RE: [313] easy listening interpretation of Kraftwerk songs
Hi, Cenor Coconut = Atom Heart = Atom TM = Geez'n'Gosh = Uwe Schmidt Recently he released XXX album as Atom TM feat Tea Time - absolutely wicked latino/easy listening/gangsta rap (!!) hybrid with hispano-teutonic xxx vocals. There's one track on it which samples Ice-T's intro to Home Invasion - all this suck my motherf***in' d**k stuff over excellent digital beats. As Geez'n'Gosh he, also recently, did a superb religious album My Life With Jesus, more serious, less funny, abstract digital sounds over clinical beats, more in the vein of Sutekh and other PowerMac stuff. He is also one half of Flanger, who did excellent album on Ninja Tune's sublabel NTone - second album out this or next month. The other half of Flanger is Burnt Friedman peace, ]m[ maciek sienkiewicz
Re: [313] Let's Talk Techno
The best stuff in jungle isn't necessarily all the big names. Remarc (Don FM, Dollar Records) was the best old skool junglist I ever heard (djing and producing) but you don't hear about the guy anymore... You mean Remarc who did some slamming tunes for Suburban Base like 6 years ago? As far as I know, he is making speed garage (hmmm) now... And first T-Power album was indeed excellent... but I find 2nd, Waveform a bit boring... nevertheless, his new LP will be out next month on London's Botchit Breaks, new sublabel of Emotif/BotchitScarper posse. Speaking of drum'n'bass, this music seems to be biting its tail for at least last year - believe me, I can tell how the tune sounds like by only looking at the vinyl's grooves... And some of the smartest producers are moving away from d'n'b cliches - like excellent stuff by Nubian Minds (Colin Lindo, still making d'n'b for Reinforced as Alpha Omega) or Domu (Sonar Circle, also on Reinforced). And anyone heard the new Photek LP? It has some dope deep vocal house tunes, some relaxed downtempo with analogue synths and only ONE d'n'b track... On the other hand, Roni Size's Reprazent will have new album In The Mode out Oct. 3rd and it's 100% hard and funky d'n'b with lot of rapping: one track with Method Man, one with Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against The Machine, but the real standout for me is the track with The Roots' Rahzel - he did whole drum'n'bass track with all breaks, basses etc. with his mouth!! I interviewed Roni yesterday and asked about d'n'b copying the same cliches he replied, that it's still a very young genre and that the producers will surely move it to the next level... in 10 years time... We'll see... for now, some latest/soon to be released d'n'b albums by forward thinking artists: TOTAL SCIENCE Advance (C.I.A.) KLUTE Fear Of People (Certificate 18) and of course new Guy Called Gerald on K7, but it has very little to do with d'n'b... peace, ]m[ maciek sienkiewicz There's loads I could mention too but Amon Tobin is wicked, especially the older stuff. T-Power is another Amon Tobin-esque producer whose Self Evident Truth of An Intuitive Mind ranks as one of the best jungle/drum 'n' bass albums ever IMHO. He's a world apart from Goldie and his sell out mates. l8r, Nick (Dj Pacific:)

Archive Records are wicked... Nubian Mindz stuff always has a detroity electro edge... dark and funksome... like it:) and there's a new label from the Total Science guys called Skindeep - I have first two releases on it by TS and they are excellent, a bit like Archive stuff but more electronic than live jazzy feel... there's also 3rd 12'' out and it's by Domu, but I didn't get it yet... I never actually liked a lot of Roni Size's stuff much. I much preferred Dj Krust, one of his proteges, very mechanical sounds... sounds like a foundry on plastic:) yeah, Krust is a real warrior, I'm following him from Genetic Manipulations EP, and recent Decoded is very good as well - for me better than the album, as there are no vocals on it... TOTAL SCIENCE Advance (C.I.A.) KLUTE Fear Of People (Certificate 18) Klute... deep and of course new Guy Called Gerald on K7, but it has very little to do with d'n'b... Guy Called Gerald is aiming at the mainstream dance market so I hear... Some of his new tunes are nice but Black Secret Technology was better that's it! BST is definitely one of my all-time faves... cya later, Nick (Dj Pacific:) __ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages get email alerts with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com/
