yo, 'no ufos' isnt all that hard to find, if you're just looking for the original track to spin out. it was rereleased on the waxtrax mixmaster series (jaun atikins, of course! hehe), but only the UK version, not the domestic. it is oop, but still quite easily had. i found my copy at newbury comics, of all places. (i've found more gold in newb's reduced vinyl section than i have anywhere else, belive it or not) if you're looking for collectors purposes only, good luck np : axiom ambient - lost in the translation

so i'm going to be in nyc this weekend and i'm looking for suggestions... i'm looking for anything from progressive house (no cheeze, please! preferably something on the darker side, like lee burridge's style, or techy stuff like rockcliffe or even some techtrance like steve porter) to dnb to deep house to techno to psytrance to electro (the electro portion of the sinfest rawked last week at 113, btw!) i figure i'll go see danny spin at some point (fridays at vinyl, right? or is it saturdays???), but other than that i'm not sure what to do now that twilo is no more! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. anywhere we go would have to be dress code free (or at least allow for sneeks and black pants. i need my sneeks to dance my ass off!) good music and a good vibe are a must! also, if there are any promotors out there that could send me a couple comps, or hell even reduced, i'd be sure to return the favor if you are ever in boston. also a quick plug : my friend's 'band' is playing downtime on sunday (which is why i'll be in the city for the weekend).. their name is GASR, and they'll be doing a live PA... they're like a cross between ebm/industrial stuff (like front242) and the distintive sound (hybrid, WOW, etc)... so they're kinda like agressive trancy stuff (half thier tracks are breakbeat, the other half are 4 on the floor) with vocals.... good stuff!

Tim Collins -- rumoured to be named after the liquor drink, he spins disco, to 80s to the hippity to the hop in the mambo lounge. **The What** Tym Ryan, Tim Collins, Jack, and Coke serves to fuel the madness at spin cycle.
