I spotted in the latest s://kimo new release list that Mike Ink has
repressed his 10 volume Studio 1 12" series.  Anyone have opinions about
these releases?  Are they worth picking up, or will the CD compilation
suffice?  what are they similar to?  any real audio or mp3's out there?

Well, they are extremely similar to each other...
My local store had them all in, and I listened to most of them, and picked 
out 3 that stood out, but they are all much of a muchness. 4/4 tech/house 
rhythms (pretty funky ones) deep dubby bass lines (real deep) and minimal 
one, or if you're lucky perhaps two note 'melodies' repeating, fading in , 
interfering with each other (if theres more than one, which happens 
occasionally), and fading out again.

I like 'em. They are fantastic for mixing, cos they go with just about 
anything. Especially each other, for more interference pattern excitement.

Ooh, I just though of something they're kind of similar too - Brinkmann's 
girl's names records.
