Re: (313) swayzak
I really liked Bueno/Fukumachi, the first Swayzak release (1997). And they've put out quite a variety since then, many of which are at least pretty good. When they came to town here in Portland about a year ago, they played a great live set and I had a long talk with them afterwards (which also involved visiting my office and admiring my record collection, which always goes a long way with me :) I haven't heard the current stuff but it wouldn't surprise me if they picked up the Joy Divisionish sound for the moment -- David Brown is from Scotland so I presume the Mancunian influence is pretty strong. But what really drives these guys is dub -- I know they were big fans of Adrian Sherwood and the On-U Sound fraternity, which has also been a key influence for me (the on-u mailing list, which I still am on, was the first one I ever subcribed to on the Net, back in 1989). So I would recommend (to Sean and anyone else) to check out their other stuff as well. fred

(313) How to kill electroclash (was: swayzak)
Instead of accepting the term "electroclash" (which has obviously allowed this thing to go on way longer than the music's 15-minutes of fame one-note humor deserves) why don't we steal a term from architecture and call it "Electro Revival" in the breathiest upper-class british accent we can muster. sort of like a house -- you know, it's a tudor Reh-VI-val, dee-ah.(Remember, a tudor revival bears about as much similarity to tudor architecture as electroclash bears to the 80's as many of us lived it...) I think the term "Revival" might be extra fun too, for Detroiters -- if intoned with a fake British accent, it might have the amusing effect of reminding folks of the dreadfully affected pseudo-british accents some locals took on during the early-to-mid 80's yeesh. two weeks of that kind of treatment, and electroclash will be gone.

RE: (313) swayzak
Dirty Dancing is definitely missable. I remember liking Himawari a lot when it came out (2000?) but haven't listened to it in ages so possibly not as outstanding as I thought at the time? Having said that my taste has changed (expanded in a positive way I like to think ; ) quite a bit since then so that's perhaps why.

Well, I grew up in the 70's, and tbh a lot of the stuff that was punk rock didn't really ring that true back then either.

Re: (313) One last mixer question
I really like stanton mixers. I have bought two this year one for me and a friend, both the SK-2F. I find there design to easy to use, with med. size knobs, nice smooth faders, and a very clean sound. I also like the way the EQ cuts and how powerful it is; I used a numark before. I recomend this mixer to everyone who is looking for a two channel scratch style, so I don't see why the three channel version would differ. also there price is unbeatable; I picked one up off of ebay for $150 +s/h scotto lansing, mi. > As tempted as I was by the PCV-275, its lack of an adjustable crossfader > curve put me off in the end.

As tempted as I was by the PCV-275, its lack of an adjustable crossfader curve put me off in the end. In my quest to find something that can support the more hip-hop inspired mixing style of booty with my typical techno/house mixing activities, however, I came across this, the Stanton SMX-501: http://www.stantonmagnetics.com/alpha44/mixers_smx-501.asp It seems to have pretty much every feature you'd want from a "battle" mixer, but at the same time has things like effects sends which would allow me to get all self-indulgent while making four-hour mix sessions comprised solely of two copies of C4 blended into one another. So this simple question is for the pessimists, nay-sayers and half-emptiers of the list: why should I *not* buy this mixer?

(313) swayzak
it seems many of you were confused by my Swayzak "Electroclash" remark yesterday. I was refferring to the Swayzak "Dirty Dancing" album on K7. I dont know much about Swayzak, but I'd heard nothing but praise for them for the longest time. Imagine my excitement when one day a bunch of new Swayzak records showed up in my mailbox. I couldnt wait to finally hear what all of the hoopla was about regarding these guys. I put the records on, and track after track, nothing but Joy Division sounding stuff.

Well, Stakker is pioneering video artist Mark McLean who originally teamed up with Brian Dougans (Humanoid and half of FSOL) on this work that originally soundtracked an early foray into the art of visual stimulation. Rephlex have painstakingly tracked down the original video and remastered this lost treasure for a new generation to enjoy. For the record this is original acid rave UK style, a listen to this shows you what the likes of Kosmik Kommando and Squarepusher were brought up on. There is an art to getting funk out of a small silver box and a lot of today's artists could learn from this. It reminds me of a time of innocence and enthusiasm and a feeling that electronic music could go anywhere. For all the acid teds and heds out there, and for anyone who loved the original Stakker Humanoid this is a document of those fresh and exciting times.

I find this is already how it works for me. I don't mind spending a lot of time sifting through Real Audio samples at home, because I find it allows me to filter out my impulse purchases at the shop. It's never fool-proof, but with so much amazing music coming out, I will at least make sure I don't overspend on stuff I don't want, even if I still can't get everything I do want. I think the scenario you're describing is pretty accurate. I don't foresee the death of vinyl any time in the next 10 years, even with Final Scratch arriving on Mac and gaining acceptance. A couple of years ago people were heralding the doom of vinyl via new compression formats, and we're still not seeing them emerge with anywhere near the speed they were predicted. mp4 was 'just around the corner' three or four years ago, if I recall... If anything, the new encoding technologies are being developed faster for audiophiles than for piracy, see: SACD and DVD-Audio. But most importantly, a sizeable chunk of people are still going to seek the thrill of cracking open that brand new slab of wax, checking out the hidden messages in the matrices and throwing it on the platter for the first time, booming from ortofon + technics + crappy mixer + nice speakers. >So, anybody need some fly underwear?

I hear you. I guess I feel the trouble with that is whether or not some folks pay for a download, others will not once its out there for the taking. There's possibly less incentive for paid downloads when you factor in the sound quality loss of compressed audio. Maybe not though cause paid downloads are still cheaper than CDs, eh? The title performing artist could take on a more strict meaning if it becomes very unprofitable for labels and musicians to release music. Recordings for free, performance for fee? I had similar ideas about labels taking on a somewhat different role of a promotional network or something, still allowing artists to concentrate on their art. But, I doubt it will go that far 'cause like you said J.B., there are collectors & supporters out there. Perhaps we're tripping over nothing & it will be business as usual.

(313) YMO tip
I know I already mentioned this, but if you're considering catching the YMO bug, or are just a bit curious, the best possible introduction to the band is to get one of their concert DVDs. The versions they do of their tracks live (especially in the Hurrah concert) have sooo much more energy than their albums. You can get most of their classic songs from multiple albums all together with the bonus of getting to see their surreal performances and lots of cool old synthesizers. As far as the vinyl goes, I'd recommend multiples x infinity, and their S/t. Technodelic sounds much less unique to me (kinda reminds me of Metamatics), and rather depressed. --
