So my friend took my computer to fix and update it in mid November.  I just
got it back, and as you may have guessed I've been out of the loop for a
while.
I read as much of the archives as I could stand - so forgive me if this is old
news...
        I was in a record store a few months ago and watched someone buy the
last copy of "FUZZ" by Optica.  I have 2 other releases from them:  "Light
Side Of The Sun" under the name Optic Eye, and "All The Colours Of The
Rainbow"  I believe this is thier third disc.  Anyway, the first two were
excellent --  well produced, trancey idm.  Nothing too radical, but very
listenable and not too cheesey.  
        The record store has been unable to re - order this cd.  CD Now .com
has it for...  $$ THIRTY NINE BUCKS..  Has anyone heard it?  Is it worth it?
          Oh, and if you've read this far I may as well ask:  I was flipping
through the electronica section at Tower and saw two artists that caught my
attention:  "Datacide" and "Dead Voices On Air."  Are these IDM? Are they any
good?
   
                                Nice to be back,
