	There was a free single attactched to a copy of E&MM, I
	can't remember which one, but it was very cute. It sounded very
	analogue, in fact, on the free track it sounded like eight channels
of
	filtered square waves... blip blip blip bleep. Fast attack, short
decay
	notes like that bloody 'Pop Corn' shite from the 70s. However, this
was
	much better, a bit trancey. E&MM did a review on the album, and
thought
	it was too reliant on sequenced patterns, and so didn't rate it
much.
	Which is quite brave of them considering thay gave away a free
single
	and interviewed the fellow that same issue. Future Music are never
that
	honest.




I have that free single sitting in front of me right now - when I read this
mail I remembered last seeing it in the eighties in my pile of old singles.
It was still in the pile in the back of a cupboard - unplayed for well over
10 years. I can't even play it now as it won't fit in my CD or MD player ;-)

The label reads 'Lamborghini Records...   AXXESS, Extracts from the
Electronic Album Novels for the Moons'
It came out in 1984.
I'll see if I can get it into digital format. I remember liking it at the
time.
