a few totally unrelated things: did kid 606 ever release anything on cd? if so, can anybody recommend anything to me? i saw a metamatics cd on clear at a local record store yesterday. i've heard some talk about them on the list so i'm wondering how they sound like & if i should buy it. i'm into fucked up beats these days. god i want fucked up beats!@# there's too much weird noises stuff on the shelves nowadays. :) at the used bins yesterday i picked an old lisa carbon cd (from 93 i think) entitled "experimental post-techno swing" on sonic records & it's such an odd record. it sounds like jazz made with the usual 303/808 acid paraphrenilia. the store people had put it in the "acid jazz" section, which is quite funny because in a way it _is_ "acid" jazz, but not as in "acid jazz". if you see what i mean. at any rate, it sounds quite good even though the beats are quite generic (it even has the claps & all of the cheesy percussion sounds i'll admit i've grown to love from the 808, but that are _still_ way cheesy). i also found dummy run's "ice cream headache". great tunes on that one. -- david turgeon curator, http://www.notype.com web programmer, http://www.jumpmedia.com xxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx - icq #2358960
