went to the Air show in Chicago last night courtesy my astralwerks/NYC retail friends. some of their friends at Nettwerk basically have to fear for their jobs because apparently _no one_ actually bothered to listen to the pressing of ReMix Dys Temper before it shipped. go figure. apparently whatever was pressed is not the Puppy album (can't tell you what it is, wasn't specified). so they had to recall the whole thing. so those of you Stateside/Canada going to stores today, don't buy whatever is being stocked, and those who mail ordered, I would recommend returning unopened. anyone please feel free to confirm this, although there's no reason for anyone to lie . just simple industry talk. I would give it a ninety percent accuracy. a little Last Rites deja vu, eh? for those of you considering Air, definitely go. and don't expect the album. a serious obstacle for the band yesterday when the bass player's girlfriend, who stayed on in LA after the band's Friday night show (immediately after which they took an overnight(s) bus to Chicago(Monday) - near 2000 miles people. whatever...), was in an automobile accident, necessitating that the bass player return to LA. so the band had to adjust, improvise and rehearse that afternoon, but still pulled it off in fine form. don't attend expecting the album. with a stage presence and spirit of decication not seen since prog rock, Air interpetted and attacked their album with fresh and divergent variations, and a coherent selection of a few covers to boot. a version of "Tomorrow Never Knows" that puts the ChemBros to shame, even before that whole Noel ugliness... so go see if you're in Toronto today, even though "they're not idm." even though they are. and stay away from the Skinny Puppy until we hear otherwise. daevid j "I want more life, f*cker." - Roy Batty, circa 2019 ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
