UR always continue to surprise. Although it's not a major leap away from anything they've done before, it shows that they willl lay down quality tracks on releases. Personally I don't think they've done anything particularly jawdropping since "Codebreaker" (excepting Jaguar) but everything is of a good solid quality.

But that's another story, and I guess that in the house world it is equally difficult to find the gems amongst the loads and loads of rubbish pouring out the record shops each and every week. > > RD > > On Tue, 4 Sep 2001 14:53:46 +0100 (GMT+01:00) Stewart Caig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Sure, UR have put out housier tracks, the whole X2X series is wicked, but there has always been a certain electro funk undefinable techno vibe to even there more jazzy cuts, whereas Hardlife, for me, is out and out house and very different from anything else Mike has put out on UR. Dont get me wrong, I dig it as a quality house cut and know that Mike puts out a variety of styles through various projects (Hipnotech), but I was just kinda surprised to hear a track that sounded so housey and pretty far removed from what I've always expected from UR. It'll be interesting to see what they put out next. > >Stewart > >----- Original Message ----- > >From: "Jongsma, K.J." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: "'313@hyperreal.org'" <313@hyperreal.org> > >Sent: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 14:41:50 +0100 (GMT+01:00) > >Subject: RE: [313] Re: UR - Hardlife > > > >> > >> > From: Stewart Caig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> > I know Ron Mitchell sings the vocals, but I'm not sure about > >> > the production.
