Um. It's OK, but a bit 'poppy' (whatever that means). It is full of
cliched samples like '1 2 3 techno' but it's quite good I think.

In the States, at least, the theatrical version of the film is available on
video in both a subtitled version ("Das Boot") and a dubbed version ("The
Boat").

I keep hearing bout Twitch and keep getting more an more interested.
What do they charge?  Can I email em instead of LD phone call?  Do
they list the tracks on the CD?  Thats always a nice feature as I
like repeatedly getting that sensation of: "ooooh! thats that song?
I love that!".  Buying Bad Boy Bill's Remix CD #14 was great for that.

It's called The Face EP, and is a 8 track EP with two remixes each of LSI, 
Ebeneezer and two other album tracks (the titles escapes me, but one is a
rhytmic drum-based track, and the other is possibly Spacetime)

I have the second, and love it. I concider Boss Drum the best single from the
album.

Thanks for letting me know that this indeed is the case at the other end of the
UK from my own , and I think this proves that maybe 'rave' is finally on it's
dying breath here in Britain , and then things can settle down again into the
clubs , where it is so much easier to control the 'clientelle' :-)

So , to all those detractors , I've not seen any UK postings , or e-mail ,
refuting this . Maybe now you can expect that Yes , I DID know what I was talking

Anyone know a good source of CDs with breakbeats? I know most people
will tell me to get them on records [like Bones breakbeats etc] but I
want them on CD where the quality is what counts. I just bought some
piece of crap double CD collection with breakbeats for $40 that could
hardly be called "BREAKBEATS". I need some fast stuff (BPMs), I am just
learning mixing, DJ-ing on CDs ONLY and need breakbeats! btw I dont want
any CD-ROM versions but ones I can loop with my Cd players...

Is it the album or the single ?  The single is fairly good, or at least it was
last year, before it became popular.  I am of course referring to the original
UK release on Love Records which has a few mixes that have never been released
elsewhere (probably because they sound too similar).  If you can get that, then
it worth having.  The rerelease containing the Mickey Finn remixes isn't worth
the money, as the remixes are pretty poor.

BPM : 128-135 depending on the mix

BASS : some, but not as much as the distortion in the remixes

Back again, with a question that has been probably asked before.  I want to
know if there is a techno/rave FAQ sheet still available?  If so, which
perspective is it coming from...(Europe..or USA)  Either side would be
greatfull apreciated.  Both sides would be greatly appreciated.  Want to know
the basis, and what it REALLY is....according to the experts (Internet
users/promoters/proformers/etc. etc) And I'm wondering if there is a catalog
listing of any sort around....Just a few requests, from a eeager, upcoming
raver =)

Rave on,

	Well.. it had to be said! :-) Good music is good music period.
Kraftwerk is Kraftwerk on either home-made analog synths or the
brand-spankin' new digital gizmowhachamacallit. It sounds different on
both of them, but it is still Kraftwerk.

	There is still something to say about playing 'Watch
Your Bass Bins' on a stock Amy 500. It's just so.. so... so elegant! :)

Sometimes I wish I had a record-maker so I could stick some of these
MOD files onto vinyl and play with them. You could add some breakbeats
to them for a little more 'depth' (something that the amiga kinda
lacks in) and run them through a reverb or something for the same
reason, but they are cool songs still the same. Suburbass Commando,
eh? Let us all know when it appears on FTP!

(BTW, what is the deal with an Amiga for you?)

A lot of what Kraftwerk use is designed by themselves and their crew of
electrical engineers.  I have a feeling that they have designed their own
vocoders (were vocoders around when 'Ohm Sweet Ohm' and 'Autobahn' were
originally released ?).

The speak and spell appeared on the 'Computer Love' album (the start up tune is
played at the beginning of 'It's More fun to Compute'), but after that, it was
all vocoders.  I'm not too sure about the Amiga though.

Elektric Music (ex-Kraftwerk) have used computer speech packages - the 'Baby
Come Back' track on RubyTrax is an example of this.  However, they also use
vocoders (like in the Planet Rock remix).

For more info on Kraftwerk, and what they use, read Music Technology last
month.

    Is anybody in the Wash, Balto area going to the Aquarius RAVE this
coming Saturday?  If so I was wondering if you know who I can call so I
can setup a table and sell some stuff...
