The aphexweb I was referring to is a web page not a mailing list. It is located at : http://members.xoom.com/aphex They have regular news updates and a good sense of humor (I used the word "bastard" in a nice way last time) As far as describing Roni Size's style of music, it's an organic blend of drum n' bass with many soulful elements. Heavily jazz influenced and he often uses "divaesque" female vocals in his songs. I was part of a conference call put on by Mercury with Roni a couple of weeks back during that Miami conference and I got to ask him a couple of questions. He was super friendly to everyone (all 30-40 of us). I asked him about the Adam F album and then about his opinion of Warp artists like Squarepusher. To that question he responded very positively. He said something along the lines of "I don't know what drugs that mate takes man, but he has some fucked up tunes. How does he cut up those beats like that." He also said that if I liked Squarepusher that I would shit if I heard the Nobukazu Takemura full length who also contributed a remix of "Brown Paper Bag." About his future he said that he was very interested in working with America rappers and vocalists as evidenced by his projects with En Vogue and Redman. He said his dream collaboration would be with famous producer/musician Quincy Jones. On the topic of new releases he said that there would be none out this year exclusively as "Roni Size", but that he considers any album put out by any of the members of Reprazent as a new album for him as well. He really emphasized that the new Krust album that will come out this year will be awesome. ario. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
