Secret Show: Bandstand 12" (Blanc Mange Comm) . Ripwrap: Bugrider 12" (Blanc Mange Comm) . Fast Robert: Kushti 12" (Blanc Mange Comm) . Watts: Baba 12" (Blanc Mange Comm) i have inquiries out about the above releases and will post anything i find out. >how is the matthew thomas p3 3" cd? i got _remodulation_ and it's >definitely the best sampled-radio-tuning cd i've gotten this week. > i have the thomas p3 3" and really enjoy it. i dont have remodulations yet so i cannot compare it to that one but the thomas p3 sounds somewhat like the experimental ambience flavor of microstoria, some of the sigma releases, or ryoji ikeda. >is there a new fennesz album coming soon or am i hallucinating? i >just (finally) picked up _hotel paral.lel_ and i'm literally creaming >my jeans, as we speak. oh the disjointedness! oh, the feedback! >and if you don't already own _plays_, what's your problem? oh, >right. it's guitar. > supposedly there is another fennesz cd coming out on moikai soon but it's a reissue of the long out of print Instrument ep coupled with four new remixes. the release date for this one was vaguely listed as "spring" so who knows when that will be... >also picked up the pure _the.end.of.vinyl_ 3" cd; created entirely >with run-out grooves (thus the title, get it?) it says, but has that >very mego-ish error-musik feel. no beats, just weird amorphous flow, >not nearly as satisfying as institut fuer feinmotorik if you're >looking for scratchy, raspy loop asynch-superimposition. > picking up the mego this evening but i do have to throw in my wholehearted recommendations for the two institut fuer feinmotorik lps on the fusetron and staubgold labels. both feature great minimal experimental electronica trickery somewhere in the neighborhood of mego, raster, chain reaction, snd, pole, and ikeda but still several blocks away... if the pure cd is half as good as the institut fuer feinmotorik lps then it will still be great. awesoma_powa you have awesome tastes in music! : ) -->-Lance--- xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
