I'm also liking those two Eddie Fowlkes things on City Boy - Detroit
Beatdown Vols 1&2.
yeah? i havent heard em yet....there's a lot of records on cityboy i've been
really tempted to buy, except that often an otherwise great song will be
"ruined" by an annoying sample...trying to be a party anthem or something
but overdoing it...i'm a huge eff fan tho..look forward to checking these..
anyone else picked up some good stuff?
listened to a couple more things last night...
yotoko - wet ink cd/lp (delsin) -- yeah! maybe i'm not a broken beat fan i'm
just a yotoko fan...this is one of the very best albums of the year i think.
really nice deep spoken word intro, twisted hiphop beats, theo p style
house, straight up classic detroit techno, broken beats, crazy beats, dope
"parallel universe-album era" analogue d&b...just extremely satisfying and
enjoyable all around...the promo blurb says the album is about "all the
different stuff they like" and realizing that different styles relate to
each other and interconnect very naturally...and that to them it's all still
"techno". really nicely said..the cd is 12 tracks, 4 of which (heaven &
earth, all creation, mad daze, all creation remix) are previously released,
altho the version of mad daze on the album is a little different than the
one on the all creation remix 12". and i know i've heard "karma soup" before
in a mix.??..anyyways thanks to marsel for the promo cd :) i'm gonna have to
get the vinyl version when its out!
legowelt - tower of the gypsies (bunker) -- i've been a fan (and friend) of
legowelt for ages, but even so i think the records he's done lately (under
the legowelt name ;P) have been getting a little samey...the a-side of this
record is really one track and 3 beatless interludes..the interludes are
short and nice, but the main a-side track i cant even listen to it reminds
me so much of previous (better) tracks..:P...the b-side is great
tho!.."dance of the moonbird" is a realllly great tense, shivers-down-your
spine italo soundtracky thing, followed by "the dimension door" which is low
bpm dark (but fun) disco/italo with a great grinding john carpenter (assault
on precinct 13 style) bassline..then a little outro track..nice
jt
