Someone who truly appreciates goooood electronic music. Anyway, yeah Softcore's pretty damn hip. One of Uwe's earlier/mid- period releases... quite hard to come by actually. If you've got a lead on one you oughta snatch it up. I'm sure you could trade it if you didn't take to it - although I'm sure you will. As far as Jet Chamber goes though, there are three different releases. The first two explore the trancey/ambientish side of the Namlook/Schmidt experience, while the third (my favorite of the trio) incorporates a surprising amount of good tranced-out bleeps and bloops with drum&bass neatness. A nice acoustic guitar excursion also works its way in and out of some of the tracks - this works very well actually. My further suggestions for Uwe Schmidt albums (if you haven't tried them already): "Shellglove" by ATOM HEART, "Gran Baile Con..." by SENOR COCONUT, "Polyester" by THE LISA CARBON TRIO, "Orange" by ATOM HEART, "60" by SILVER SOUND, "Mono Trademark" by MONO TM, "Render" and "Render Audible: US Remixes" both by LASSIGUE BENDTHAUS, and on and on and on... ewu. .`-). christopher miller o o.' xxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx == ' on: "Puss 02" by GOD IS MY CO-PILOT
