It's refined more than anything else. A lot of this new German stuff (poker flat etc) is quite acidy in many ways - it has more affinity with Chicago, but also retains a minimal aesthetic. Yes, it's really nothing new, but compared to the torrent of horrific bland tech-house that is released every week, it's v.pleasing.

Yes Ken, i agree with your opinion on the series. I finda that all in all it is a very pleasant and groovy set of releases, but definitely nothing new under the sun. Some tracks have an almost "trance" (good trance btw) undertone to them, as do alot of new releases lately. It seems we are on a verge on a "trance-influenced" trend, as i am starting to note in many of these minimal/minimal-house etc releases, with lots of melodies and harmonics. i also agree with you on the ideal world part, i would have picked them all up, even if only to have the complete series. take care fab ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Odeluga" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Fabrizio Nahum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 02, 2004 1:22 PM Subject: RE: (313) Donnacha Costello?............ > Ok, I'm late to this series too but I got to listen to them all (I think) on > Saturday.
