G'day, >jack frost - 'snow job' this is drum & bass, correct? comparisons? This is Aussie indie guitar stuff from Steve Kilbey of The Church and Grant McLennon of The Go-Betweens. Arty, quasi-eastern mysticism, etc. Good if that's yer bag. >various - "sundazed", i believe that was the title. it's a mix cd put >together by some dj i'd never heard of with some interesting tracks, >including two coldcut remixes. it's got a little girl with a bunch of >flowers on the cover, and looks way cheesey. but then again, so does the >u.s. release of irresistible force's 'flying high', so you cannot always >judge a book by it's cover. This is basically older indie-dance stuff from the early '90s, if I'm correct. ie Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy" mixed into Stone Roses' "Fools Gold", plus a few others from that era (Beloved, etc). Cool if you're still stuck in the Madchester scene I suppose. :-) >three releases on the subharmonic label - 'psychonavigation', a death cube k >cd, and another by cygnus x. but wait, these are not the normal releases. >they are packaged in jewel boxes with booklets, but they have no tray cards >and thus no visible track listings. also, they all have different artwork >than the originals and sa 'ibm cd-rom' on the cover. do these have any >music on them? what are the cd-roms like? is it just a publicity tool? I've got two Divination CD's on Subharmonic without the back covers - did they all come out like this or are these cut-outs? Anyway, these also came with 'multimedia' which was just a crappy DOS fractal program that kept dying on me. Not worth seeking for the CD-rom portion alone, IMHO. Cheers, Geoff
