the idea of Virgin doing a "post-rock" comp is truly bizarre. who's on it?

Millions Now Living is for couched Tortoise fans only...the Gamera 12"
is by far their best effort and while not by any means dance music,
intelligent or dull, puts a nice twist on the assembly of a rock song.
Their track on Macro Dub Infection, "Goriri" is a remix of Gamera which I
find quite tasty.
their
first
remix lp has some nice stuff but is outta print for legal reasons and new
12"'s Tortoise vs. Oval and Tortoise vs. U.N.K.L.E. are worth a listen.
the first is especially good, methinks, as it is correctly Oval vs.
Toroise vs. Oval...Oval is sampled heavily in the original mix. The
paul.
