It almost makes the song enjoyable becasue I like it so much. I was wondering if anyone could refresh my memory as to where it's from. The original Atomic Moog by ColdCut was my guess.

Yo all, I'm phucking sick of this shit. Ok, now, I did attend the Worcester show last month, and yes it did sound excellent and it did kick my ass all over the theatre. Ok, now, for all of you that went to that site (the fatboy one) and downloaded the Worcester show, you may know what I'm talking about. All I know is that the little fuck near the mic needs to get the shit beat out of him. There's no need to clap that much near the mic, and absolutely no need to fucking scream that loud into the shit either. Now, I understand that this was an unexpected show to turn up on MP3, and also free(thanks!!), but I don't know what kind of setup the person had to document this show. It sounds ok except the crowd noise. (Fucking scummy Worcester! Why couldn't the brothers chose Boston! the crowd is chill!). So, except for the "It's called Dr. Who! woooooooooooooooooo" and "Yeah yeah yeah, clap clap clap Halcyon!! Place Belinda Carlisle here!" it's a decent recording. However, I can't even turn the shit up on my stereo because some goon feels like he's screaming in my ear! I am grateful that I got the show, and I see why it's fre now hehehehehe.

Someone else wrote back that this was the 2nd disc and that his first was really good too. [Sorry I don't have the disc titles with me] But basically it's a guy named Adam Dorn who started in NYC as a jazz bassist [so there's the cross-over to the jazz radio prgm]. Anyway he's young [~26 or something] and started producing other peoples music [not tech] but also started to get into sampling etc and calls himself Mocean Worker.

I thought it was an Ok CD; there are some good tracks and some not-so-good tracks on it, so I only listened to it a couple times (maybe it needs some more of my attention) I finally got my hands on a copy of "Hot Rod" by Friend - I'm speechless. I wonder if I should bother buying any more drum and bass, cause I can't see how it could possibly top this :) If you want some incredibly awesome drum programming, with an ambient-technoey flavor, seek this out!

Along the same lines, I caught the last bit of rur on friday, and during the closing credits they played a video that they never credited. It was good, I can't really remember what style tho, although I think it was kinda mellow, trippy DnB, and the video had a guy lying down, and kind of floating thru space. HE looked a bit like Trickey, and I thought it was him, except there wasn't any Trickeyesque vocals. He was wearing a gold coloured suit and had wierd coloured eyes.

It too should after plans contain a version of "Phat Planet". There was actually a full-feature article on Leftfield in the July issue (I think, well at least the one with the Empress from Star Wars on the cover), not just a note of the release date, so it's apparently coming from the two themselves. "Two Bass Hit", the AE mix on Squarepusher's new "Maximum Priest EP" is good, a bit of a mixture I guess of AE's machine sounds mixed with what I gather must be a characteristic Squarepusher sound. Never heard anything else of Squarepusher, but the new EP was fair enough for "first contact". Also picked up the "Virus" 12"? by Ed Rush + Optikal, with Watermelon and Sick Note; phat drum'n'bass, reminds me a lot of TeeBee & K (the two Norwegians releasing 12"s in a hurry at the moment with no stop in material coming out both in collaboration and on solo). Also, there's a new drum'n'bass duo here in Norway called "Quadrant 4", their new "Uhuru EP" was just released and has received somewhat good acclaim from the critics with comments such as "up the LTJ Bukem alley", but with a disadv. of not being too innovative and rather producing pretty ordinary drum'n'bass. Perhaps a surprise is the inclusion of real instruments such as electric guitar, percussions, some african instruments, etc. rather than just relying on the machines. And the biggest surprise, it's not bad for the two 16 year-olds. Pay attention to them, if they're already releasing material now, I'm positive they'll probably get their own distinct sound as they get older and get more experience with gigs, etc. Steve, if you're going to the Total Eclipse festival (and in case you're bringing a camera), could you please get a few snapshots of System 7 for me, please. It seems they always play UK while I'm in Norway so until I can sort out that problem, I'll have to resort to reviews and pics of their gigs. If anyone else is going (only seen Steve mention this yet), please if you bring cameras and think of seeing System 7, I'd appreciate pictures. Regards!

Not as good as most of 'EP7' or 'LP5' though. >Never heard anything >else of Squarepusher, but the new EP was fair enough for "first contact". the last album (there are remixes of tracks from it on 'Maximum Priest') was more jazy than this EP. I didn't really like it. His older stuff is more programmed, less live instruments, sometimes pushing Paradinas and co for the drill 'n' bass crown.
