for those playing along at home, here is the track listing for the
Tranquility Bass double pack:
ED-012 Cantamilla (original)
Mya Yadana (kin kin)
Cantamilla (broadcast standard)
They Came In Peace (sea of tranquility)
ED-013 Cantamilla (bomb pop)
Cantamilla (ski room stew)
Mya Yadana (brain broke)
They Came In Peace (original)
I can now say without fear of contradiction that the Brain Broke mix
of Mya Yadana is the coolest track ever. :)
as for all this Aphex Twin chatter - well, we saw the buildup, now
here's the backlash. i think we can all agree that the guy has some
good tracks and some duds. now can we please drop it?
as for his style being inimitable... well, i once tried to do a piece
in the style of Selected Ambient Works and i think it was extremely
close to RDJ territory, so i wiped it without committing it to tape.
you will all of course doubt that i ever did perform such a feat, but
i did. the key is *lots* of cheap reverb.
kraftwerk: brilliant, just brilliant. no more need be said. i play
"The Mix" about once a month. (btw, William Orbit did some great
mixes of "radioactivity.") (to tie in yet another IDM favorite)
