        hello folks long time etc

        been having a groovy summer playin around europe & the med
        rome, denmark, lisbon, tel aviv, hungary, glastonbury, barcelona,
amsterdam etc
        best idm-related music i heard was at love parade and the
interference festival
        back on track after not happening last year

        bernd friedman played some mighty fucked up music with 5 minidisc
players
        move d / earth II infinity played intense live stuff
        the mfoc djs did sterling stuff
        biggest suprise was newcomers swap from koln i think
        wicked springy electronics that u would enjoy
        i found an ep on musik aus strohm but the live stuff was even  better
        koln has so much electronic music ...


        another topic - in boudisque amsterdam i saw a lot of tunes with
SPHERIC AMBIENT
        written on them as a description, so i checked some of them out
        they were all IDM type tunes with a strong electronic edge
        like Vladimir Delay on Chain Reaction, which is most strange
        a side like pole making detroit techno, b side weird throbbing ambient
        also SENKING on Karaoke Kalk
        karaoke kalk continues to be one of the most interesting labels
        has everyone got the wunder lp by now i heard that a few times this
summer
        if it were on matador or kranky everyone would be grabbing it

        something else  i just got - a new roedelius CD with a nice alex
patterson mix hurrah
        did i tell u i played with can in hamburg one of the highlights of
the year

        my fave record right now is the CIINEMATIC ORCHESTRA lp on ninja tune
        intense spiritual jazz electronica that makes you go wow
        of all the current jazz-fixated records this might be the best yet
        If the big chill gala is anything to go by it's gonna be a jazzy
year next year!
        jazzanova in particular rocked the place
        i still want to see someone truly combine jazz and electronic
sensibilities
        and i dont think anyones quite done it yet
        tho ian o brien and jimpster are well on the way
