Hey 313, wazzup...? Mark, where did you get the "city in the clouds" quote from? Would be interesting to know as "city in the clouds" could be a poetic translation for the German word "Wolkenkuckucksheim" - "clouds cuckoo's home": Someone living there is something like a loopy lunatic. Wondr if this is what Oswald tried to insinuate?
However, trying to find a quote of Oswald stating that, I stumbled across this article about Berlin in 1998 which might be a good read furthering Berlin as being a creative antipode to Detroit. http://homestudio.thing.net/revue/content/eshun.htm (english) - it's about Basic Channel, Chain Reaction and Porter Ricks. And this page is about Berlin, Manchester and Detroit - http://www.circonium.de/index.html (english) - creative hubs that clearly influence each other, no city, idea or person is isolated! It's all intertwined! Peace Kat -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: marc christensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 22.

Sorry, alex has been such a cheeky devil in this thread, I wanted in on the game too. -m PS my vote's for whatever special "city in the clouds" that Moritz Von Oswald clearly lives in. I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that this means Berlin. Every time I hear a Basic Channel / Maurizio / 3MB / Quadrant, I think I've been transported into a Mills set.
