gil -

i urge you to give the plug and pthallo stuff repeated listenings.  there
is fine fine fine stuff here representing the I in IDM.  it may not jump
out at you on first listen, but none of the good stuff ever does.

the mannequin lung LP is primo as is most everything john tejada touches.
phtallo's warship is challenging but lovable; could an act named after
everyone's favorite potent pigment be half bad?

just keep the ears and lobes open, that's all.
