    The last Ternesc Blawan I really like is Many Many Pings, and Immulsion has some great moments - but he seems to be going in a faster, sparser direction. The first four Ternesc releases are fantastic.

    They are ISRCs (ISO 3901) - I thought about something like that and checked out ISWC and ISMN to no avail, so thanks for re-activating that part in my brain. So the format is CC XXX YY NNNNN, CC = country code, XXX = issuer code YY = reference year, last two digits, and NNNNN = unique identifier for the work within the reference year. The current handbook has some interesting things, like the fact that CCXXX is now a five-character alphanumeric prefix, and the country code is no longer required, so if the first two letters of an ISRC don't correspond to an ISO 3166 alpha 2 country code, then you won't know the country of origin.

    There is a definite logic to the track names. when you split it up to character groupings. All of them start with FI (could be a reference to Finland - or not); then comes 3A, which is the hex code for an ASCII colon (:), that might not mean anything; then there's C2, which is the hex code for the character Å in ISO-8859-1 - that doesn't make any sense, so I'm extending the grouping for the next three, which make up a running identifier for the releases: C20280 = 1, C20290 = 2, C20300 = 3 etc. - the last grouping is a running track number for each release, with a step of 10, like with the release code. I tried various (simple) other things to find out whether there's something encoded in the names (like Pantone colors, Unicode characters and the like), but found nothing - what also bothers me is that the releases are called Spectrum but the color order is wrong - GBVRYO - indigo is missing, 0 and 7 are achromatic (grayscale) - the spectrum starts from infrared and ends with ultraviolet, so 0 and 7 could map to those. I see some other decoding possibilities as well, but that's what my pattern matcher picks up easily. It's fun, but I just might ask Allu-Allu about it. Send in the Farnsworths.

    Sounds something like Mew - yet no - but nowhere nearly as good as Mew, although not too irritating, either. After listening to their earlier works, I'm puzzled that someone could get sucked into the IDM event horizon via them. There's something Koop-ish in the earlier releases, too.

    I was wrong about Electric Arc - Kudos Digest Issue A has the 1995 Mix, only Likemind 01 has the different version - so the original 1993 version is vinyl only and not found anywhere else.
