a.e.s. are art forest, eddie fowlkes and santonio echols. 'music in my head' is taken from the "detroit technosoul" cd compilation. it was operated by eddie flashin' fowlkes for tresor, back in the underrated techno soul days around 1992-93 besides the 12" sampler from detroit technosoul album on tresor, there was a 12" out on pow-wow (a ny based label) with on a side three different mixes of "music in my head". the b side features three different mixes of "macro" by eddie fowlkes, a track also feature on the compilation. to my knowledge it's one of the rare collaboration featuring art forest, eddie fowlkes and santonio echols all together. there were some 12" and tracks in the same vein on such labels as made in detroit, eff records (one of eddie's labels), cyren america (santonio's label) or alf records (art's label). some sounds dated, but others are underrated classics. santonio and art forest did some great stuff on cyren america. i think it's time to have a real talk about contribution of such labels as cyren america, eff records, serious grooves or artists as eddie flashin' fowlkes, santonio, art forest to 313 sound!!! 20001 time for a techno soul revival ? :) disk.system http://www.d2b.org/EAR
