I second that. I thought it was pretty blah, i don't know why it was
getting built up. Some of the new remixes sound interesting. I think
Mark Bell remixed it. I know he produced the album, this is a remix
right? Or just the album version

>>Matmos recently did two remixes for "alarm call" off homogenic that came out
really good. I didn't think that they would get used caus ethey REALLY tweaked
with her voice, but they just got a call back from bjork who said she loves
them.
 
 the new matmos 12" just got back from the plant. It is called "the west" and
is a corelease between vagu terrain and an indie label called delux (home of
cars get crushed). It took a long time to make and also features
tortoise/aerial M guitarist Dave pajo and SF digital terrorist/indie
junglist's homemade toy synthesizer contraption. no release date yet I guess.

I do. Well Gescom - Motor is sort of weak.

Alot of the Musik Aus Strom doesn't do it for me. I didn't like the
Freeform, Funkstorung 1.08, and the i think it was the last two
releases....I forget the names. I probably like about half of their
material. 

I picked up the Bannlust - Digital Tension CD last night. I thought
that had some interesting moments on it. There were 2 tracks I believe
that ventured out towards Drum n bass, it kind of reminded me of Jega
a little. I also heard the single with the I-F remix it all sounded
pretty good.
