>copy of the new Novamute 12"? Reviews?

yeah, i've got "IEEE mitten menu". the two mixes of the title track are a
bit disappointing... fairly straightforward harsh techno with quite
irritating treated voice-samples. the b-side, "fart essen", is much better
- reminds me of (the track) "public energy". rather on the short side,
though.
        oh well, let's hope the album'll be better.

on a related note, i recently found a 12" with a speedy j mix:
the micronauts - "the jag"/"the jag (speedy j mix)" (QEDTDJX7 - but the
run-out groove just says QEDT 7)
        no idea what label it is. i know the micronauts had a 12" on the
phono label (PHONO 6) including a daft punk remix - i believe the
micronauts are french.
        the original is some kind of wierd house with more annoying vocal
samples, but gets nicely quirky on the last half. speedy j transforms it
into one of his harsh techno tracks - similar to the above mentioned ep
actually, although more interesting. not too shabby.
