yeah ken, picked up a few of techno (and electro) 12s recently (and boy does this list need to discuss some music!): Freek Seven on New Religion....go to the a side (the one with the one tarck on it)...brilliant techno of the non-hard variety really slick without being overproduced. Critical Phase on New Religion, the voice of phase track on this just plane rocks. has an electro leaning to it with lots of chopped up bits and pieces and vocodered vox. very very nice....the flip is also really good, has that old 808 kinda sound to it...something i'm liking at the mo (the new Kirk Degorgio also rocks but it only landed on me dorrstep yesterday and i haven't given a full blast yet) deejay Nehpets on public housing....amazing mix of jacking chicago techno and r&b (it works beleive me!)...kinda like a hard version of what the Footwork label are upto... more elctro-ey Polarius on downlow, lofi sounding and more chicago house sounding than elctrodisco (but somewhere between the two)...808 noises nice shuffley vibe of most tracks...nice D.I.E on clone, the men you never see pt2... detroit electro of varying bpms with a couple of tracks with that vocal effect like Land of Confusion but stuttering, amazing sounding. Rick Wade on Music is, ok so the main tarck is more rick wade house...which i love but the flip has an electro track that has a similar kinda vibe to house that rick does but has a high temp and is erm...electro so from the above u see why i very rarely review stuff (also i'm at work with no vinyl).... cheers robin...
