Re: (313) OT Fu5k The BNP

2009-10-21 Thread Nik Stoltzman
Seeing as we're discussing this on-list, please could someone explain to me why 
boycotting Nick
Griffin/exclusing him from a debate is the 'right' thing to do? From the 
opening few lines of the
article in The Times:

It’s an editorial decision based on a feeling for what the public think, and 
it’s correct. In
2009 people expect to make their own minds up, and don’t want to be cushioned 
from discussion,
however problematic.

Please can someone give me a measured response why this is not the way forward? 
I am happy to be
convinced otherwise. I have yet to be presented with anything that challenges 
my standpoint.

 Absolutely Lerato, which is why in this case I really don't believe
 giving the BNP a massive platform is the right thing to do, times are
 hard and we need to stick together rather than letting this scum
 spread their hate and divide us. I also feel the panel will blow it.

 Sadly, in Sheffield we have a large bunch of neo-nazis (WNP/BPP/C18/
 EDL), some of which are Griffin's hench men, anyone who wants to see
 what the real BNP are like is welcome to request a link from me
 because there's no way I'm putting it on a public list, the guys who
 run the site and be seen in pictures with Griffin and acting as his
 body guards.

Bristol which I know very well. Bristol is currently in the midst of a 
recession when it comes to
decent record shops, but there are some good nights going at the moment. Check

Re: (313) Must-see stop-motion video

2008-07-23 Thread Nik Stoltzman
Funnily enough, when I heard the track I immediately thought of Zombi too. 
'Surface to Air' is a
fantastic album and the track 'Night Rhythms' is a proper prog rock synth epic.

Recommended!

 There's a band i was in love couple of years ago, called Zombi. Their
 sound is pretty much in the same theme and orientation, but far
 better. Well... look at the name similarity. I don't wanna say that,
 but Zombie Zombie looks like a cheaper copy.

Weren't you raving about the last Burial album a few months back? Wouldn't

dubstep?. Not that it matters, I think.

When it comes to 'dubstep' I do not like it more or less than any other music - 
I just like good
music. When you say you don't like dubstep, do you have a particular sound or 
artist in mind? Or
do you literally not think much of a whole tranche of music much of which you 
won't have heard? ;)

Personally, I can't get enough of Elemental  3D - Blob at the moment. Love it.

RE: (313) Your last best detroit track

2008-04-09 Thread Nik Stoltzman
 Well that's the point Nik! :)

 'Bad' is subjective. I don't think those artefacts are in there by
 accident. Some people - not just Theo Parrish - record distortion in
 their mixes deliberately as an aesthetic measure don't they?

Sure, and I appreciate the difference between deliberate distortion for 
aesthetic reasons * and
due to bad mastering etc.

However, I have an OK hi-fi system at home, and it just sounds a bit 'off'. 
Like he was going for
the crunchy sound, but somehow 'followed through' ;).

crackling noise was
still there :(.

RE: (313) Theo Parrish in Adidas AdverT

2008-02-14 Thread Nik Stoltzman
I wouldn't say I love Adidas, but I do find this sort of advertising more 
acceptable for some
hypocritical reason. I think the best I can hope to do is maintain a healthy 
level of
self-criticism. I don't think I am in any position to pass judgement about 
selling out and keeping
it real (or faux).

That said, I do have to wonder why Questlove did that mobile phone advert 
(along with Madonna and
Iggy Pop). Shudder.


 No doubt at all.

 For some unfathomable reason I still feel a very faint flicker of being 
 uncomfortable with it
 though. Everything about it is done to make you feel that it's not an advert 
 in any way whatsoever
 - and I guess this is just the way things are done nowadays. The artist is 
 happy - his integrity
 isn't compromised and we get to see a glimpse of his craft and how he does 
 things, the advertiser
 gets nothing but 5 seconds at the end.and yet! I love Adidas and I love 
 Theo Parrish...It
 doesn't make sense.



Re: (313) Theo Parrish in Adidas AdverT

2008-02-14 Thread Nik Stoltzman
A couple of thoughts:

I sincerely doubt that the 313 mailing list demographic is sufficiently 
lucrative to warrant
creating a specific viral marketing campaign for. Are there other artists 
involved in a similar
series targeting other groups? I don't think this sort of campaign is expensive 
to produce
(compared to traditional marketing) but I don't see how effective it is either. 
So Adidas have
generated a lot of discussion (never bad) and perhaps even earned some grudging 
respect (also good
for them) but I for one will not find myself in a sports shop thinking huh, 
maybe I should by
this Adidas branded product because they are down with tha D.

