hello to all - 
a month or so back, bakis was kind enough to send me his cd for possible  
review on the list. somehow, typically, i got tied up with other things and have  
been slowing actually posting anything.
to bakis, i extend my sincerest apologies for the delay !
in the interim, there have been 2 nice reviews done making mine mostly  
obsolete. what i thought i`d do is just add a few comments from my notes :
 
like one of the reviewers, i noted a certain "john carpenter-esque feeling"  
to some of the pieces. i certainly didn`t find it objectionable tho it did 
leave  me wondering if this was something intentional meant as personal 
acknowledgement  / respect or just one of those coincidental cultural references that 
occur  occasionally - ?
 
tracks 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 were my overall favorites.
 
drum / rhythm tracks were nicely done, staying interesting enough not to  
descend into "beat".
 
overall production of the cd was very good tho the ambience was just a bit  
too "dark" for my personal taste, a bit of high end eq would have helped.
 
electronic sounds were all well concieved and executed. nicely done.
 
very different from the electro-noise improv that i do here but a very,  very 
good recording. it had a certain smooth flowing quality that makes it very  
nice to listen to. while not the best enviroment for listening to it, it has  
been a pretty constant "car cd" for me getting a lot of listening time.
 
a definite "buy" notice on this one - 
 
best,
dave
