Never could have your love is a fantastic anthemic techno-house mixture! However, did you know that the beautiful melody is sampled from the Move D's In/Out off of the classic album Kunststoff? I found that out when I got a copy of Kunststoff, newly re-issued on City Centre Offices. What a fantastic album!

Dear Tom:
You've really surpassed yourself on this one. Tundra 4 reaches an icy summit that few in techno would even aspire to. The climb is much too technical, too difficult to be of interest. But you, on the other hand, only find rewards in these strangest of strange lands, reaching yet another mysterious pinnacle. The intricacies are distinctly Baroque, but this is symphonic techno forcing its epiphane upon us, that beauty and terror are one. May we all reap as much from your work as I have.

As a side note, in this world of endless revisions and remixes, the name here is at once familiar (harking back to Tundra on Feed Me Weird Things) and alienating because of its mechanical addition of the number 4. Just a reminder that 4 is the number of death in Eastern cultures and in Western Qwerty culture it is the symbol of the dollar sign. So is it version 4 or 4.0? Where have 2 and 3 gone? Is Tundra the same as version 1? Does the entire sequence represent something else entirely? The immediate linear nature of my logical thinking is revealed, and I can't help but think that once again, you have pointed directly to the mystery which we all pursue.

Thanks,
