nice words, cheers. For those who can't stand comparisons of music and literature, delete this post now. Personally, I can't get enough of soulcenter I and II. I've always thought of Brinkmann as the William Faulkner of dance music on vol.2. The weird dark historic edge, reminds me of the crazy stuff in _Light in August_ and _As I Lay Dying_. Also the photography on front and back of Soulcenter II is just brilliant, evokes some dark and intense inner emotions. Also how about that track, is it called FUNK SHACK or something?? I think it's the last track on Soulcenter vol.1, where a creaky door opens at the beginning of the track, and then slams shut at the end. Like you were let into some hot, house party in some weirdo backwoods southern town, where people just come to escape the flashy, glitzy nauseating clubland and into this weirder, deeper and darker smokey space, but it's still pure funk. Also I love the parallels you draw with the whole David Lynch movies, I totally see it, and had actually thought that myself before. peace -- Matt MacQueen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archived radio shows --> http://macqueen.com/radio
