On the Photek thread: Personally I enjoy Modus Op. a lot more than Risc vs R (being the only other Photek I have) and must agree with everybody else who voiced disappointment and anger at the repetitions from one release to another and lack of new material per release. As regards reviews : this *should* be an open forum for people to write exactly what they think and feel about a particular release. If they like it, let them praise it; likewise - if they hate it (for whatever reasons) let them describe why they found it lacking without fear of personal attacks and flames. Everybody's point of view is valid - and we certainly don't all feel the same way about everything. I know you'll all yawn to hear about this - but FINALLY I've heard the much-talked-about Skampler (THANK YOU! you know who you are :-) ) and now understand why everybody's been jumping up and down about it ::: after two listens-through, I am totally impressed and want more, more, more of the same. Excellent. wells wrote > "all these things we'll one day swallow whole > and fade out again and fade out again" Good God !! <gasp> somebody quoting Street Spirit on IDM - made me go scrabble around my unplayed CD's and listen to this great track again :-) Damn..... any good ideas on what to do on my birthday next Friday? You all wanna come over to my place and 'blow the whole joint up' - to quote Monkey Mafia :-) ? I * "Incomplete without surface noise" - Autechre
