...but what is "Rez" supposed to mean ?

Also an FAQ on the forum could be god.
If there's already one, forgive me, I'm a newbie, I haven't seen it yet...

does it have to mean anything?

Why is Rez?

there used to a faq kind of thing before I think. Not sure what happened to all that. Probably residing in some dusty and forgotten folder of Yannick's harddrive.

Rez is a strange name (and a good track also) and I wonder what made them choose that name..

I always thought it implies 'resonate/resonator' , especially given the sound of the track

If I recall correctly, there's a tab on the main Darktrain page that says "Underworld Confusion Center", which sounded like a guide for Dirts like me who haven't been fans since Karl was a zygote. Unfortunately, it doesn't link to anything.

Rez is french for lady. Maybe the same reason Cowgirl is named such.

and what is the name of the track: born slippy?

Dude, I'm french, and I can tell you that there isn't such a word in that language. The only thing which exists is "rez-de-chaussée", what means "ground level" (there is also "rez-de-jardin" but that is less used). The word "rez", alone, doesn't exist.
The most used word for lady would be "Dame".

About "Born Slippy" I read on wikipedia that that title came from the name of a night club or something like that. (".NUXX" coming from an informatic bug which added that suffix to all their working files).

I always thought that it refered to the resonance of the synth they used to get the main synth sound. When you look at a synth, usually the Resonance nob or fader is simply marked "RES" and it wouldnt be too far to think that they just put a Z at the end of it to make it "REZ"

Thats just my theory
