After _Naturalist_, there is _Dropshadow Disease_ and _Real Intelligence III_.
_DOS Music_ should be out shortly, I believe...
from http://www.datacide.org/ri049.html :
Atom Heart has put together a (conceptual?) CD based on computing
and everything digital. With songtitles like Ping Pong (True Type,)
KPT v. 1.0, Cut 'N' Paste, and Dingbats, the music is heavily sampled,
sharply digital at times, quite lighthearted, laden with intentional
distortion/lo-fi, and lite drill-n-bass-ish. Lighthearted like MOM,
and lo-fi drill n bassish like Andrew Lagowski meets Yello and Mike
Paradinas. Fotienda is a sort of digital samba that starts out nice
but drags on a bit later. KPT v. 1.0 is a lush ambient number with
an a touch of the Orb sound. KPT v 1.1 is the most straight ahead
d-n-b of the CD with a great distorto lo-fi digital sound.
Cut N Paste is just that (d'oh!) The CD ends with the "bonus track"
consisting of a computer voice singing the words "Daisy, Daisy, Give
Me Your Answer Do...I'm half-crazy..." [As a kid way back when
(hey Jeff K!) I had a 45 RPM 7" made using one of the first computers
that filled up a room and had the advanced capabilities of digital
speech and singing this same song.] Pete Namlook, A. Lagowski, and
Lisa Carbon (Atom Heart?) are all credited with minor contributions.
I can't say much about Naturalist other than I haven't listened to it in a
while. Maybe that's saying enough...who knows. :)
