<the Replikants><Joe, Justin, Brandt>

Brandt: Flowers- Your response and critique of the Replikants album was very clear and well written. We strive to create music that is suitable to future record critics like yourself. I often wonder what kind of deep inferiority complexes and abundances of time inspire people like yourself to publicly comment on their own likes and dislikes. You are a tool.

Joe: Your so far behind you don't know that synth crapola is whats selling these days. Why don't you go back a pay attenttion to throbbing gristle records you little rascal. I appreciate you expression of opinion, I just think it sucks. You should start a band that sounds like the MC5. bye ,JOe

Justin: First of all, I can listen to Hamburger Lady repeatedly if I'm in the right mood, so that puts us in different boats. Secondly, there's plenty things going on beside the synth crapola you refer to, so what the hell are YOU thinking. And if you really are Ray of Today, its the funniest thing I've heard all day or even this month. Maybe you SHOULD try something electronic.

Justin: Its says artwork by Mr. "I'm from Duluth". That would be Zach, the bass >player from Low, an artist to be reckoned with.

Brandt: Zack from the band Low did the artwork for the Replikants album

Brandt: Stan, We Replikants all enjoy classical music. My degree is in classical music studies. Justin likes alot of Eastern European stuff like Ligeti, Pendereski, Lutofslowski, Goereki. Joe is into Bartok (as am I) . Joe also has some classical and ethnomusicological training. I like so much of it that it is hard to list, but I have always really loved Carl Orff and alot of vocal music from the Medievel and Renaissance periods especially Gesualdo and Anonymous vocal music of 13th century Spain. I hope this answers your question. Later days..... Brandt

Justin: My personal favorites are Arvo Part, Penderecki, Stravinski & Bartok. Theres others I cant remember right now, but you probably get the picture.

Joe: Joe likes Reich, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Bartok and a bunch of other dudes (i think they' re all dudes) that I can't remember. Brandt always turns me on to good clasical stuff.

Justin: Fuck you buddy. I oughtta cancel your subscription, if you know what I mean.

Brandt: Who is Harrison Ford? Was he in Moby Grape? And what's all this about the Glade Bunny? Hugs, Replikants

Joe: Yes, they are mean, but some of them are sensative, if you really pay attention. They are living with a lot of implanted pain.

Justin: Sure, just send us your resume! We do any kind of movie, be it gothic horror, docu-dramas, Italian horse comedies or a sensual masssage video. We are very open minded.

Brandt: We are always interested in doing soundtracks for movies. The most ideal scenario for a project like this is to collaborate with directors on appropriate music with special attention to what is going on visually. We are fairly versatile and could work with variety of cineamatic genres. Tell us what your basic ideas are for your film, and we can bounce some ideas off each other.

Joe: If you ever make a movie I would be interested in doing the soundtrack. We could probably do soundtracks to a lot of different kinds of movies. We have'nt speacialized yet. Can I see the movie when its done? Action comedy I hope.

Justin: boxers. Does anyone besides europeans wear briefs? I'm scared of anything referred to as a banana hammock or butt huggers.

Joe: bananahammocksoverboxers

Brandt: Boxers and Boxer-briefs are probably the most comfortable. Where boxers allow for more "freedom" of movement, Boxerbriefs can give you that extra needed "support" with soft comfort of stretchy cotton.
