Re: (idm) Air Liquide "Robot Wars" 10"

There is an interview with Air Liquide in issue 37 of Seconds magazine. The
following blurb is from the intro:

 "Air Liquide first came to prominence at the 1994 'Robot Wars' in San
Francisco,  a Survival Research Laboratories-style mechanical battle of
international acclaim. Their music was the soundtrack for the carnage, and
the event was their debut American performance."

As a "fan" of SRL and their soundtracks, the comparison caught my attention.
I guess it was a little off base, which is typical of hyperbolic music
writers :-)
