Haye! > So the question is... does anyone else hear that similarity or is it just > my imagination?
IMO, in some things you might say that it resembles, but just when Rolando produces the 4/4 stuff, a little bit more "tech-house" oriented. But Rolando has skills in other areas of Techno and Electro too, so you may say he's an overall player, while Octave One are generaly more focused in the style that they almost defined :-) Andrew Duke has an interview with Laurence (i think) on Cognition in which he says they're gonna start producing different stuff from what they've been doing up until now. Care to post the full URL for the interview, Andrew? > ... AND... does anyone know how tight the UR folks are with Octave One? Very tight. Or so it seems. Last time (was it the first too?) the UR crew was in Europe(UR London 98 at the Cloud Nine Club), they brougth some of the Burdens too, including Laurence. Oh, and Lance, one of the Burden brothers (from the second set of children of the Burden parents) makes and mantains the website for Submerge, UR's distributor. The Burdens and UR seems to be a long term relationship, even more consolidated with the Revenge of the Jaguar CD on 430 West. > [Please -- I hope I'm not sticking my foot in my mouth here ... I'd kick > myself in the ass if I found out that one of the brothers was (unbeknownst > to me) -- in UR. heh] Not quite, but I guess you could consider Lance Burden's work in Submerge as Resistance Activity. Since I remembered the UR London, I think there was a web page wi pictures from that night. Would anyone care to point me to the right direction or send me the pictures of that night? Never heard so many good music in so little time. Hearing Jupiter Jazz in a club got me smiling for three days straight :-) Lay "no hope, no dreams, no love, the only escape is Underground" http://barkingcat.org/counterforce
