(Acidwarp blab is re a thread on ambient@hyperreal. I felt compelled to
add something ontopic and then felt like I should send it to idm as well.
Sorry if this irritates anyone.)
Just wanted to say: If anyone needs this file (acidwarp) by way of mail, I
keep it on red alert at all times. As an added bonus, if you mail me
with 'sendacidwarp' in the subject line, I won't lose your message. :)
btw, I have v 4.06, or 40.6, or something. Is this current?
I CARE BECAUSE YOU DO
---------------------
Wonderful album, almost every bit as nice as SAW2 and honestly not all
that much more unfriendly or ugly. Mr. James' sound creation and dance
esthetic aside, the man is bvlazing trails *musically*. There are songs
on here that could be performed on a piano or by a small ensemble and
would still be brilliant. Rhythmically, I must admit that more and more
often I cannot keep track of the bastard. Nevertheless, this album, along
with its companion singles, is sooper funky. It seriously rocks in ways
that were up until alien to me. I don't remember the last time I thought
a great album was this damned weird--the last time I was completely taken
aback so many times in the space of one record, and yes, I am a hopeless
audax fiend. I think SAW2 is the best album of last year and the best
ambient *ever*. What's on this album wouldn't be my cup of tea, actually,
if it weren't do godawful damned GOOD. One of many reasons why, despite
Evolution, Warp is the coolest record label in the history of the world.
And this is the best idm at least since Virtual State if not since
Orbital 2 or even Bytes. Highest recommendation.

ps - The artwork is horrifying. Maybe he's a genius there too but I can't
make myself look at it long enough to tell for certain.
pps - Yes, that is the Brady Cabal you're hearing.
ppps - Is that a rooster on track eight??
