I have, but you probably don't want to ask me because I can't really be bothered with this sort of retro techno. "No Time For Gravity Waves" was the only track I wanted to listen to twice, if you must know.

is there any kind of dan curtin singles comp out there? everything i've heard from "the classic years" has been great.

the "web of life" & "art and science" albums are indeed interesting if memory serves me well. and search out this purveyors of fine funk 12"

strange that this is the only dan curtin thread, as he seems to me to be one of the more interesting 90s peacefrog guys. i don't think i've heard a bad record by him, and am frequently blown away by his stuff. i think on discogs somewhere somebody describes his records as little mini-dramas within dramas which totally makes sense to me. he has this hyperactive urge to force as many ideas, sounds, melodies, key changes and breakdowns into a track as possible but this restlessness somehow never becomes the main focus of the track, the restlessness is always in debt to the overall groove. maybe this is why so many of his tracks seem to so expertly straddle this fine line between experimental techno and tracky peak time club music?

some of my favourites (though i've not heard everything and can't really speak for his recent output):

the aforementioned purveyors of fine funk vol. 3 -- oblong hyper-house
planetary ep -- early roughly hewn space techno
life in the savage garden ep -- epic and melancholy melodic techno
the time undefined record on strictly rhythm -- hectic, sample-frenzy technicoloured house music

i read he has a new album out on mobilee, any one heard it? somehow i just can't bring myself to listen to a track called "mr bean do an e"
