Thanks for these Minto. Second your thoughts on the Atkins thing on Subject. I was surprised to see 1-94 track released again - but seeing as I don't have the other (previously released?) tracks on vinyl, I was happy to buy.
As for Mathew Johnson's 'Decompression' on Minus, agreed: it's a little disappointing although not entirely uninteresting. Record shop listening 'booths' aren't the best place to check this sort of thing though, so am looking forward to hearing someone play it out loud ... I preferred the other MJ release out right now 'Behind The Mirror' more, and that's the one I got. >-----Original Message----- >From: Minto George [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2004 8:58 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: (313) ticklin' my ear and not > > > >The new Danny Wang on Ghostly is sweet! more >dancefloor mini moog/ARP action from Danny.
