hey there- well, got the Wired today and lo and behold, they reviewed SAW2: This double-CD set is being termed the best ambient offering to come from Aphex Twin by the people who know -- the DJs. The influence of ambient legen Brian Eno is apparent throughout. There are no inaapropriate samples to confuse, only thought-fully composed pieces to transport you. The tracks bear no names: they are in typical Aphex Twin style -- anonymous, allowing listeners to create their own titles. This interstellar voyage completes its acoustic mission by discovering previously unexplored environments and transmitting new environments. -Lisa Ferrara Well, i think she just read the press release that came with it. john ---- john sweeney jds@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu binary sound(imprints)

Next month's issue (2.08, the August issue, which isn't even near getting going to press yet) has a review of the new FSOL - nothing you haven't heard yet, but the author is on this list, so if he/she wants to post it, I promise not to tell :) Brian

And what does she mean by "There are no inappropriate samples to confuse...blah blah blah....", seems to me that this is another way to explain this whole thing is nebulous to her. _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/ surfing on sine wave
