Thanks Janos!

That site is most helpful, hell 'Parallel' is just by Bernd Maus, and while the 
on/off stuff and the Gadgets Special 'Be Real' release DO sound alot like 
Carola, the stuff on the Gadgets label sounds completely distinct.  In fact 
there's only one release after Gadgets 9, called 'Sky' and it's full of melodic 
big room techno!  Perfect.

 Gadgets were awesome in there first few releases, Parallel is still my

 by the extremely hard to find LP (which is Various Artists but contains
 some
 Gadgets material)
 'Users and The Gadgets' feat Gadgets, Sasse, Question (M. Carola), Mr.
 Hazeltine rmx'ed by
 Mannequin Lung and more.  Unfortunately since Gagdets Blue (their last
 really good release) the releases have become glorified Carola takeoffs
 utilizing the same sound and feel as some of the Question tracks. Gadgets
 is
 (aka Corrado Izzo owner of i220 records), find some of his older stuff if
 you like Parallel alot, anything below Gadjets 9 is good, the On/Off stuff
 is definitely solid but more in the Question vein again.  In fact almost
 all
 the Gadgets records I do like are colloborations with Bernard Maus (of
 Maus
  Stolle fame).  To get ahold of their backcatalogue I would guess at
 Hardwax (www.hardwax.com)

RE: [313] FinalScratch package price

2001-11-01 Thread msmith00
It's truly too bad the BEOS got bought out by Palm, especially since all Palm 
plans to do with BEOS is let it sit and rot.  They only bought it to destroy 
any competition that BEOS might have been to their Palm OS in the embedded 
market.

Who knows how the BEOS market will turn out?  I hope for the best.

 Damn that's wack...no Mac Version
 
 
 as joost says, the beos DOES run on  a mac.  so no, finalscratch doesn't run
 
 on the mac os.
 
 
 However, to be honest, you don't want to run this system under windows or 
 mac os ANYWAYS.
 
 
 one of the most amazing things about the beos is its natural audio latency 
 time.  STANDARD this OS spits out audio at THREE MILLISECONDS.  3 ms.  Think
 
 about that one more time.  That means the ONLY time a dj is going to really
 
 noticed any latency is when he's doing some heavy scratching, and minute at
 
 best.  When you look at windows with its 35ms on a great day latency, you 
 see why this system needs to be run on be os.

 Weird is Green Velvet's middle name, well, actually it's Alan, but ya know
 what I mean. ;) He is calling it techno punk.

'techno punk' wow that's a revivalist term I haven't heard since The Prodigy, 
Atari Teenage Riots and the movie 'Hackers'.  He's already been there, his 
schtick is running thin.

 There are a lot of retro sounds in there which I kinda like.

That makes two.  Felix Da Housecat beat him to it with 'Silver Screen Shower 
Scene'.  But then again everyone's been slamming the Germans for producing 80's 
inspired glam-tech for ever (Internation Gigolo DJ's anyone?) that is until now.

La La Land is boring, to me it is the techno equivalent of D12's 'Purple 
Pills', another scholock production sensationalizing drug use.  I can't comment 
about the production because I would probably really like the track if he 
droned on about something other than drugs.  There's gotta be a million 
interesting stories to tell out there, that involve drugs (ie.  Noosa 
Heads 'Mushrooms', Green Velvet 'Flash'). La La Land isn't one of them.  Though 
I'm sure Mr. Velvet could tell us a fair number.

RE: [313] micro house

2001-10-04 Thread msmith00
Micro House is another one of those great Wired terms, defined as a cross 
between the glitch, noise shaping, field recordings, and general ambience that 
is usually termed as 'microsound', and minimal house.  This has already been 
termed 'glitch' by the many, long before the Wired dinosaur came along and 
tried to further pigeonhole what has become probably the most pigeonholed genre 
of music there is thus far: techno.

Dan Bell's Tresor release only touches the surface of this genre, and Herberts 
wonky mix on Tresor works more with booty and straight up techno than with 
glitch.  A good primer would be Mille Plateaux's Clicks  Cuts Vol.2 which 
many microsounders hate as it is the definitive forming of micro-house, 
something they thrive to stay away from.  More unmixed material would be 
Gramm 'Personal Rock' on Source, Jan Jelinek 'Loop Finding Jazz Records' on 
Source, anything by Farben (who is Jan Jelinek and Gramm).  Peter F. Spiess 
makes good with his interpretation on his last album for Klang called 'Crystal 
Polymorph'.  Auch (Eckhard Ehlers) takes his microsounds and applies them to 
the minimal 4/4 on his album 'Kiss Tommorow Goodbye' on Force, and the 
remixes 'Remix Tommorow Goodbye' with remixes by Sutekh, Marz, Farben and 
others portrays many sides of glitch ranging from beautiful jazzy glitch 
(farben), dark moving glitch (sutekh) and crazy grinding glitch (marz).  Auch 
also has many other releases on AudioNL, and Force.

On the west coast the San Fran explosion that brought us Tejada, also brought 
us Kit Clayton, Sutekh, Twerk and Safety Scissors, all purveyors of glitch and 
I might add all mighty fine artists in their own respect.

Canada too is up on glitch, there's a tonne of stuff pouring out of Montreal 
right now (the new Force/Mille Plateaux/Position Chrome office is there now).  
Jetone from Montreal's new album Ultramarine is out, and receiving great 
reviews.  Check the force inc. site www.force-inc.net 

good mixes in the vein of microhouse; I believe there is a farben set on 
www.dublab.com (check out the burnt freidman mix on the same show, excellent 
stuff).  dublab put out a great cd earlier this year, so many good tracks, well 
worth the money to help support them.  Also check out anything put out on plug 
research of late voices in my lunchbox or intermissions are both really good 
cd's.  Ricardo Villalobos also just put out a mix cd called Love Family Trax  
it's not as good as seeing him and Martin bang it out live, but its certainly 
up there.

I could go on for hours, I've been playing this stuff for years, its not new, 
its just got a new name :)