But then, virals aren't supposed to work like that as far as I understand it. 
Do you remember DJ
Super Greg? There was NO indication in that video that it was anything to do 
with Jeans (wasn't it
Lee or something?).

N


 old guard = company- internal marketing dept- research firm - wack
 commercial actors

 new guard = company- guerrilla/viral marketing consultants -
 independent media creation professionals- people you actually know
 and
 care about.

 It's convincing K, but ask yourself the reason they've take the route
 they have and if you believe there's any love for you in the

Arg! Don't sell your vinyl to him either... check out the seller comments:

No payment received from buyer after 11 days.
No payment received from buyer after 102 days.
No payment received from buyer after 4 days.





 Hmm.

 This guy is also verging on getting banned from some 313-related lists on 
 Discogs and has also
 caused probs on the UR forum too.

 He seems to have a dispute with Pacou, to whom he often refers obliquely:

 (PACman Overall Universal)


 ...although I don't know what it is specifically.

 Unfortunate chap.

RE: [Fwd: Re: (313) Digital Djing]

2008-01-04 Thread Nik Stoltzman
Yeah, but an mp3 of vinyl crackle would be a compressed, digital approximation 
of the analogue
source, so (assuming this argument holds water) would still sound less 'warm' 
than a slab of vinyl
with nothing but, err, hiss and crackle on it. Like some uber-mnml m-nus 
release ;)

But anyway, this is getting waaay too zen for me.

N

 Perhaps playing a silent record is going to far :) ... but it's a fair
 point.

 Still, if your file's digitized from vinyl you would get all the
 benefits of the medium in the audio quality too, I guess?

 Just reading this
 http://www.cybernetic-broadcasting.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=12749p=3

 It got me to thinking about laptop preformances sounding so sterile and
 thin, especially over a club PA where you need to feel part of the
 sound...I wonder if playing a blank sided record through the PA at the
 same time would fill in that space that seems empty with mp3/laptop, so
 you feel that 'inaudible' record rumble?

 How much of the preceived audio loss of mp3 in a club is actually
 record/surface/player noise?



 Some interesting views from the artist-label point of view come up
 here.

  From a consumer's point of view I'd say that vinyl is not the only
 area of life where we are facing a transition from physical to digital

 objects. The same problems come up with things like books. I have two
 opinions on the whole thing. I buy quite a lot of vinyl (I'm not a
 collector as such but many of the people who know me would completely
 disagree), my house is full of the stuff. I'm also quite computer
 literate and have all my digital stuff well managed.

 As time goes on I'm less and less likely to buy vinyl, unless it's a
 must have release. I'm less tied to that physical object and the huge
 advantage to having everything digital is that I can have access to it

 pretty much anytime, there and then. Since managing all my music
 digitally (digitised vinyl and downloads) I listen to the music I buy
 a lot lot more and for the digital stuff the total cost of the music I

 buy has dropped considerably (for the same amount purchased).

 Now, I don't know how representative I am of the market for techno/
 house out there but I know a lot of friends who used to spend all
 their money on this stuff and now they've moved on in life (jobs,
 kids, houses etc) don't buy music at all because of the cost/space etc

 of vinyl. Because of digital I'll never get to that point where I'll
 stop so in a sense digital could be a way of retaining some part of a
 lost market.

 All that said I'll be very very sad when vinyl disappears but I am
 resigned to it going eventually.

Re: (313) Richie Interview

2007-11-15 Thread Nik Stoltzman
 I agree, I like Richie Hawtin sets that are a bit less-extravagent with the 
 gear (ie the
 mid-1990's).  For me, it's almost like he is concentrating on the technology 
 more than the crowd
 connection.  His sets were a bit more human, with a lot more fire back in the 
 day.

The Mixmag Live CD they mention in that article is still one of my all-time 
favourite mixes...

But everything was better back in the day, innit?

 I'd agree with that too. It was nice he tried something different and
 interesting though.

True, and I do occasional pick up 'concept' albums because I can find them 
inspiring, but one of
the acid tests of 'quality' (define that how you will) is how often I listen to 
it.

