Its very good, its remixes of Free Design tracks by the likes of Stereolab, High Llamas, SFA and various laptop manglers and it was 7.99. I like the Free Design although at times there is a fine line between them and Rod, Jane & Freddy... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2005 02:41:38 +0100 From: Tim Subject: Re: [idealcopy] OT : Of Mercury Prize and Overground Underground Keith Knight wrote: The new CocoRosie album is out next week - more weird > sounds and falsetto vocals linked to interesting sound structures hoped > for.

One of my few claims to fame is that I used to be on the same label and Dj'd with The Earlies in an earlier incarnation. I Still bump into the Texan half of the band occasionally and apparently they have a "new direction". The Art of Noise and Propaganda were mentioned...I like that idea a lot. > > And on 7 Nov, the most anticipated of all - Kate Bush's Aerial. Can it > be worth the wait? What the hell will it sound like? I didn't know it had a release date let alone a title. Lord knows what it will sound like its been so long. She could: a. Do something really mad and uncommercial like Scott Walker's 'Tilt' b. Do something that is kind of OK but a bit cheesy and will only be of interest to long time fans who can forgive her a lot, like Brian Wilsons 'Gettin' In Over My Head' c. Do something with 4 good songs on it like David Bowies last album which Q Magazine will say is her best since Hounds of Love which isn't really that good. d. Do an amazing, mindblowingly brilliant album that shifts human evolution up a gear. We'll see. Bring it on.........singing bush! ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V8 #243 *******************************
