Clint Mansell is/was one of the Pop Will Eat Itself crew. It's mostly a
shame that PWEI is no more. The only reason I say mostly is now there's a
hope they'll re-release everything before "This is the Day..."

On another note, I snagged the new Autechre last night (Tower Records,
$21.99) and overall I like it, but not as much as "Tri Repetae". I'm a bit
new to IDM (the genre and the list) so I still have yet to get/listen to
"Incunabula", "Amber", or "Chiastic Slide" tho' I know where I can find
them all finally. Believe it or not, Best Buy has "Incunabula" and "Amber"
for $11.99 each. JACKPOT!

Finally, for those who were asking where to find decent stuff in Philly, a
newer (7 months old or so) shop on South St. is State of the Art records a
bit west of Tower Records, right next door to Comic Showcase. Selections
so-so and prices are so-so, but they come through in a pinch. Digital
Underground's selection is usually pretty good, even if they cater to a
more industrial crowd.