Hmm. I am not sure I agree with my own statement. I find Trout Mask Replica 
very hard to listen
to, but still maintain it is an amazing album.

Re: (313) Richie Interview

2007-11-14 Thread Nik Stoltzman
 the thing is, if i was going to gravitate towards either not mixing or
 having deejays play individual audio parts from a track, i would
 definitely be on the side of not mixing. but i dont think it needs to
 be that cut and dry. i think it is way too far to the other extreme to
 just be playing little audio bits. and i dont think any deejay
 anywhere is better at arrangement and composition than the producers
 of awesome records. if a deejay is having problems being creative with
 other peoples' records, that sounds like their own personal problem.
 maybe they should become producers themselves and put the work and
 effort into making quality tracks! it is not easy.

 tom


When I read the article, especially the bit about being able to select bits of 
tracks, I
immediately thought of 'Closer to the Edit' which (for me) actually diminished 
the tracks that
comprised it.

While some people do a great job of mixing fragments of audio together (and 
there are plenty of
amazing Ableton mixes out there which do just that) I think there is something 
to be said about
the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

I am not criticising Richie (other than saying CE didn't do it for me but is 
that his fault?) or
cut-and-paste mixing. There are just a lot of points being made which resonate 
with what I have
been thinking recently.

One side of minimal removes elements in order to produce something more. And 
then there is the
other side which seems to remove good stuff for the hell of it.

Re: (313) Richie Interview

2007-11-14 Thread Nik Stoltzman
 Interesting topic.  Is it because only small elements/one track out of a
 multi-track tune that the message (our invested emotion in the track?) gets
 lost in the translation?
 Compare/contrast this with turntablists who cut-up records.  The whole unit
 of the song is there if only for a few seconds.  We can recognize the
 entire tune based on those few seconds and it means something to us.
 Reminds me of the old game show Name that Tune where people got down to
 minuscule fragments of songs and could name the titles (granted quite a
 number were crazy wild guesses).
 What Richie does on CE is pulls apart all of our references and then asks
 us to have, or whether we have, the same vested interest in those elements.
 I can imagine that's why CE doesn't do it for some.

 MEK

I can't speak for anyone else, and sometimes can't even speak for myself, but I 
don't think it is
always possible (or worthwhile) to try and find rules and formulae behind what 
causes an emotional
response. Even if we could, wouldn't that remove the mystery and wonder of it?

When it comes to music, which for me is the ultimate emotional trigger (in the 
same way as smell
seems to be my ultimate memory trigger) I can find similarities and emotional 
connections between
two completely disparate pieces of music. I find connections that other people 
might not *, and I
am sure it is the same for them. So when you isolate things, perhaps you risk 
removing the core of
the emotion for some people.

Trying to relate this to the turntablism style of mixing and cutting-up... 
again, there will be
people who get enough of a fix on what they are hearing in the same way that 
there will be people
who can't stand it!

If everyone thought and felt the same way, life would be dull and homegenous. 
Diversity is what
makes life interesting.

Totally lost the thread. B*ll*cks, I am supposed to be working anyway!

Re: (313) have we run out of music?

 Not unprecedented. There are pieces that are centuries old that call
 for brass players positioned all over the auditorium/cathedral/whatever.

Sorry to hijack the thread (which, incidentally, is very interesting) 
temporarily, but this

It was written and arranged to be played in an underground grain silo. I can't

composer. Basically, the concept was a number of horn players arranged in a 
circle around the
perimeter of the circular silo, with the conductor in the centre. Each musician 
would perform
short stabs such that the echo within the chamber (which could be timed quite 
accurately) would
allow them to build layers of sound.

 I have some E2cs. The sound is nice but I use my Sennheiser 
 cx300s (be careful to get genune ones) much much more as the 
 Shures are incredibly tricky to install in your ear (and get 
 them in and out again if anyone talks to you)
 
 The Sennheiser's sound is not that different to the e2c.

Hannah got some of the Sennheiser cx300s recently which I had to give a go.
They're far superior to the Sonys I think, and the fit seems to be more
universally friendly. Think I'm gonna get me some. Probably just a gimic but
you can get them in eco-friendly(er) packaging if you order from Amazon.
Even if it is a gimic, it's the kind of direction I'd like to support when
slapping down cash.

