I'd much rather listen to 'glob' than say.. Marco >Passarani. At least Simon's trying to do something a bit different, not >just a rehash of the SOIDMS (Same ol idm shit) > I urge everyone, Freeform fans and haters alike, to check out his new Freeform cd on the Sprawl label called "Me Shape." This new one is a compilation of sorts culling twelve tracks recorded between 95 and 97 for live Freeform performances. The every track on this album is a nice mix of complex=20 rhythms (ala Elastic Speakers, Prowl, Palavalamp and Glob) and sublime sample-laiden melodies (ala Heterarchy and Pattern Tub). So fans of the new and old Freeform style should enjoy this one. Highly recommended! -->-Lance--- xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
