the original old-schoolers guide to cowtown, brought to you by the tourism division of the evolution control committee. mark g and lara 7 have gone out of their way to create an in-depth site about what little there is to do in the original home of borden (or was that boredom?).
the home of todd sines' design and production entity. this perpetually-unfinished site offers you a glimpse into the minimalist aesthetics of mr. sines: electronic music composer, graphic designer/artist, and founder of the ele_mental concept.
this excellent e-zine from our friends in france features essential interviews and information documenting the best in underground electronic music. lengthy interviews with our own titonton and charles noel, along with friends anthony 'shake' shakir, morgan geist, and experimental artists such as leo anibaldi, reveal their particular devotions. ear is also part of the mindless entertainment triumverate of websites, which includes forcefield from the netherlands, and surreal sound from belgium.
serving your needs since 1987, the evolution control committe offers up this double-phat but still tasteless website. the wiley pranks of ECC president spanky esoterica and ECC spokesmodel mark gunderson are hardly an excuse to check this one out, but do peruse through the committee's vast discography and soundfiles, documenting their aural assault upon our breakfasts. dan rather rapes, the new bomb turks eat soup, and jesu is the boy of man's desire. not recommended for children under 3, as it does contain SUBVERSIVE ideas and WEIRD music.
one of the web's most important sites for electronic music and awareness, brian behlendorf's brainchild is now home to dozens of volunteers who maintain such essential areas as the hyperreal music archive, music machines (devoted to musical gear), epsilon (highlighting ambient music), rave resources (including regional mailing list pages), drugs (from mysteries to chemistry), and various personal projects, official, and unofficial artist homepages.