(313) (OT) In-ear headphone advice

2007-09-19 Thread Nik Stoltzman
Hello,

I need some in-ear headphones to replace some old ones which keep dying on me. 
I don't want to go
too crazy - £80 tops. There are some Shure and Etymotic headphones available in 
that price range.
Does anyone have any recommendations. They need to be in-ear so I can run with 
them etc. I
wouldn't mind going over budget if they sound good AND last more than a year 
(unlike the other
Sony P.o.S ones I had...).

Any help would be welcome.

Re: (313) jazzy Strings of Life remix.

2007-03-29 Thread Nik Stoltzman
Yeah, I caught it too.

I am not sure how I feel about it. At first I thought the piano sounded great 
(and it does), and
really picked up on the intricacies of the melody and chord changes and had to 
respect the sheer
class and balls of the original. The meandering bass in this cover is spot-on 
too.

But... as I actually listened to it out of context, just as a piece of music in 
it's own right, I
couldn't help but feel it sounds like just another slice of hep swingin' 
cocktail-lounge
jazzssszz. Not that this style doesn't have its own merits (right time 
and place and all
that) but I find it too self-consciously cheesy.

Time will tell. Still really dig it though. Just not sure I'd buy it.

I love it.

The more I look at it, the more I find little details that stand out. Like
the logo and the time on the clock. It is like something from the book
'Masquerade': Solve the riddle to find a cache of solid gold S.I.D 12s
buried in a mystery location in Michigan.

Of course, it could be genuine. In which case one of my favourite labels has
just taken a massive chug of satan's c0ck. Either way, it is pretty funny.

Time will tell. Of course, the absolute silence from the (at least) two
people on this list who could give us a definitive answer is telling. I, for
one, am going to go to bed and think nothing more of it for now.

Actually, I am probably going to dream about solid gold S.I.D. 12s now.

Re: (313) Karizma - Twist This

2007-03-13 Thread Nik Stoltzman
 In light of Toby's comments about Ableton and Surgeon yesterday they
 discuss the changing formats in dance music and the use of CD
 players. Karizma says he has to worry less about knackered needles
 and can plan ahead more with his mixes and 'flow' better and do
 madder things with digital.

I think that both analogue and digital have their place. I don't see that it is 
necessary to chose
one as being better than any other - not saying that you are, but it is an 
argument that
continually comes up every now and then.

The one thing that I feel quite strongly about though is the visual performance 
of mixing with
vinyl. I really enjoy watching someone working the decks. That said, when I saw 
Karizma he was
working the EQs like a nutter. It was great.



Re: FW: (313) $tinkworx and Convextion

2007-03-12 Thread Nik Stoltzman
Mixing good artists with bad PAs makes me sad. Like eating fillet steak and 
eating it well-done
with ketchup.

I hear what you are saying about ear damage... I have started wearing earplugs 
regularly now. Only
some cheapo ones, but they still make a hell of a difference. I am seriously 
considering buying
some custom-moulded ones because for a couple of hundred quid it is definitely 
worth it. Some
clubs I have been to actually have little earplug-dispenser machines... how 
thoughtful :)

 Strange, I thought the one thing that spoiled the gig a small amount 
 generally but Convextion's
 set particularly was the PA.  It's
 not that I didn't think it was decent, the promoter had obviously done the 
 right thing, spent his
 pennies and got a decent rig.
 However the sound was so harsh it was almost painful.  Maybe this wasn't so 
 noticeable at the
 front (it was an unusual set up with
 the main speakers at the back at the other side of the room from and facing 
 toward the artists,
 with only their monitors up front)
 but it was at the back (or in the middle where I was).  I don't know if 
 they'd not done a sound
 check or - if as it seemed - there
 was just nobody looking after the sound but it spoiled things for me - some 
 amazing Basic Channel
 sounds which I should have been
 jumping to were making me wince instead.  Just far too much top end and 
 although it was really
 loud no feeling of real bottom end.
 I left after Convextion (which was amazing and I did enjoy despite this moan) 
 because although I
 wanted to see Pendle Coven who were
 on last (really wanted to see them) I was worried about my ears.  With good 
 cause too as they were
 ringing for several hours
 afterwards.
 Here in the UK we are for some reason supposed to constantly put up with poor 
 sound.  It just
 doesn't seem to get the attention or
 be as high up on the list of priorities as it does abroad.  Maybe this is a 
 false impression I
 have generated by being lucky in only
 visiting some places with really good sound when travelling - but I doubt it.

