the DIVINE stuff is killer (as usual) but the rest didn't do zilch for me. But
hey it's worth cash for Divine production:)

maybe I'm going thru a backlash against MOST IDM of the past year cuz there's
sooo many copycats,  many artists who sound sooo similar. I  spoke with Davealex
of Multicast tonite. We agreed that the a lot of the difference between the IDM
of "today" and "yesterday" is that a lot of todays stuff is not timeless. Case
in point: Autechre's _Incunabula_ or Aphex's first two LPs. I don't think 2-3
years from now I'll be sitting there reminicising about the Demon 2 ep on Musik
Aus Strom or some of the like. That's my basic frustration with the majors of
the "genre"  lately.

I totally agree, I think the K7 thing is REALLY good. On that note
does the CD have MORE trax than the vinyl??? This is usually the case
that Ive seen with the Andrea Parker, Dave Clarke, and J. Saul Kane thing
If so, what trax are not on the vinyl that appear on the CD?????
