edu> asked:

yup. i might. let's see... maybe i'll do this together with wt vol 3, which is due any minute (don't know exactly when, maybe it's even out already), and which is again by jeff mills. vol 2 was by rob wood. now i ask: the previous discussion gave the impression that x-103 was by jeff mills *alone*. is this really true? i thought it was by him, rob wood, and i believe yet another guy. can anyone give a definite line-up for x-101, x-102 and x-103? peace, p.

I've never been able to get a straight answer for this, unfortunately. I have the address for Axis Records downtown; maybe I'll send them a letter. :) The only clue I've ever gotten about who was behind X-103 was a review (in Option, I think) that mentioned that Jeff Mills had spent months researching the myths of Atlantis before recording it. No songwriting or production credits on the recording, of course :(. Rob Wood = Rob Noiz Mike Banks = Mad Mike right?

As Sho mentioned, X-101 is credited to Underground Resistance, which Mills was still a member of as of when X-101 was released. X-102 is on UR as well, but since the UR/Mills split was amiable it's tough to say exactly who's done what. The only certain thing is that Mills has been involved in all the "x" releases. | Dave Walker, Detroit Art Services (DAS) -- marmoset@msen.com | | | | Without chemicals, life itself would be impossible. |