Can anyone recommend a halway-decent controller for use with Traktor? I have 
been meaning to get

I agree totally. If I am going to spend money on earplugs, I am going to get 
custom-moulded ones.
There is still the article on Max Duley's site about his experience - he has 
contact numbers and
everything. Very thoughtful.

I think severing my own ears so that I could get someone to buy me custom-made 
plugs in the US
might be construed as a bit drastic, even by my standards.


 I see the joke in what you're saying but you do need to have them made for
 you.  Tom's won't fit anyone else's ears except for Tom's.  That's what is
 so cool about those custom made ones.  They're molded to your ear canal and
 the process is pretty funny to go through.  They inject this pink foam that
 expands and then sort of gets a bit more solid (but stays sort of Nerf
 football like).  For a few seconds you're deaf because they do it in both
 ears.  About as close as you want to come to being deaf.  They make the
 earpiece from that mold (and a small disc-like filter fits in it) and you
 get to walk out with the mold if you need another pair made.

 it's the best you can get imo.

(313) Karizma - Twist This

2007-03-12 Thread Nik Stoltzman
Karizma - Twist This (R2)

I haven't heard this mentioned on the list yet...

I heard Karizma drop this a couple of months ago at Cargo. The place
erupted. Then I found out what it was. It is apparently on R2 Records,
though I can't see the details on their site. 

Check it out. It has the sickest build up and when it finally drops, I
challenge you to not to start moving. Sweet bassline, great beats and some
really really crisp production. I listened to it on the way to work this
morning with the windows down and the sun rising and I tell you what - it
felt like summer was here already.

Just my opinion though. You all might hate it :)

N

P.S: Actually, if you check here you will be able to listen to it... between
35-40 minutes in IIRC. Link will work until Wednesday or Thursday.

(313) Bleep43

2007-03-10 Thread Nik Stoltzman
I am not very good at reviewing nights, but I'll have a go.

First of all, a bit round of applause and a 'thank you' to the Bleep43 crew
for a great night. Toby: It was nice to finally meet you after many years of
me lurking on this list. Actually, I'd to say hello to all the people I met
last night.

I arrived in time to catch some of Orphan's set - a really nice dubby set
but with an edge. There was a nice warm embryonic feeling to it in my
opinion. I was torn between just letting the bass flow through me and
jacking it whenever Bea brought a beat in. The crowd were really
appreciative too which was cool. Very nice set, and a very nice person -
thanks for the hospitality on NYE (in case you read this!). Deeptastic!

$tinkworx... oh man. Well, to repeat what Robin said yesterday: Ridiculously
good. Actually, to disagree slightly with Robin - I found it very melodic.
In fact, that is what gave the set the kind of staying power it needed to
keep me really into it all the way through. I was never sure what I was
going to hear next which is what does it for me these days. Polyrhythmic
melo-delicious!

Convextion. Speechless. OK, that is all kinds of useless as a review. Let's
try for some adjectives: deep, beautiful, melodic, funky, complex,
emotional, invigorating, euphoric (sorry - I wince when I use that word in
the context of music because the word that I associate it with is 'trance' -
but there weren't no glowsticks nor psychedelic swirling dolphin noises
here). What gave this set the edge was the PA. It keep the clarity, whilst
delivering the power that it deserved. It brought out the kick that it
needed to have the room going for it! Oh, and killing the lights was a good
move!

Surgeon. Well, it was thoroughly rammed in there by 4am. People packed in on
the floor, people crammed up on the stage, people swinging from chandeliers
on the ceiling (that last bit might not be true). And it managed to get even
darker. The only illumination I recall seeing was a USB light attached to
Surgeon's laptop! Bass. So much bass. So much bass, Tony! My eyeballs were
malfunctioning, you rotter. Summary: Dirty, but in a good way! Delivered all
the goods that you'd expect from one of his Ableton sets. Still one of my
favourite DJs at the moment.

My head really hurts now. Must... drink... tea... Is anyone else hungry? I
am going to have a cooked breakfast. Just thought I'd share that with you
all. 

Peace.

blows me away. It
may border less on the electro/techno side and more on the broken

is definitely melodic and sometimes electonic and hopefully you'll dig it!

