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.
