here are some new things that have crept into my collection that i recommend. pretty idm related. NOTE: each one of these releases is *very* different from the rest. 1. chris watson - outside the circle of fire (touch) this is a fine fine fine fine ambient-ish release. various close up field recordings of various animals. pretty odd, but quite fun. 2. john wiese - cat woman is a cat vampire 7" odd noise/drone from southern california. i paid $2.99. such a deal. 3. aube - cerebral disturbance (anomalous) noisey. but really nice at points, quite intense at others. i guess these recordings are somehow made from/based on brain waves.. pricey as hell -- most likely to pay for the nice (but a little overdone) packaging. aube puts out some of my favorite noise material (for the record, my favorite "noise" release would have to be the christoph heeman/merzbow collaboration -- not at all related to aube:) 4. voice of eye - live 12", recorded in SF and whittier, ca. (anomalous) voice of eye creates some of the most drifty ambient/drone i have heard. really, when i listen to this stuff, i feel quite removed from myself. whatever that means. tons of layered, dark, alien sounds and rhythms. 5. phonic driver - bloody sunday (audio illusion recordings) found this in the hardcore section of dr. freeclouds -- marked as hardcore, breakcore and jungle. quite insane and noisey. any adventerous hardcore fan should take note. reminds me of the stuff on ambush/praxis. 6. ark (brif) another fine french house record -- well, sorta.. house, with a bit of hip hop/trip hop and funky flavoring. herbert fans (dr rockit, radio boy) should take note. 7. we are the world lp. swap meet. $.50 tis all for now :) -chris
