it's interesting to hear how split people are about download albums. it seems like download fans are perfectly divided between thinking either furnace, TEoSP or III is the best they've done. personally, i think TEoSP is tops (if the whole cd was just glassblower i'd be in heaven). furnace is quite good, & III just feels somehow... lacking. maybe i went into it w/ the wrong expectations, but i'm an unsatisfied customer. with this is mind, would i like charlie's family & music for cats? some people have said that chharlie's family feels a little like coil, which is music to my ears... and as for haujobb related stuff, i'd agree that newt is very IDM friendly, but i also think it's a little dull. granted, i only listened to it in my car, but i found it boring even as background music. however, both solutions for a small planet and freeze frame reality are really good stuff. with this in mind, would matrix be a bad purchase? what about the other myers productions? i know they're d'n'b-ish, but others have said it feels like autechre (which is a good thing). oh, and i think the cleaned visions ep is drivel... the lexauculpt ep on isophlux is quite good if a bit... sparse. however, the last song would of knocked me over if i wasn't already lying down. ethan now reading: hyperspace (michio kaku) > ---------- > From: laerm[SMTP:xxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx] > Sent: Thursday, September 10, 1998 1.48 PM > To: xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx > Subject: Re: (idm) download/skinny puppy & lesser > > On Wed, 9 Sep 1998, Steve Simitzis wrote: > > > Once you've played Download to death, you can start listening to all > the > > Dan Myers related projects.
