Greg: re: Phoenecia (this is the correct spelling on the left :)):
I don't think so. I've got a promo of the forthcoming
Phoenecia coming out on Schematic. It's a two tracker called Odd Job 12",
but that's all the info I have. Supposed to come out in June, though I'm
not sure if that's confirmed. It's apparently two of their tracks remixed
by Soul Oddity. The track from the bside is up in one of the recent In The
Mix shows on my Cognition site if you'd like to compare/check it out. It
goes "rhythm box/me and my rhythm box" if that helps at all; can't remember
the vocal/if there is a vocal on the A side cut, but, as far as I remember,
there's no resemblance to the Newcleus's Jam On It from 1984, though
that may be the title (i don't have any song titles with it, it's a test
press).
There will also be a follow up vinyl and a CD called "Odd Jobs" (adding
an "s") with remixes from Autechre, Richard Devine, Ectomorph, Push
Button Objects, and Takeshi Muto. Speaking of Autechre, they do
a remix of Squarepusher's Two Bass Hit (forthcoming on July 19's
Maximum Priest EP) that uses a four on the floor kick. Quite interesting
on first listen. Hope this helps. Andrew Duke :)