 Doing a bit o'shopping and I'd like some suggestions.  Would like to find
 some deep melodic techno stuff - Delsin, Arne, etc. with some jazz
 influences - O'Brien, As One, etc.
 Something overlooked or not on a label that usually does that?  Anything
 that combines electro with jazz without being electro-jazz?  Faster but
 slower? ;-)

2007-02-01 Thread Nik Stoltzman
 Good music makes friends everywhere it's heard; I don't believe that
 listeners are prejudiced against music just because it hasn't been
 marketed to them.  I think that people just don't get to hear a lot of
 things they might like.

I may be going off on a tangent here...

I definitely agree with your last statement. But if only it was as simple as 
people being
prejudiced (or not) because something has *not* been marketed to them...

A couple of weeks back, when DJ Drama got busted by the RIAA I forwarded to 
some of the guys at
work. I got a reply along the lines of The death of hip-hop wouldn't be so 
bad. All that macho
bullsh!t and guns and sh!t It was clear that this was prejudice against 
the entire genre
because of the way a certain aspect of hip-hop *has* been marketed by the media.

So, after my initial reaction (irritation), I resolved to try and do some 
edutaining - but that is
another story.

I am glad I got that off my chest :)

fact that *I* had to
restrain myself from correcting *you*. I wouldn't have corrected you because 
there is nothing to
dispute. 'Word is bond' makes perfect sense, though I must confess I am 
surprised that you do not
object to the obvious grammatical error in such a phrase.

Trying to reinforce your position by citing historical examples of it's use is 
irrelevant in this
context. It is a false argument: You are attempting to discredit my position by 
showing evidence
for your own. This is not a logical conclusion - there is no causal link 
between the two. You
should debate more. I think you need the practise.

As for inferring that I am ignorant (No, I am not saying you are calling me 
ignorant in case you
do not grasp the concept of inference) on the basis of your argument; It seems 
like you are
becoming irritated because I do not subscribe to your point of view. I believe 
a psychotherapist
would see this as an indication that you feel an overwhelming need to be 
accepted.

Were you not shown any love as a child? Would you like a hug?

WORD IS BORN!

P.S: Tom: In the words of Radiohead: You do it to yourself, you do, and that's 
what really hurts.

 thats because word is bond is not stupid meaningless things that
 people say. its been used by the 5% ers and iirc the black panthers as
 well. its not some meaningless crap. its the idea of your word being
 something of importance. i mean you guys can go on and on with your

(313) New 'Strings Of Life' version...

2006-12-10 Thread Nik Stoltzman
(apologies if this has already been mentioned, but I don't think so)

I though I'd heard just about every version of Strings of Life going... 

Strings, strings, strings. Come on in Strings of Life lovers. We got
original strings, Juan Magic Atkins remix strings, minimal strings, vocal
strings, cheesy strings. And now, tonight's special:

Francesco Tristano's interpretation:

http://clone.nl/item8162.html

I'm a bit disappointed by Apparat's... Silizium is such a quality EP I was
hoping for greater things. Mind you, it is hard to tell from the short clip
on the Clone site.

Has anyone checked this release yet?

Hi,

 

Just thought I’d let you all know I’ve just noticed that Mary Anne Hobbs
will have a liveset from Convextion on the show on the 3rd of Nov (it’s now
at 2am). I am trying not to get too excited because I suspect it will be an
edit of the live-set from the London gig back in September. 

 

Anyway, just passing on the message.

(313) Killing time in San Francisco

2006-09-05 Thread Nik Stoltzman
Hello list,

I have managed to arrange a couple of days in San Francisco on the company
time. Oh yeah. It is going to be my first time there and I was wondering if
you could point me in the direction of some good record shops. I am not
after anything in particular but some places that have a good selection of
house, techno, electro, experimental, dub, electronic, hip-hop, detroit,
jazz, soul…. I dunno! Surprise me.

Also, my last night in S.F is Friday the 15th of September. It would be a
shame to go all that way and not check out the clubs. Any interesting
happenings going on?

Feel free to hit me back off-list.

Thanks,

N

capabilities of the mp3 player.

 Yep - I've got an iriver - it's got a line in and you can direct encode
 to mp3, ogg, wma, wav - at any bitrate you wish.

 Hi Marcel,

 I dont have mine any more due to some over zealous
 tidying whilst drunk but an iRiver can record as a
 .wav or as a .mp3 and I think you can even select from
 a variety of compression settings.

