don't know where you could have recieved such information but each
track is obviously from the group as listed. the Oval track is boring
digital ambience that sounds just like all their other lame-ass
tracks. (btw: if you want GOOD digital ambience check out Robert
Henke's Floating Point on Imbalance). The Panasonic is brilliant pure
electronics, just as one would expect.

anticipated, yes, but it leaves you with an odd feeling when the
show's over. i saw them here in Toronto a few months back: the
beginning of their performance appearantly has noticable structure
with beat experimentation but this quickly decays into noise. loud,
persistent, ever-changing noise. an hour and a half later it suddenly
stops and you're left wondering what sort of reaction you should have.
even as a great-big Panasonic/Vainio fan myself i'm not sure to this
day whether the performance was good/enjoyable or what. as far as live
dates, duh, go to pHinnweb:
