>Anyone got any opinions/info on this? Is it anything like Childs View >remixes? (which I got after recommendations from a few peeps on this list - >cheers lads) I was really excited about it when I first got it. there's a couple of very= abstract electronic compositions that are quite striking and different from= anything else he's done (that I've heard).=20 since then I've checked out some of his other recordings and find 'Scope'= kind of hit and miss by comparison. There's an Oval-sounding track. There's= one of his fake Steve Reich pieces, but it's not as strong as the ones on= Child's View or Child and Magic. There's a so-so meandering= sampled-woodwind fantasy. Then I noticed that the liner notes mention that= the pieces on Scope are from 96, 97 and 98. I deduce that Scope is a buncha= tracks that have been laying around.=20 It's not bad stuff, but "Child and Magic" is just so incredibly strong, and= really holds together as a piece despite considerable variety. I keep= coming back to it and continue to discover new things. I'm hoping he comes= through with another sustained effort like that... kurt
