Now it's basically 'Come to Puff Daddy'. It's got da west-side vibe... Sorry, west *coast* vibe... I got some kind of MP3 of it, which is the same tune as was later played on Vibert's show. I got it from 'Tampax Twin's website. It's a 1.4mb download, about 6 minutes long. Do a websearch for 'Tampax Twin homepage'. Or wait till its' release in March - sorry, July - sorry, September, sorry, Easter 2002. It seems to be a first in one respect: How many artists sample their own music in any major way? You can hear the piano from 'On' in the background, and apparently the choral voicey bits are from another record. In fact, it's not very 'IDM' at all, really... > Not only do I want to hear "Windowlicker" I'm also a Vibert supporter. Sorry, but in this case you only get the cuddly toy. IE, no dishwasher. Because I don't have the URL for the 'In the Mix' page, but I imagine it's still on the web. Anyway, why listen to an hour of boring techno when you can listen to 6 minutes of west-side, west-coast vibe. ;-) Jeremy. PS. In giving this info on where to download the music, I take no responsibility for any e-mails received in the middle of the night: "Just stop ripping off our ****ing unreleased music, okay?"
