James T Cotton* - On Time - Spectral :One of the best releases on spectral. Some great stuff by cotton in typical broken style with a touch of drexciyan type electro on one cut Osborne / TNT (13) - Outta Sight -Spectral: The TNT track l8 is a gem. Cant remember what it sounds like now, but i remember really liking it. 2 AM/FM - Pt. 2 - Spectral : the track acid planes is a mind melt. of folded over vocals and intricate feedback Kavinsky - Teddy Boy - Record Makers: The heinrich mueller steals the show, when doesnt it? Like a ride through a haunted house. Kyle Hall - Kaychunk - hyperdub: You already know about this one, if not grab a copy today, unique shifting over excellent harmony. Kyle Hall- Perfekt sin- wildoats : I like it, its jazzy. but to be honest it wasnt what i was expecting. Dont know how Im gonna find room in a set for it. PARRISH, Theo Ugly Edits Vol 2 unknown label US 12" UGEDT 02 - Had a legit copy before but sold it a while back when i was hurting for dough. not much has changed i guess, but i found a copy on juno. not sure its a bootleg or not, but whatever. I always thought that in a way the bootlegging helped theo get exposure. but i digress, its the love i lost and found again Hundred In The Hands, The - Dressed In Dresden - Warp Records: The kyle hall remix of course! Theo Parrish - Space Station / Going Through Changes (Sound Signature): IMO best sound signature in ages. Theo really stepped up on this one. bouncy drums andgreat sounding synth work. spacey, almost like an AXIS record, but low key production theos known for Various - Spectral Sound Vol. 1 (Spectral Sound) got it for the heiroglyphic being cut. Intruiging vocals and abstract music all smashed up together. Hieroglyphic Being - Dope Jams 3 Year Anniversary (Dope Jams) Only a hundred pressed supposedly. I like the track with what sounds like a bell on a clock tower. the first i heard from jamal moss was on the spectral lable, so i kind of count him for this list. Brian Aneurysm - Das Element Des Menschen (Spectral Sound): Mixes well with J.T.C material Various - Disco Nouveau: Addendum (Ghostly International) : Charles Manier's tracks are just brutal! this one is no exception. Various - State Of The Union EP (Spectral Sound) The JTC mix caught my ear, but i cant remember how it went. :) ViLLan X / 2AM/FM* - HeartBeat Crazy / Don't Front!!! (Nation) : Best vocoder line ever "You dont have to front b*tch, Im sick of this sh*t" Its like he summed up my life experience in dealing with women. just kidding, dont get all mad. Eddie "Flashin" Fowlkes* - One Dance / Stella (Global Cuts) a little late on this one, but finally found a copy in good shape. Various - The Deepest Shade Of Techno (Volume 1) (Reflective (2): I can skip about every song on this except eddie fowlkes "check one" wow. what a deep and moody cut. There is a clip of the song on youtube, you must hear this... Kyle Hall - The Water Is Fine EP (Moods & Grooves) (12", EP) The EP is fine too, as mentioned by others. Space Dimension Controller - Journey To The Core Of The Unknown Sphere (Royal Oak) Kyle hall on the remix turning an average track into gold. Shadow People - Secret Society EP (Southern Outpost) Im trying to finish off collecting southern outpost material. Is patrick still on the list? if he is, man i apologize for sleeping on your label. its greaat stuff. best of luck on future endeavors whatever they may be. Martian 044 - Prayer Stick (Red Planet) Dream dancing. Martian, The - Meet The Red Planet (Red Planet) better 18 years late than never owning this record. Martian, The - Firekeeper / Vortexual Conceptions (Red Planet) Had it, sold it a long time ago, wanted it back for firekeeper. Martian, The - Particle Shower / The Voice Of Grandmother (Red Planet) same as above, but for particle shower Carl Craig - A Wonderful Life / As Time Goes By (Planet E) A wonderful life sounds nice, downtempo. Didnt think much of it a while back when i first heard it, but really it might go in a slower electro mix...well see... R-Tyme - Use Me (Trance Fusion) (12", RE) great old school detroit music Urban Culture - The Wonders Of Wishing (Eclipse Records) Remeber when i asked the list what the track was and answered it before anyone else? haha well i wanted it so i grabbed it. Matthew Dear - EP1 (Spectral Sound) (12", EP) I bought it mostly for the album artwork, but wouldnt have bought it without good music on the record as well. Laugua something and hammers are some of dear's best work imo. Octave One - Foundation EP (430 West) from back when Octave one was releasing music i like to listen to. I just cant get into their new stuff. This has grit (thankskent) and emotion. raw sounds, not super condensed loud whatever. look im not a hater on o1, I just dont get it...why did they chage something that sounded so unique and beautiful? AND NOW...the records currently in the postal system addressed to me: Scan 7 - Dark Days / Bright Nights EP (8311 Music) hard to find cut by s7, been waiting for it for a while. emotion of sound is promissing basedon clips. D-I-E* - Detroit In Effect (M.A.P. Records) one of the few maps that remain uncharted. i expect upbeat take no prisoners electro funk Digitek - The Return Of Mr. Sandman (Motor City Electro Company) Upbeat electro to play on my radio show. :) kind of similar to the shadow people release i mentioned earlier. Shawn Rudiman - No Hope. No Fear. (Technoir Audio) skin on skin. only the deepest techno beats from the guy. clips sound promising Sheharzad, Pedro Cali, Jens Lodén - Yalla Yalla / Misty / First One (Fine Art Recordings) the orlando voorn remix. (he's detroit enough!) zombie mutant disco or whatever its called sounds like great quirky down tempo electro. im expecting to pitch it up +8 just so it can mingle with slow electro tunes. ArD2 - 2084 The Mixes (Frigio Records) I think its arpanet on the remix (without checking) or heinrich mueller. Either way its limited. Here today gone today, and im not taking a chance on missing a release by this man. Various - Staedtizism 4 (~scape) the daniel bell track of star child. some really laid back electro stuff. I like., its on youtube... Kyle Hall - Worx Of Art EP 1 (Wild Oats) I hearted ur gurl :) Kyle Hall - The Dirty Thouz (Wild Oats) Dunk jiggla. and im probably the last guy to get it.. WHEW....thats it. hopefully this list did some good for somebody. Jason_ic loyal to discogs since '02! http://rejuvenationradio.blogspot.com/ more mixes on the way, just been busy with life.
