Right, I'm just back from holiday and working through the CD's you sent me - many thanks!
I'll do you both the same cd, it'll be a disc of mp3's rather than an audio cd, if that's ok with the two of you?
Give me a couple of days to sort myself out and decided what tracks etc, and hopefully I'll have them in the post by the end of the week.
Cheers.

Oh and Pandaemonium: are you still making that Robotron game in J2ME? How's it coming along?

I just listened to Crystal Ambience and Tribal and they were actually alright! Shame on me. I don't mean this as an insult but they sounded a bit like old computer game music.
Incidentally, do you ever listen to Gilles Peterson on Radio 1? He plays stuff by most of the people on the CD you made and it's a really excellent place to hear new music. It's a really eclectic show, which I really like. It's on Wednesdays at midnight but moving to Sundays at eleven soon.

Arg! Knew I had something to do. I'll listen tonight, I promise.
Alas, drinking and smoking can only occupy so much of ones time................

As for the Minister stuff, try a couple of tracks: Crystal Ambience, and Tribal come to mind, as does Listener.
I thought you'd like the Saint Germain stuff, it's kind of similar to the jazz-y stuff you did for me.

I had a good listen to most of the CD this weekend and really enjoyed most of it.
Nitin Sawnhey - Been meaning to listen to this guy for ages and I'm glad I finally did. Very cool, chilled stuff.
Saint Germain - I bought 'Rose Rouge' when it was a single, which I think is an excellent tune, but I never got the album and didn't know he'd released two. I really liked his stuff. It's kind of jazzy, which I like, but it's good jazzy as opposed to the dull trumpet noodling that a lot of dance music falls into when it tries to get 'serious'.
Fila Brazilia - Not really had a proper listen to this lot but on the first go through it seemed pretty good.
Bonobo - Very nice. I knew the name but I hadn't heard anything by them. I really like the label they're on, Ninja Tune; pretty much anything on there is worth buying, and they also run an excellent radio show, Solid Steel, that you can listen to on their website - www.ninjatune.net. I think you might like Wagon Christ (offbeat electronic stuff) and they've just released his new album, Sorry I Make You Lush, that I'm going to pick up when I get paid on Wednesday.
4 Hero - I really like 4 Hero, but I'm glad you sent me the mp3s because I think my old flatmate nicked the Creating Patterns LP when I moved out. I think some of their stuff veers into jazz w**k territory at times but when they're good, they're great. One of the guys makes broken beat type stuff on the side, but I don't own any of it and I can't remember what name he does it under :( They have a remix album out and that's another one I need to buy soon.
Minister - Not really my thing - trance and hard house don't do much for me. I've a got a mate who DJs that sort of stuff and I find that I need vast quantities of booze to really enjoy it. I'll dance to it if I'm out but I wouldn't listen to it at home.
Very good CD overall. Cheers for making it!

No, I've got eJay 6, and it was created in that.
Glad you liked it though :-)

Hey, Your Honour, I've had a listen on MP3. 'Double Poetry' seemed to catch my eye. Tis good. Have you got 'Reason'? The tune sounds like it was created form that.
