I don't know what are you talking about, are you really talking about
Freeform. Simon makes so jazzy electronica, and he is one of the
finest new school electronica artists. It's hard to people to accept new
freshhhh music, but I didn't expecti it here on IDM

You, like Shane obviously didn't hear much of his stuff. I hope so....

>"Dark Start" from the ELpH vs. Coil LP I assume.  Speaking of making music
out of alien sounds...

And, whats the deal here ? What alien sounds, I never heard alien sounds.

Considering Like-A-Tim, IMO his CDEP on Rephlex is great, but
who gives a fuck. Try to find his 'Boogie 2x12"' , 'Look-A-Like 12" ,
'Audio Art 12"  or 'Cacophony 12"  or anything on Djax. All of those
records are brilliant, and really represent the best tracks from
Tim v. Leyden.
