I'll try to sort you out here. I'm not positive about this since I've got a taped copy, but according to the listing on the back of the CD "Flutter" is the 4th song to come into the mix, after "Rotar" which you may recognize off Tri Repetae. But you probably already know this, seeing as how you have the CD. If that's not what you need, then by my watch "Flutter" comes in about 3:25 from the start of the disc, is in full speed by 4 mins., and segues out by 5:25 - nonrepetitive beats and all. If by chance you wanted to pick up the Anti EP, Modern had it like two weeks ago. 'Tis where I got mine. Hope that helps. > Date: Fri, 12 Dec 1997 14:56:36 -0600 > From: Jace Krause <xxxxxxxx@xx.xxx.xxx> > Subject: (idm) Best Buy prices > > Best Buy is based in my home state Minnesota, so the local press covers > a lot of stories on it.

He speaks the truth...I worked there for a summer in the music dept. so I could get 1200's with the employee discount for cost. They do get in a lot of stuff you wouldn't expect due to their massive purchasing power (i.e. if anything comes out on the most obscure label they'll at least pick up one copy of it). But with companies like that the bottom line is all that counts, and when your precious IDM doesn't make volume it gets ditched. In the meantime they've run all the local shops out of business. Don't think with your wallet, stay loyal to your friendly neighborhood record store, and stick with folks like pj and john c and you can't go wrong - Brock A side note: Just to prove to you how "corporate America" Best Buy is, I'll share a little anecdote. They have this whole concept of teamwork and motivation down to a T, every morning we had a "team meeting" where they did cheers and got everybody all hyped. Since I was in the media dept. and had keys to the CD player, I had to pop in the "Rocky" theme song every morning at 9 AM and the whole store had to jog over to the management desk cheering and getting pumped. What a crock. Last time I ever pee in a cup to get a lame job and a pair of 1200's...
