Your music is pretty cool... I like the logical way you develop ideas 
and the samples from a comedian (which remind me of Bill Cosby 
on "Himself") on 'jello speak' and the guitar-like melody on last 
track which hits me in a similar way to one of U2's old songs. I 
don't know what too call your music... Sort of electronic all the way 
through but with really varied nonelectronic influences? I don't know 
much about electronic music, so pardon if I stated the obvious...

My music is going in a different direction... I use alot of acoustic-
like sounds, build/develop ideas harmonically (instead of in a lineal 
way)and use drums more sparingly. I guess more like ambient? In any 
case I layer a lot and sometimes use really long samples... So I 
built on your idea and started to not only do what you do in reason 
with logic, but also straight on the Sp-505 (the sp-505 is cool that 
way, chopping and resampling is really easy and effective). Now, I'm 
going to get a Scsi card so I can load long samples to my ESi more 
effectively and am experimenting with building 32 bars patterns. I 
also plan to get two (or atleast one) cheap & flexible effect unit to 
tweak things live... It should work out beautifully... Well, atleast 
it doesin my head it does! :)


Any suggestions for a CHEAP & flexible effect unit for "live" use? I 
really wanted the Line 6 unit with all the delay/echo effects... but 
is more than what I have (or would want to since for not much more I 
could get a basic laptop and use vsts) to spend... I like delays, 
tape delay and echos the most...

BTW, Anybody here using a command station with a dj cd player live? 

thanks...
