Okay. Oh, easy to get is it? Grrr.

Seriously, I have Innovator, which I bought mainly just to get Icon, which I
have always thought was astonishingly beatiful, and I was really annoyed
when I heard what they'd done to it. It took me years just to find out what
it was from a snatch of it I have on a mix-tape. Anyway, I might be able to
get hold of a copy of the Virtual Sex compilation. Anybody know if the
version on that is the proper full-length one?

>for what it's worth, anytime an IDMer asks me what derrick may tracks to
check out, i always refer them to the "kao-tic harmony / icon" 12" on
transmat: bleeps, pitchbending, ambient washes. probably mayday's least
housey and most experimental moment. (especially "icon" -and i'm not talking
about the terrible edited version on the innovator comp)  i've always
thought that this record never got it's due - it would certainly fit right
in with AI era Warp stuff.  so, uh... check it out.
