I busted out my Meteor ep today to review your comments and i agree that one of the two tracks on Meteor are very Mouse on Mars-like but the other is way too experimental for a valid MoM comparison.=20 The other track on Meteor would be better compared to Ryoji Ikeda/=20 Dumb Type, or even Oval. On the Takemura album, Scope, Nobukazu=20 veers more towards, often going way beyond, the experimental sound=20 of the second side of meteor. A very unique and enjoyable listening=20 experience. If you enjoy the MoM-ish sound Takemura toys with on =BD of Meteor then i suggest you try his Funfair album on the Bubblecore=20 label (under his Child's View guise). On Funfair Takemura dwells=20 more in the vibrant quirky electronica sound which, at times, is=20 reminiscent of Mouse on Mars but with a delightfully light-hearted=20 feel. I recommend you check Funfair out if you can still find it. >PS. If anyone has any Jet Jaguar or Patio enquiries unanswered in my=20 >absence, drop me a line. Speaking of Patio, a friend recently sent me a tape of the Patio=20 Cross Dressing demo and it is wonderful. Spacious downtempo melodic electronica with a touch of experimentalism. I'm really=20 looking forward to the official release of some Patio material as well as some Jet Jaguar stuff (which i believe is a collaborative effort between Patio & Aspen). -->-Lance--- xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
