Agreed 100% with all that, and the stuff above it that I snipped out. Even 'Got Me Puzzled' (which I think is wicked) has not really found its way into many of my sets lately. Mostly just Domu stuff, and Titonton, but they're really doing their own things, and Domu might even be getting a bit similar to himself, but I'm just not sick of it yet. > >Someone please yell at me if any of these are grave mistakes - > before it's > >too late! ;) > > i feel you on your passes. i hope youre feeling that new mahogani > more than when you picked it up. that tune is year end top 10 > material for sure. what a beautiful record. Yeah. It has grown on me, but I'm not sure that I'd rate it quite that high personally. I just think it's really nice and definitely beautiful - but maybe it's just not different enough from the pack to really knock my socks off. I'll definitely be playing it for a while though. No complaints with it really. :) > and i picked up that > ron trent rmx of the amp fiddler, and while its probably my least > favorite amp related record thus far, its still pretty nice. Thought this sounded nice too - but just not different enough from the standard Ron Trent style to justify a purchase. Think I'm going through a 'bought too many records in the last three months and want something really distinct' phase maybe. Tristan === http://www.phonopsia.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think >I may be getting tired of it. yeah, im not sure how i feel about broken beat stuff right this minute. perhaps im just being unintenionally reactionary, but it seems like theres a huge push behind it right now without any new stellar tunes to back it up. afronaught and g force spun here on friday, and while they were good, they werent mind blowing. and as for records that have come out, i guess its just like everything is sounding sameish. there hasnt been any tunes that crush any dancefloor like "hold it down", "loose lips", or "this aint tom and jerry" anytime recently. i was massively dissappointed with the bugz rmx of the phuturistix track after a few listens, and alot of their other stuff has just been mediocre. ive been feeling john arnold's stuff alot more than the west london cats recently. perhaps its because his stuff sounds more raw. the west london stuff is rapidly approaching over production IMO. some of my favorite broken beat records of the last year have been the twisted funk releases simply because of their rawness. recently it seems to be the concensus of people i chill with all the time that broken beat is best mixed up with other genres, and i feel like it might be because theres just not enough stellar material to play unless you dig out every anthem or semi anthem the scene has produced. >Kinda cool, but I dunno. Didn't sell me for some reason. Way more into >that Kelley Polar. ill be getting my copy of the kelly polar tommorrow. if that rmx is the same one that was on the verve rmxed LP, then yeah i was totally underwhelmed as well. i guess the concept of metro area is better for original material than for remixing. >Someone please yell at me if any of these are grave mistakes - before it's >too late! ;) i feel you on your passes. i hope youre feeling that new mahogani more than when you picked it up. that tune is year end top 10 material for sure. what a beautiful record. and i picked up that ron trent rmx of the amp fiddler, and while its probably my least favorite amp related record thus far, its still pretty nice. tom andythepooh.com
(313) Stuff I Passed On
New stuffs that looked really promising but didn't quite make it in my basket. All sounded good, but for reasons below, I passed: Dego & Kaidi (feat. Face & Vanessa Freeman) - Ain't Nothin' You Cant Feel - 2000Black Natures Plan - Somewhere Beyond - Far Out Both of these have that characteristic West London vocal chorus. I think I may be getting tired of it. Kinda heavy after a while. Really like the beats/bass on the house version of Natures Plan though. Izzi Dunn- Big Picture Remixes (Seiji /Mark Force/Special mix ) - Fireworx Lionel Hampton - Vibramatic - Crippled Dick Hot Wax Both nice, but unessential Masekela, Hugh: Mama (Metro Area remix) (Verve US) Kinda cool, but I dunno. Didn't sell me for some reason. Way more into that Kelley Polar. Tons out right now, and lots of it is really hard to get a sense of through online clips. I was totally on the fence with a lot of stuff, but will have a full report on the actual acquisitions soon. Not a ton of house that's really pushing my buttons in the last couple of weeks, other than a load of new Joshua and that Kelley Polar. Lots of techno and 'techno soul' though (seems to be the new term on the block - and for once, I think it fits)! Someone please yell at me if any of these are grave mistakes - before it's too late! ;) Tristan === http://www.phonopsia.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED]
