> > i saw that, and to my amazement, heard myself utter "damn. claire danes looks > good." i never thought i would be saying that. Hey. She goes to a good college. It makes its students more attractive ;-). And she goes out with a rock star who looks like a troll. Life isn't fair. Re: East flatbush. I don't think the problem is necessarily with the number of mixes. i think it's that most of the mixes are completely uncreative. The original mix is killer, emotional,crisp, etc. The best remixes either build on that (like the Autechre mix, with the ghostly vocal echo) or go off and make it weird, like the SQP mix and the Bisk mix. except for maybe one or two others, the mixes show a decided lack of creativity. " Hey, let's filter the vocals and pump the beat up on crystal meth until you can only twitch to it. Then let's let it run for 7 minutes!" Wasn't DJ Premier originally slated to be one of the remixers? That i would have liked to hear. Also, it would have been nice to have a good jungle mix, and maybe a good electro/big beat mix... Just to show the many things hip-hop has influenced. Most of the mixes show how few tricks IDM really has up its sleeve. And the Herbaliser doesn't hold a candle to any number of hip-hop producers out there. My 2x12 cents, for what they're worth. Sam