Seconded.  

I am loving 'My Beauty In The Moon' at the moment. It hits me with a
full-on nostalgia trip. It somehow manages to sound fresh and new but
familiar at the same time. Quality.

Cheers,

I never considered that maybe it was region 1 only. Cool. I will get on
the case. Btw, it is as good as I hope it will be? I am hoping to get it
for Christmas...

Not sure if there are Region 2 versions of this. Region 1 only I think.

I got mine in Piccadilly.

 Don't know if they still have it ( and what region it was) but my
 recommendation of this morning did at one point - let me know how you
get on
 as I want this myself - didn't get it straight away as I didn't have a
DVD
 player, if Piccadilly no longer stock it let me know who does.
 
 On list with this as it seems general interest (OK UK general
interest!) to
 me.

Piccadilly gets lots of mentions on here - rightly so as 
they've got to be one of the UK's finest.  In fact judging by 
how much international mail order they seem to do they've got 
be up there in global terms!
Yet I'm lucky enough to live right round the corner.  At this 
time of year they produce an interesting booklet with tons of 
charts and suchlike they give away in the shop (or have to 
charge mail order customers a penny for as their miserly 
online ordering software hasn't read Christmas Carol and 
won't give anything away).  In it one wag mentions me as a 
Saturday part time staffer in a festive jest at how much 
time I spend in there on that day each week!

Anyway here it is:

Exactly. It was good, not great. But they took, what, five years to make
it!? I guess I just had high expectations. Worth renting, not buying (I
rented a copy from Netflix).

RE: (313) DE9 Transitions

2005-12-02 Thread Nik Stoltzman
The X-Mix huh? I dunno - my fave mix has always been the Mixmag Live CD.
Quality from start to finish.

I prefer the Transitions mix to 'Closer To The Edit' - I always felt
that the concept of DE9:CE was stronger than the final product with that
one. I also think the DVD mix is better than the CD. However, I think
the main issue for me is that I feel Hawtin has been substituting
techniques for soul for a long time - this is just my opinion and I am
not dissing him at all. For me, I prefer a more raw energy than
something that feels like it is the carefully-considered execution of
some pre-existing blueprints. The clicks, ticks, beeps and creeps have
their place and can generate their own funk - but I'm probably more
inclined to side with Martijn here.

You can have too much of a good thing. Moderation is the key.

 I gave this new mixalbum by R. Hawtin a few good listenings over the
 past few days and i do not know what to think of it. 
 He did a great job in cutting, pasting, mixing, morphing and
 restructuring all the trakcs and putting them togeheter again
 But i cannot get rid of the feeling that it all sounds a bit dull and
 sometimes boring...i mean it just goes on and on in the same 
 Tempo, and there's clicks, hicks and ticks everywhere but i do miss
some
 peakpoint stuff...As said, great job in what he did
 and the way it's been put together but some more action would have
made
 it more exciting for me.
 
 Do some of u have any thoughts on this mix???

Did you hear the CD or the DVD? The end of the DVD has some very nice
finishing bits, which may tie things together for you better??? I've
only heard/seen it once so far, and not all of it at that, but I
definitely thought it was the best of the three (I've never really had
time for the other two). I'd probably have to hear it again to say if I
thought it sounded flat overall, but on my first listen, I didn't have
that impression, and it's *precisely* what I would listen for, as I
thought that was precisely the downfall of the previous two. I was
actually quite impressed! Best recorded Richie Hawtin mix since X-Mix 3
if ya ask me. I also thought his track selection was a lot more
interesting than the previous ones. That's a whole lotta K Alexi. :)

(313) Replacing stolen music

2005-12-02 Thread Nik Stoltzman
My car was broken into recently. The f**kers screwdrivered the lock,
nicked the stereo and - wait for it - stole my F***ing CDs. I can't even
remember everything that was in the car. The tragedy is some of it was
some unreleased live sets from my archive. Anyway, bits and bobs keep
coming back to me... I just remembered that I lost a copy of Steve
Rachmad's 'Emerging' mix album. I need another copy because driving on a
motorway at night just isn't going to be the same until I do.

Does anyone know where I can pick up a copy? 

Cheers,

N

P.S: If you know of anyone selling a car stereo and a selection of
quality techno albums including the above, let me know. Hold them down
until I get there.
