agreed. it's definetly more varied than the previous efforts, without
straying too far from the autechre sound.  there was one really good
track on _sonderstiente_ and 'tank' from _break art_, but otherwise, the
post art stuff is the best i've heard yet

huh??! the one on chocolate industries??! i found it boring and
repeative. the only track that's particularly interesting is the original
version of 'non-exsistant', which loses me by the time it hits that high
pitched sound. the gescom remix trys too hard to sound like the first PBO
ep on schematic, and fails miserably. the other two are just kinda clunky
and repeative. try to pick up the first one on schematic (sch003) that'll
really blow you away.  he actually does a GOOD job with the hip-hop
skam-y meld on that one.

>Are there discog's online for PBO?  

just the choc ind. 12", the schematic 12", and now an appearance on mask
[i guess?] 4

>Is there  a Chocolate Industries webpage up yet?  

nope, not that i know of.

>Schematic site would be handy too I suppose.  

theres a [non]site at http://www.gate.net/~schema/
but the only thing there is just a logo and an e-mail link.
i think gonzi is doing the site.

oh, and whats with the DR [inspired? the pbo is the only one that
actually says so] graphics on the recent schematics and chocolate ind.
releases. that  is _so_ warp. i mean, i dig tDR and all, but can't they
just do their own thing?
