hi all, there don't seem to be masses of London.UK-based people on the idm mailing-list, which is a shame - but for anyone who is there, should point out there's an especially tasty Rephlex gig this Friday at the gorgeous new Scala venue near King's Cross. It consists of Aphex Twin, Mike Dred, Luke Vibert DJ-ing, and DMX Krew, Cylob, D'Arcangelo, Bogdan, and Ovuca live.Anyway, I should be going and I'll try to give everyone a gig review. On a related note, anyone else heard the new Bogdan Raczynski album, "Samurai Math Beats" on Rephlex? I just checked it out, not bad at all, if even weirder than "Boku Mo Wakaran". Lots more weird singing a la Aphex 'Milkman' but slightly more strangulated. Sorry to say, but I do find it a bit derivative, tho - in that it's the sort of thing you'd _expect_ Rephlex to bring out, whereas the new D'Arcangelo album I thought was rather cool and much more unexpected. regards, h0l/simon (http://www.mono211.com - mono211/monotonik)
