Ok, so trance may not be consisdered IDM as fact, but the fact is that there are a lot of people on this list from everywhere, and hopefully, someone can give me some info for a friend who is searching for trance party info in South America. Thank you very much for your time.... Ok, to make it more IDM related, now playing: THE INNER THUMB - SOUL ECSTASY (FROM THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK) - EMPEROR NORTON=852 tracks here on this EP, with a remix of one of them. Interesting Story on this one=85Fulton James was an ex-ABA basketball player who decided to take part in the social revolution of the time=851969. He wrote some, demonstrated some, was jailed some=85then= returned to writing. He found financing for his film in various interesting places and people=85including the Black Panthers. The story goes, that a fight= broke out outside a theatre where it was being shown one night, and the next, someone set fire to the theatre, it got a lot of bad PR, and the film was subsequently withdrawn. The guy got very depressed and himself withdrew=85he died in a fire in his home in 1979 and all copies of the film were also destroyed. Some stills do remain, and, the soundtrack. From the sound of these tracks, I can only guess at the extreme funkiness and get-down that this movie had! 'Soul Submarine' has moody, muted synths, cool sexy Spanish guitars, rolling groovy bongos, shakers, neat flutes and funky organs for a wild 'n groovy a go-go! 'Citroens 'n' Sitars' is a sitar driven bass funker that real cool and deep - the drums are especially nice making for a for a very, very pleasing mellow groove pattern. *'Citroens 'n' Sitars - '99 remix' is quite an exotic 'n psychedelic funker! A sitar crazed, drummy rockin thang with lots of spacey sounds 'n efx, neat vocal drop-ins, some nice acid, and it's like, wow, man! Warped, wild ', wicked. Linda Leigh/L3 www.technotica.com
