Well folks, the monkeys at MMR deserve another
plug, this time around Daniel has supplied an unreleased
cdr-single with a new artist "Punk Monkey" added to
the line-up, a remix of Fluoroscopic Kid's "Soft Drink 
Jihad (Guerilla Mix)," and three tracks by Aof23M..

The first three tracks by Army of the 23 Monkey's
(you may remember "Live Improv at la Lomita Verde
(excerpt)" on the Enter The Monkey Comp) are
unusually abstract electronic improv sessions that
unfold into smooth trancelike techno experiments.
Imagine Office Products meets the Orb and you
have a vague idea where the sounds reside. Peculiar
indeed.. 

The remix for Fluoroscopic Kid's "Soft Drink Jihad"
is by far one of the most complicated IDM tracks i've
heard in quite a while. Although i haven't heard the 
original track by FK, this remix is mysterious soundtrack 
music. Oddly amusing beats, strange sounds in the 
midst and atmospheric overtones makes this one an
immediate favorite. 

Note: The limited edition (23 copies) version of the 
upcoming Neutral full length, "Font Translation Error,"
comes with a bonus cdr that will contain more tracks
than what is currently available via MP3. But don't let 
the "limited quantity" tag deter you from looking into 
this fine project, "a note will encourage the buyer to 
mp3 the cdr and upload".

MP3's of Army of the 23 Monkeys are available at
the MMR website: monkey.eliteware.com/. Or 
check out the Aof23M and Jeff Lent MP3 at 
www.sonictherapy.com/mp3. Solenoid has also 
contributed a remix for MMR on an upcoming
project on the Neutral lp, so stay tuned for that as 
well.

Stop scratching your head and check out MMR now!

Pietro.
