or is there a vintage NFB-feel to PBS? anyway, whilst not particularly IDM these days the old animationa nd sound was stellar, as was the song for Hinterland Who's Who. The NFB of Canada have been producing award winning shorts (quick, "Bermuda or swimming ?" joke goes here) for years and years and years. I recall reading somewhere that Mike & Marcus both lived in the prairies, i think in manitoba and saskatchewan (that's in canada, folks) while they were growing up, hence the influence. but then again, Aphex makes all of his own synths, right? ;] All this and more is probably easily found through Google... -- - Jeremy Axon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
