Very > limited so grab one while you can! This album sounds somewhat interesting. However, I disagree with the tagging of Thomas's Remodulations as "ground-breaking". I found it quite pointless and boring as all fuck. Here's a review I wrote for a rag I write for... MATTHEW THOMAS _remodulation (Dorobo/Soleilmoon) Random electronic tones and static. Whoopdie doo. Maybe there's a point I'm missing, but thanks to the glaring lack of liner notes, track titles and any other information, I guess we'll never know. Ah, fuck it, I just don't have the patience for this sort of stuff anymore. Wake me when it's over, would ya? Note that I normally have no beef with minimal, experimental or otherwise "difficult" electronic music. But this disc left me really cold. Anyway, for the person who was wondering where to find this, I've already dumped my copy, but I believe you can get it from www.soleilmoon.com if you're still interested. Greg
