We also checked out the Detroit techno exhibit upstairs. I'm glad Cliff (I think that was his name) brought it to our attention. Great account! It's fun to see how everyone's experience is different.

And the immigration regulations for Europeans wanting to do temporary work in the States are just as stringent, by the way.

Re: (313) Live sets (was (313) ping)
Going on ten years now, but Theorem sticks in the mind as one of the most satisfying and sonically involving live techno acts I've witnessed, partly due to the warmth of personality/sound he generated. No flash, all the fireworks were in the music. As mentioned by others, Octave One/RNG can be incredible live from my experience, due to their understanding of the dynamics of the genre. Pacing like a good dj set, but jacked up to a truly moving level both emotionally and physically.

(313) Aaron Carl's Latest EP (Free Download)
Just a heads up to help spread the word. It's available at his site: http://www.aaroncarl.com/ Here's some details from RA: Detroit producer Aaron-Carl has decided to make his latest EP available via his website, and it won't cost you a penny to download. The collection, entitled Electrevival, is comprised of two exclusive tracks as well as three new versions of previously released material. Speaking on his website in an official statement, Carl says that the most important thing I want you to do is ENJOY it! Some of these songs are new, some are not. But ALL of them represent various points in my life and careerthe different paths I've chosen, where I came from, where I'm going... You get the point. Of the new tracks featured, one is a remix of If There Is a Heaven by fellow Detroit residents Ican, whilst the other is a hip-hop collaboration with relative unknown Humility's Hand. Backed by new versions of Aaron-Carl's bona fide anthems Tears and Down, the collection is an insightful look into the work of the stalwart producer, who has previously released on labels such as Metroplex, Subject Detroit and Mahogani Music.

He did a QA after and spoke of how, while he loves old film, he feels more comfortable with digital technology for music-making as analog is less reliable. That said, he uses both. I noticed that there were lots of Gary Numan fans there and everyone was discussing the Yaz(oo) reunion. I also saw a few dudes around 20 in Presets style stovepipes. ;) Interesting experience. I think you can buy the score to TCM on his website - definitely worth checking. He was also talking of how cityscapes inspire him - the brutalism of London architecture in the '70s inspired his Metamatic songs more than any contemplation of the future. He came from the gritty North to London in the '70s and it was real culture shock. That's all I recall for now!

Re: (313) New Recloose
That Petone gig sounds like it had some fine chemistry between the players. He's playing soon with his full 8-piece live band at a little club in the heart of K Rd here in Auckland, 4:20. What about the pleasures of musical humour/irony he's stylistically mining in the new material on this album? I'm trying to think of other Detroit techno/electro acts who arguably might do the tongue-in-cheek thing apparent in 'Perfect Timing' compared to say other eras. First thought of the DGP, Aux 88, Gary Martin...anyway, here's more of Matt's thoughts from the interview: It is kind of a joke. The thing is, you listen to it and the whole album isn't an '80s funk record. There are definitely three, four, maybe five tunes that are influenced by that era. Think about it, those songs that influenced it ['Perfect Timing'] had to be taken with a grain of salt as well, cause they're pretty ridiculous. Look at Prince, look at the sh*t he's wearing, or what he used to wear. You think you're meant to take that dude totally seriously? No! There is a bit of irony going on there, Parliament, all of it. There is definitely somewhat of a comedic element going on.

Re: (313) new recloose album
I've heard some of it -- superb stuff. Here's a review from the local paper: Recloose: Perfect Timing By Rebecca BarryHerald rating: * * * * Dance music may not be as fashionable these days but those still into its jazzy, funky strains will find loads of good times on the fourth album from Matt Chicoine. The Detroit native, who settled in New Zealand seven years ago, has been embraced as part of the local music scene, defying his name with music designed for socialising. A song like Deeper Waters, with Joe Dukie, Warren Maxwell and members of Fat Freddys Drop shows Recloose can balance the techy sound of his homeland with the laidback vibe of Aotearoa. No, it's not quite perfect timing for a release that could have been a summer slammer five years ago. But Recloose will revive your taste for noodly, bottom-heavy party tunes. Steeped in late 70s, early 80s funk, and coloured with bongos, brass and squelching Moog keys, it's a beautifully produced album that pays exquisite attention to detail, whether it's his consistently inventive beats, fun, spacey effects or clever use of vocal talent. And damn, he knows how to get his groove on, from the punchy nu-jazz of Can It Be, the deeply funky So Cool with Tyna, or the skittish Emotional Funk. Even when the lyrics are no more than a doo-doot-doo motif (Soloman's Alive) you'll find it difficult to sit still, which is just as well as he's about to set out on national tour with his band.

Re: (313) Luke Slater
Slater's album Fluids Amniotic under the name Morganistic (Input Neuron, 1994), is a bit of a neglected classic to my ears. Marbles still sounds incredibly powerful on the right system no doubt. You can hear the influence of Robert Hood et al. on some tracks, but he invariably does his own jacking minimal thing with it to great effect. http://www.discogs.com/release/1076 The remix of Kenny Larkin's Loop 2 he did for RS deserves special mention as well for its timeless funk killer strings. http://www.discogs.com/release/25993 --- Wes http://www.soundworker.net On 10/18/06 7:32 PM, David Gillies [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cyclone Wehner wrote: Luke Slater can be a bit hit or miss for me, but I have to say I always loved his Wireless album - some very eerie sounds, very space documentary. I played it last night and enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the album before with the song Love. Wondered what/if the essential Slater tunes for 313 listees would be? I definitely wasn't feeling his last electro project, though I'm not adverse to some of the new pop electro (love Kelley Polar, Goldfrapp, etc) I'm not a huge Slater fan, but I agree, Wireless is a pretty cool album. One of work of his that I really like is The 4 Cornered Room by Luke Slater's 7th Plain. http://www.discogs.com/release/85674

Re: (313) Oliver Ho
Ho's music has a real sense of history embedded in its grooves, like a lot of the best Detroit techno. Some real mental energy spirit to complement the sensuality of the rhythms. That inner track flowing on from the Pure mix of Magick (Meta 19) always slays me with its sampled voiceover: I go with my feelings, you know, I love music...the only thing that makes me play continue (in) this business is my love for music. Sounds a bit like Miles in a good mood. Anyone have any idea who Ho's sampling here? http://www.discogs.com/release/252723 Wes

For the others I think being able to say that you will buy one of the masterpiece of all time techno productions and will never regreat this. That's some major kudos you're claiming for Blue Potential. One thing's for sure: it's highly unlikely we'll see a hoard of imitators leeching off this particular brand of accomplishment, thank god. Mind you, original sonic thinkers like Hood, Beltran or Craig with orchestra would be something to hear. I'm certainly looking forward to checking BP out. Hope it's edgy dangerous sounding -- a bit demanding on the eardrums -- as I hate to think of Mills in 'pipe slippers' mode. Wes
