Squirrel Bait is hot! I dig all three tracks on it. Very quirky
techno, but I also agree that it needs to be heard loudly. I often
annoy my parents by shaking the basement with it. The stereo phasing
really adds depth to the tracks.

Yeap that's the one they're all on about....
The b-side has two unreleased mid nineties DBX tracks.
Squirrel Bait is one of my top 10 favorites from last year...guess some
people don't get it though:-/

Subject: RE: (313) new dbx
can someone plesaase claify what new DBX your talking about (since some of
us don't go to the record shop 3 times a week)
If you're talking about Squirrelbait- which to my knowledge is the most
recent DBX release- than it needs to be heard on a big system to be
understood. I didn';t like it on the villallobos mix cd, but was rocked
when john tejada played it live.
and if there's another newer DBx- it'd be nice to know the name of it.
thanks

i think i'm with ya there actually. this seems like heresy but i think
dan's newer stuff doesn't really light my fire in the same way that the
old dbx material did. that isn't to say i don't pick it up but now i
make sure i listen to it first, whereas i used to just buy his material
on sight.
is it possible that the use of certain equipment (ok, i'm talkin rz1)
gave dbx such a distinctive style that it's kinda hard to move on from
that without people moaning like i'm doing now?
