The Domu and Seiji EPs (numbers 5 and 7 on the label respectively) are the two totally essential ones - the Domu was my favourite record of 1999 by a mile (although I didn't get hold of it until this year!) and the Seiji is top contender for 2K at the moment :) >> Archive - slightly more D-flavoured future-classic >> techno, look out for the >> upcoming Nubian Mindz LP and Theo Parrish EP... > STILL trying to find the New Season trilogy... Well worth hunting down. Everything on Archive is, actually - finally managed to plug the gaps in my collection and now I have everything... >> ...Visions... > > The first release on this label, by Mustang, is > awesome. Pity I can't obtain it. This is my other contender for record of the year so far - Alex Attias is in a league of his own. Visions is his own label, and the second release is equally awesome, by him and Dego under the alias Plutonia - should be out very soon. The first one is in stock in Smallfish, or was on Thursday at least (check www.smallfish.co.uk for shop contact info). Quite a bit of the Archive/2000 Black catalogue was there too... >> ...Seiji... > > Bought his "Second Nature" on Bitasweet. Funky as > fuck... this is the first tune Dego plays at his DEMF > set... The Seiji & G-Force LP 'Just Another Number' from last year on Reinforced is well worth tracking down, plenty more in this vein and it's a real grower... > Now, to the point, does ANYONE know of any online > vinyl mail order sites where I can get this > stuff?!?!?!? It's really difficult getting any of the > releases I want in the North East of the UK. It's all > charty cheese and ultra hard stuff. I want the funk!!! Apart from Smallfish, there's Vinyl Junkies in Soho which specialises in this sound at the moment (along with all the ultra-expensive Flower Records Japanses imports). Also Catapult in Cardiff (my local - http://www.catapult.co.uk) has recently done a big re-stock of the Archive, 2000 Black, Laws of Motion etc back catalogues - you'll have to move fast though cos they only ordered one or two copies of most of it and me and my mates have been grabbing a lot of it! Plus there's Rush Hour in Amsterdam who do mail-order and have most of this stuff in stock I believe... Hope this helps - feel free to mail me if you want more info, Tom
