i just read 20 idm-digests and decided to share a few
comments before i fall behind again.  

first, thumbs up to atom heart and bernd friedmann (sp?)
for their recent ep as flanger (ntone 32).  think hi-tech
but mellow, digital but fluid.  much better than the new
squarepusher record.

in that case, i don't reckon i'll buy a squarepusher
record again.  seriously, folks, releases like budakhan
mindphone are barely worth a free download, let alone
several bucks.  squarepusher should have released a
single-sided 7" with just the song "iambic 5 poetry,"
and not the 25 minutes of filler.

instead of wasting your money on squarepusher, pick
up the vendor refill - evil weevil 12" on nature; it
sounds sorta like the best moments of the old 0161
compilation.  or try dayglo tinsel, the new metamatics
12" on district six, for some light-hearted fun.
