LM04 has tracks from Nuron, Elegy and possibly another alias for the same
people.  Quite nice - one of them a bit more chunky than the usual Likemind.

If they/he had only ever released the Tura track from LM03 on a one-sided
10" then their existence would be fully justified.

Quite - LM01 is the only one I'm missing.  Is that for your smugness gauge?

Is the Point of No Return 12" the one with largely similar tracks to the
Stasis half of that joint Redcell/Statis CD?

The Bedouin Ascent EP on Rising High fits quite nicely into this
discussion, I think - at least three of the five tracks, anyway.  I can't
remember the name right now.

Oh yes - whoever mentioned Holger Hiller, I quite agree.  Anyone who likes
Mouse on Mars should investigate.

Someone mentioned the Gerd LP - I got a promo of it for 1.99 at Vinyl
Exchange, thinking I couldn't lose out too much at that price.  When I
listened, I thought I'd been ripped off.
