(313) ...meanwhile, back in Detroit
Okdokey- haven't got time for a biggie but here's a few Detroit related things: New Mark Flash on UR is an interesting departure for him- very west london broken beat/Jazzanova style stuff New Mills- Alpha Centuri- he's been a bit hit or miss over the last couple of years but this is a hit for me. The Good , The Bad and The Deep from Rick Wade on Yore- double album of Rick's trademark deep house grooves- couple of dodgy trumpet solos here and there but excellent summer grooves throughout. Dan Curtin 10 on Delsin- phew! What a scorcher! Bernard Badie 12 on Mojuba- harking back to the old school sounds of Cajmere, this is some REAL house music! Electronic Warefare 2.1- perviously only through the Submerge site, now more widely available- excellent mix by Skurge Not from strictly from Detroit but check out the Alpha 606 12 on interdimensional transmissions if you're after advanced Electro. Really nice to hear Rythmatic's take on the early Kevin Saunderson sound on the Network re-releases- amazing how spares and clean these tracks sound after 15 years- simple but very effective stuff. Stuff I just like: Syclops album on DFA- Maurice Fulton crosses every genre known to man with this double album- can't think of a single reason not to buy it- its fantastic. New Alex Cortex thing- wasn't a big fan until a couple fo years ago- he's growing in stature all the time now though Trelik represses- Make A Move by Minimal Man on Baby Ford's old label get's a very welcome second airing- been playing this for years- it's ace. Losoul on fire as usual- remixing on Sonar Kollective Move D- Drone on Modern Love- thought it was a bit dull at first then completely changed my mind. Sorry these reviews are a bit short! cheers Jason
Re: (313) Space Disco
It's very usual do find country song patterns in technopop. Maybe it's due to the idealization of the crooner figures. Stephin Merrit said that too.

This is a re-cut of the disco classic Night Life put our by Blair, one of the original members of the Blakbyrds. Not space disco, but it comes close. Good stuff... Quoting Kowalsky [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I posted here a mix a recorded, recently, with a lot of space disco and italo disco tunes. I love space disco originals, and was suposed to like Lindstrom's tracks. But they sound kinda generic in the end. Honestly? I prefer some of the Cloud releases or even some Italians Do It Better releases.

Another Station is my favourite song of his - sublime - though everyone rates I Feel Space. Todd Terje too is up and coming and interesting. That crew is quietly eccentric (Todd is into pop like Madonna's La Isla Bonita) but they're making some lovely melodic electronic music that I could imagine appealing to fans of the more melodic side of techno (Mayday, Martian, Inner City etc).

RE: (313) ...meanwhile, back in Detroit
yeah, mark flash 12 is good - been quite surprised by the last few UR 12s (footwars, billeebob) - good to hear a label drop something unexpected also, the new gary martin 12s on motech and MG are good too - got a nice dj3000 mix cd free with the motech one and the new kenny larkin - don't know if it's been mentioned here.. and also, a few nice vinyl reissues from kraftwerk (no electric cafe though...) and got the chance to get a couple of my favourite albums on vinyl - superfly what's going on all i need now is for rob hood to get back to releasing a load of vinyl, like he used to and i'll be happy!

Re: (313) ...meanwhile, back in Detroit
I haven't head any of these yet, but I anxiously await the arrival of the new Dan Curtin. He hasn't released as Planetary in years, so I am quite interested. That Bernard Badie...nice. Gunna have to order this one too. I recently picked up the new Echospace[Detroit]. Supposedly Intrusion is an artist that isn't Rod or Stephen, but I'm not buying it. The Phase 90 remix on there is killer. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Okdokey- haven't got time for a biggie but here's a few Detroit related things: New Mark Flash on UR is an interesting departure for him- very west london broken beat/Jazzanova style stuff New Mills- Alpha Centuri- he's been a bit hit or miss over the last couple of years but this is a hit for me.
