Re: (313) Mu on tigersushi [was: Bjork Recommendations...]
Yes Maurice produced it. i thinks it's maurice toghether with his wife. heard the album @ the rushhour store a month or two ago, where mr delsin was playing it to his friend sturmy archer who was well impressed i might add, so i guess he can give you more of a detailed report. it's a weird album, impossible to point towards a certain genre, to describe the sound. though from what i recall one 12 was extremely experimental/weird, and the other 12 was a bit more leaning towards 'normal' house music/disco format. i guess you'll just have to take a good listen to it yourself, as i think it's rather hard to explain. jurren _ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

A few years ago I was at a gig by Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (excellent, excellent dj who deliberately keeps a low profile, a lot of people don't even know he's also a member of that group). He was playing a beautiful (and wide-ranging) set and the knowledgeable crowd was being very appreciative. Then suddenly, the first finger-nails scratching-down-a-blackboard-black-board-like screeches of Bjork pierced out of the speakers as he decided to push the boundaries even further. I winced. As I glanced around, I noticed many people doing similar things, some people started to leave the floor. With consumate skill though, Guy picked up the sentiment in a flash and the track never materialized. Moral of the story: be as wide ranging and as experimental as you like, but pls don't inflict lack of talent masquerading as something else on to people who have a slightly more discerning ear than the average, as it just won't work! k -Original Message- From: Cobert, Gwendal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 9:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Org Subject: RE: (313) Bjork Recommendations...

OK, I'll come clean - it's me. I'm the only person on this list who can't stand Bjork. Imo she's not original in any way: Bowie, Bush, Joplin, Nico et al all did what Bjork does first and a lot better + unlike Bjork, they could/can sing. People taking her songs and marrying them up to structures with a more dance floor-orientated sensibility, doesn't disguse the fact that they're bloody awful compositions in the first place. Therefore, my Bjork recommendation would be to listen to something else. My (not so) humble opinion. k
(313) Plasa Technology Exposé !
As promised I'm back from 2 days at the Plasa light and sound show @ earls court, london with a roundup of the new kit I got to play with and some pics for you to dribble over ! First the pics... :) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/users/mbl/plasa/ Quite an interesting year this time round - loads of new products and the reps seemed quite happy to talk me thru everything and let me get hands on with the kit :) CD Decks with scratchy platters seem to be flavour of the moment - in my pics you can see the new denons with motorized platter [and some attatchment so you can stick a 7 to the top of it for that 'realistic vinyl feel']. These were pretty sweet actually - you can play 2 tracks off the same cd at the same time so you only need 1 of them to play out. My biggest issue with these is they look a complete nigthmare to use if vaguely inebriated [the guy on the stand took about half an hour explain the features and I was already lost - e.g four looping sample banks which you can nest within each other !?]. One thing that stood out about this badboy was the ability to flash it with upgrades from the denon website [apparently it initially wasnt developed with mp3 functionality but this is a flashable upgrade]. On the 2nd Day I went which was a trade day rather than public day I got a chance to play on the new technics cd decks..all I can say is *wow* ! Check the pics - these babies have the same motors at 1210s and similar construction platter. They feel really solid and sound great. Loads of nice stuff on them like the ability to sample the deck's output [eg I did some scratches, then sampled the scratches and played them back out] other niceties included braking speed pots, a platter free-wheel mode, scratch-aid effects [like a one-way mode for stabs] and reverse-play throw switch. The rep says these are gonna weigh in 700GBP when theyre released - this seems to be the ballpark figure for most of these next gen cd decks about to hit the market. After some sweet talking I managed to grab a go on the final scratch demo rig to fiddle with the new traktor interface. This is really sweet and seems a lot slicker than the old i/face. They seem to be really focusing on practilicalities for the working DJ with features like a playlist generator tool which shows you relative bpms of tracks and total mix time [useful for planning those recordings or for radio jocks]. They seem to have a new type of fs 12 too which is lighter weight vinyl for scratch manipulation and is broken down into separate timecoded sections for easy navigation and I think so u can make your own breaks etc. The rep claimed you also now jack an Archos or Ipod into an f/s laptop , mount the drive and use the tracks straight off the device which sounds pretty handy. A company stanton now work with have developed a laptop stand to acompany f/s which keeps your laptop above the decks at an angle off the table [sales pitch: prevents you spilling beer on the laptop!] :) Numark had some fun stuff on their stand this yr including a device which looks like a record deck with a widget that scans the platter on it. The deck actually takes cd's via a tray in the front and manipulates tunes off the cd using the platter. To me this seems like a hardware version of finalscratch and I don't massively see the point. The rep pointed out the cost aspect as a major point - two of these @ 700GBP a piece is a lot cheaper than 2 1210s + laptop + finalscratch. Saying that I think fs gives the DJ way more flexibility and you can carry it in your bag - but it ll be interesting to see how these numarks fare when they hit the shops. Pioneer were showcasing two new battle mixers on their stand this year. There are two models - both provide some intersting features such as adjustable x-fader resistabnce [flick across for scratching or tactile resistance for smooth fading] and adjustable fader lag [not sure what this does tbh!]. The more expensive of the two models has a touchpad for kaos type effects and menu driven configurastion of the mixer. The unit has 50 odd effects which can be assigned to the faders and scratched/messed about with. There is also a foot pedal control for effects and session connectors for battle teams etc. Unfortunately pioneer refused to let me play wioth this so I cant tell you much else about it suffice to say its now on my shopping list !! :) I had a quick visit before I left to the Korg stand and managed to sneak a look at some new things they've come up with. The main product beeing pushed was a new 'entracer' video kaos pad. This does allt he stuff the audio pad used to do but also takes in a video feed and as u can expect lets u wiggle around with video fx using your finger. This was hours of fun to play with but it weighs in at the 800GBP mark and the demo model really didn't seeem to have great res or frame rate but saying that its easy enough even for a 7yr old to get to grips with. Korg also had a valve based sample/music workstation.

RE: (313) Record Time www site...
He should let Kompakt know that their US distributor won't sell direct to him - it might make them re-think who is representing them in the US. Is it just me or is there sort of a monopoly/cornering of the market on distribution in the US for most European/UK labels (and even US labels - Submerge not included in that) my local shop is finally dealing with some smaller distributor that readily supplies Detroit techno and house labels (lots of them smaller labels) and for the first time in years there is finally a bin that is pretty well stocked with Detroit techno. Last time I saw this many Detroit records in this shop was probably around '97-98. I don't know who the distributor is but they are doing a fine job. Oh yeah, they've got Detroit related t-shirts now too. MEK [EMAIL PROTECTED] ast.net To: 313@hyperreal.org cc: 09/09/03 11:33 AMSubject: RE: (313) Record Time www site...

I'm not sure. it was friend, he did order some wax for me and it was nice getting the music at a discount. he has an ebay store, but i think the us distro wouldn't because he did not have a tax id number? this is something he is looking into now.
