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."

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.
