Yeah, 'Myopia' and a couple of others on 'Ambient' are nice. I still pull that CD out occasionally, and the Moby remix of the Pet Shop Boys' 'Miserablism'. Intrigued by the talk of this new stuff.
Re: Instinct/Sonic, sm:)e, Kickin, etc. I would've been completely lost without those labels in the early 90s, as the vinyl peddlers in Iowa City didn't carry much and imported underground techno CDs were a rarity at best. They were also some of the few labels to give consistent promotional support to college radio at the time, which is how I first delved into electronic music, and I imagine I'm not the only one. Later, there were more small labels that got more niche, like Waveform (I think), which licensed lots of stuff from Beyond, the San Francisco ambient and trance labels, the TEX stuff on Volume, TVT putting out Warp, etc. Those CD labels really kept things going to the more remote places in America.

The tracks on the Moby 10" are called 'Bed' and 'Mulholland'. Also, just received Fred Giannelli's new 12" on Dust Science - nice work there At 11:59 am -0600 22/3/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >which tracks are on the 10"?
