hola, first - anyone know what speed the eardrum _first mutation_ 12" (soul static sound) is supposed to be played at? i'm leaning towards 33, but it sounds a little bit wrong at either speed. maybe 39rpm? as regards markant 15 (the 10" HardWax edition), it's really quite impressive. comparisons to autechre are valid, but more to _amber_ than to anything recent. side A is some standard Ae-derived stuff, but very well done. side B is the killer - a kind of melancholy, emotional atmosphere, with a slow, subdued rattle-trap beat, with some lovely melodies played on something chimelike; this really does it for me, e-music with emotion, it's a hell of a thing. (and i grow more and more curious as to how anyone could dis markant in favor of funkstorung; the only track by them that comes CLOSE to this is "porto.") is markant 15 worth 15-20 bucks? hmm. i'll get back to you. (after i buy markant 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, tee hee.) anywon wanna trade some slightly used funkstorung for the thomas brinkmann _supposex_ lp? okay, how about mask 300 for some markant? okay, how about _lego feet_ for your sister? maybe this old hula 78 that i got at goodwill and wrote V/VM on the label (ltd ed. 1) for your immortal soul? any takers?
