I have "Cruisin" I think, not too good with track titles but I liked both that
and the track on the other side. It to me is really classic sounding Detroit
techno, not at all too mono, but just the right deepness while still having
enough drive for the dance floor. It's a kind of sound I think of as 313 but
don't hear so much.
I thought the other sides of the Fix Flash on electrofunk were kind of cool
too, though definitely kind of older, had this real nice ghettotech feel but
with a lot of substance.
Unfortunately haven't really had cash to buy more of these records this year,
but was actually thinking about trying to pick more of his stuff up. Would
love to hear any track by track reviews. Well I should probably just go to
submerge eh?
Oh and his set at Movement was HOT despite crap sound.

And yeah some people do mention new techno records here but if no one
responds to that people stop mentioning them because they think this
lists doesn't care about that.

I've noticed this too KJ. Maybe if anyone wants to remedy this, I might
be able to offer the opportunity! :-) I'm interested in this series of
Orlando Voorn releases on Ignitor. They have a peculiar history, as far
as I can see. In fact, I hadn't recognized the 'Basic Bastard' project
as a Voorn one until they started to appear on Ignitor (the label deal
with Submerge.) He had had a number of releases under the BB tag on
Spiritual records in the mid-90s. I passed on them because I thought
they were little more than bangin' nonsense. When 'Cruisin' appeared
(the first BB) on Ignitor, I was intrigued because it was the first
Ignitor track (I think) after one of my favorites of last year,
'Diligent'. But when I heard it, I was surprised because it was really
linear and far less sophisticated a piece than 'Diligent'. Still far
away from the average 'mono' tackle but not all that special really,
imo. It now turns out that apart from 'Cruisin', the BB tracks are
pretty old.
It'd be nice to know what some other people think of the series. I think
this is a worthwhile topic because it's about a veteran 313-related
artist with a solid body of past work, a lot of which I *do* like,
despite my wariness about the Basic Bastard material.
