getting great reviews.

for reviews for some of the stuff on drop beat, carpet bomb, v/vm, and
others look at my web site (url in sig)
>and explored all that I want to on the Rephlex label.
have you checked any of the earlier stuff?
there was a time when rephlex put out interesting and intelligent music,
rather than just jokes, pisstakes, and bochum welt.
>I'm
>interested in Atom Heart, but I can't find much info on them (him?)
him (Uwe Schmidt).
well, part of the reason you can't find his stuff is because most of the
recent items are under various monikers.
I don't have a lot of his stuff, but for starters check out the Real
Intelligence series on rather interesting (his label, just about
everything on it is by him). it highlights a lot of
the rather interesting material. I also dig the lisa carbon stuff, but
i'm not exactly sure (is anyone?) if it's him under alias or if there
actually is a Lisa Carbon, who works with him a lot.
For more info check out the (outdated) discography @ hyperreal
http://www.hyperreal.org/music/artists/atom_heart/
there you will find a link to the (not outdated) rather interesting
discography.
hope this is a good start.
as for finding the stuff...
I know that etherworld used to have a good selection, but I'm pretty sure
they don't do music anymore or something like that :-(
otherwise, just try the biggies: modern music, mfr, etc.
I know xx@xx recently got in the lisa carbon disc on rephlex (waiting for
mine...)
hope this helps...
mult......
