Very >good. > Surgeon "Communications" (Downwards LP1 - 2x12") this Anthony Child production was released in '96. no ambient, just a = few decent percussive and some bleepy tracks. this is far from his best = work. haven't listened to this in a year or so, and i'm not even gonna = put it on now because it's just doesn't do it for me. don't like it at = all. stay away from this one, unless you're a hardcore Surgeonoist, and = my guess is that those are rare on a list like this one. >My favorite singles by him are Muggerscumout (Soma), Pet 2000 >(Downwards), and Magneze (Downwards). > on the two first i totally agree with you, but i don't think i've heard = Magneze so i couldn't comment on that one. and btw these aren't ambient, = just wacky tracky 909 w/ distortion. don't think Muggerscum Out has been = repressed, so that one could be a bitch to find, but i'm not really = sure. >Most of his early stuff is pretty good.

Hybrid is selling out a some of their older stuff at their website = (http://www.algonet.se/~hybridpd). i remember seeing stuff like Sound = Architectures (HYBCD 001, vinyl version sold out a long time ago - = contains remixes of HYB 01-10), Sir Augustus Granith Hall "The Kattajaq = Story" (APCD 002, very good odd tribal stuff from Cari Lekebusch), = Tupilaq "Vaisen EP" (AP1201, very good ambient from Krister Linder), = Cari Lekebusch "Yellow Blood" (AP1202, ambient electro or whatever, i = can't remember what this one was like) + new mixtapes from Lekebusch, = some other old Hybrid releases and slipmats. i think the Hybrid homepage said that these items could only be ordered = in Sweden only. but check the web just in case, my mind could be = buggin'. luv, bauri http://www.underjord.net
