Nice rhythm but the melody is rather >tedious. Willing to give it a few more goes, though. I liked it cos it was pretty subtle rhythmically. And the chords reminded me of the old UR way of sampling and looping chords i.e. _Eye of the Storm_ etc. And you know thats a good thing. >From: "GamePrg." <xxx@xxxxxx.xxxxx.xxx> >Subject: Re: (idm) AI2 (was Re: idm-digest V2 #274) > >hm.. I think Time Tourist is rather mediocre and perhaps even crappy YMMV but _Time Tourist_ is top B12 material IMO - I prefer it to _Electro-Soma_.

That track is not supposed to be representative of their usual material although I haven't heard the Wurlitzer release. The Warp stuff is going to be different. >a Mira Calix track with a _really_ dopey >drum sound, decent but unremarkable dancefloor techno >from Mark Bell & 2 Lone Swordsmen... The new 2LS material is better than the WAP100 track. But then they could release a 2x12" of silence and it would still be better than that exercise in weakness on WAP100. >on now: Balil "Island" (thanks for the reminder, Chris) Yeah, I had it on last night as I hadn't listened to it for a while - one of the most incredible, beautiful tracks I own. >From: xxxx@xxxxxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx (Mark Stevens) >Subject: Re: (idm) Gescom on Fat Cat > >It's best to listen to the Foehn stuff completely independently from >anything else. As nightmarish ambience it works well. Stick it on loud >in a pitch black room and let it fuck with your head. I put it on in a weakly lit room instead and let it bore me senseless. The dark atmospheric ambience on _SAW2_ pisses all over this. And it also doesn't work if you play it whilst caning _Banjo-Kazooie_. Off to see Carl Craig and Kevin Saunderson this w/end.
