It's really out of date but you can at least drool over the
older gear.

"The Freaks" just came out on City of Angels on vinyl and
shows up on the CoA "White Noise" comp.  I dunno if it will
be released on cd.  The White Noise comp also features tracks
from other CoA guys (Crystal Method, Simply Jeff, Witchdockta)
and some Skint/Wall of Sound blokes (Mekon, Midfield General, 
Hardknox) and a few others (Monkey Mafia).  All of it in the 
big beat sound stylee.

His remix of BT's "Peace Love and Grease" just came out.
If anyone sees a copy of his remix of Herbie Hancock's
"Rockit" could they grab one for me (it might Japan only)?
And he's been holed up for the last week working on a remix
of Sarah McLachlan's "sweet surrender".  I think he has a 
Simply Jeff remix scheduled after that and then the Uberzone
album might get done...

>I've noticed that they're all starting to sound very similar.

Funny, that's what I thought everyone says about IDM ;)

p.s. For LA shoppers only: duck over to Aron's and dig 
through the used bins.  You MUST buy Atomic Hi-Fi (they 
had 3 copies last week).  It's got some hard big beat/nu-
skool electro and the DJ Demonixx "R2D2" track is gonna 
get somebody in a heap of trouble when George Lucas finds 
out.  Anybody who likes the Jon Carter mixed cd's is gonna 
trip on this.
