>herbert 100 lbs. Housey stuff: the gimmick is he samples cutlery and other household objects. Nothing on it is as potentially offensive as his "Royal Wedding" on the 'Theory of Evolution' comp, but this keeps anything on it from being terribly exciting, either. >LFO advance Blah. A mediocre record that took ages to record. The Stone Roses of techno, indeed. Get 'Frequencies' if you don't have it - it's a classic. >mbm subliminal sandwich It's not received any really hostile reviews on the list. I'm waiting to pick it up used (if there's one thing you can set your watch by, it's that MBM albums always show up in the used bins, sooner or later). >mike&rich expert know twiddlers Judging from the comments I've read, it's more puerile, overhyped trash from these two. Lately it's hard to believe they're actually the same guys that made "Sick Porter (Remix)" and "Polygon Window." >mu-ziq salsa w/ mesquite >mu-ziq in pine effect Domestic on Astralwerks (US). Now making the used-bin rounds (and not without good reason). >j. slazenger makes a racket Has a few good tracks. Irony is no substitute for quality. >single cell orch. dead vent 7 Mainly spacey ambient with an idiotic radio play about a doomed space station that isn't too distracting.
