Friends,

Please excuse the slightly off topic post, but: I forgot to mention this
on my last message.  Mr. Mendez had a kick ass video behind him while he
spun @ the Puerto Rico party.  It was computer (de)generated and it
morphed into a million different things -- really tripped out.  Can
anybody tell me what kind of software and hardware I would need to
produce those kinds of images?  I'm not really planning on doing it for
profit, I just want to start experimenting with it and probably add it to
my repertoire of skills.  All leads are welcome.

ON-TOPIC: Puerto Rico was an oasis for music.  I went to a store called
"La Gran Discoteca" in old San Juan.  I was able to pick up the following
CDs for a lot cheaper than I would have had to shell out in the USA:

The Irresistable Force -- Global Chillage (Rising High/Astralwerks)
The Irresistable Force -- Flying High (Rising High/Instinct)
V/A -- FAX Compilation I (FAX/Instinct)
V/A -- FAX Compilation II (FAX/Instinct)

        [I think these above might even be out of print already in the
USA]

DJ Spooky -- Necropolis: The Dialogic Project (Knitting Factory Works)
Slowly -- Ming (Instinct Records)

These are not new, but I haven't seen them in the US in quite a long
time.  I was also able to take home the following wax:

Indo Aminata -- Leo Leo (Milano 2000) Remixes by Flytronix, Peshay, and
Alex Reece
DJ Spooky -- Synthetic Fury EP (Asphodel)
DJ Kicks: The Black Album -- Rockers Hi-Fi (!K7)
DJ Kicks -- Kruder & Dorfmeister (!K7)


Peace,
