Is it > good? Why doesn't the IDM list like Confield? That's not out yet > either. Yarr! All this unreleased music bashing be caving me head in! > Yarr! here's my opinion of four electronic albums that are as yet unreleased (courtesy of napster, of course): Mouse on Mars - idiology: decent, but nothing to write home about. most similar to ninn niggung out of their previous releases. a few more live instruments here and there. some people on the idm-list have been raving about this, but i only find it so-so. i admit that i need to listen to it more though. Plaid - double figure: quite excellent. a slightly different sound than previous efforts, but definitely filled with the trademark plaid-isms that make them so damn good. there are 3 or 4 mindblowingly excellent tracks and the rest is merely great. sorry i can't be more explicit, just buy it and stop asking questions. Autechre - confield: this isn't a proper assessment, since i was only able to listen to maybe 30sec total before deleting all the files in disgust. continues in the ep7 vein of noisy, complicated, melody-deficient dsp wankery (imho). if you liked ep7 you'll probably like this. (what happened to the days of amber? *sniff*) Orbital - altogether: decent album, but only so-so by orbital standards. i will say, however, that it has GROWN ON ME quite a bit, so all you haters out there should maybe give it some time before you dismiss it entirely. btw, is that an actual 303 i hear on "oi!"? yeah baby, p&p hittin' us up wit da mad ol skool stylee! represent! - -nub # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 May 2001 09:18:18 +0 From: "Andy Jackson" Subject: (orbital) Silence Repellent Just got the CD from SR and it's extremely good.

Visit Ok, I know people are tired of hearing about The Visit so hopefully this will be the definitive post on it.. If you're new and don't know what it is, it's a track P & P started for a movie that I don't think every made it to finality (correct me if I'm wrong). It's a great track, I have a couple of short samples of it that I believe I got from loopz. From what I understand, there actually is something of an 18 minute version if it somewhere. I want this song, and I want it now. I know people have it, why don't I?. If you have the song, please put it on an FTP, or e-mail it to me, or anything. I'll put it up on http if people want it, please! I'm so tired of hearing about the song and not hearing it. Argh! Marc PS- I just read a really neat review of Ae's Confield by URB magazine that was on Amazon. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 May 2001 08:21:46 +0100 From: Arfie Mansfield Subject: Re: (orbital) The Final(?)
