What's an "MPEG disc"? Some new format I haven't heard of? Like a
mini-disc but holds 10 times as much? DVD format? I haven't heard of a
standardized format for a disc that contains MPEG-ized audio data before ...
Nice to see that Tom is still alive and well. In the Know Your History dept.,
I'd require everyone to give a gander to his early albums "Since The Accident"
(1984) and "City Slab Horror" (1985). Two of the most amazingly sonically
crafted electronic albums ever made. I can't even begin to describe how
amazing these records were, other than to say that with a pair of headphones,
a box of Nitrous whippets and the volume up high, they will change your life.
(-:
One thing Tom has over the current crop of Electronica artists: He can actually
come up with good album/song titles. Mike P. may have some whacky ones of his
own, but I haven't seen any recent Techno artist come anywhere near titles
like "... Now an Explosive New Movie", "Acme Instant Dehydrated Boulder Kit",
"The Ant Can See Legs", "Gnashing The Old Mae West", etc. Everybody else is
just an amateur compared to Tom Ellard.
