> I've got a question about the reissuances of Aphex Twin's "Selected >Ambient Works 85-92" and "Classics".

They did a bunch of bad comps, and a slew of R&S titles (both 69 CD's among others). I know that for a while, the R&S licensed titles were only available in Towers, in fact they were a required buy by each store's respective import buyer. The whole deal is fairly offensive. They are cheap, though. Full lengths are about $15 POP stateside. Sounds like the kind of thing those of us who have any sort of anti-corporate sentiment should boycott. Otherwise, they're exactly the same as the R&S versions and a good deal. -Keith __________________________________________________ Reckankreuzungsklankewerkzeuge.________________________ _________________________________PO Box 382864-2864 Cambridge, MA 02238-2864____________________________ _______________________________________________USA _______________Main URL: http://www.tiac.net/users/sheket __________________________________________________
