Re: (313)kdj 2 track EP's SUCK!
Just to clarify - I haven't heard the record yet - I'm reserving my own judgement until that time. I would also like to point out that this record has not hit any shelves here at all, due to the fact that it doesn't look like it's hit any of the distributor's sheets. Why are so many good records only pressed 100 copies or so? (although most of the time Perth gets a decent portion of these). Is this 'underground' or just snobbery? The other moodymann stuff on the shelves is great... 'ya blessin me' is pretty cool, the pandemonium record is EXCELLENT, and if you missed out on shades of jae, that is available. One thing though, the other side supposedly has 'the setup' on there - that is a different song! 'The setup' as plays on my original shades of jae/setup EP is completely different. Who knows what's going on?

Re: (313)kdj 2 track EP's SUCK!
dave: the kdj on moods and grooves is a one sided 2 track 12. the second track is a cut up of a ten city track (memory escapes me re: which one, but i posted re: this before) and the first track is played on show 596 of Andrew Duke's In The Mix (archive on cognition: http://techno.ca/cognition) if you'd like to check it out in RA or WMP. hope this helps. andrew duke :) Dave Clark wrote: Moodymann is notorious for doing the single sided record. I'd agree with the rest of the crew here - I quite like the idea of an absolutely excellent track all by itself, plenty of pressing space for some fat bass. If the song is good enough, that's all that matters. Also, i like to think of it as a concept thing - don't clutter up a record with filler - just give us your best shot.

I'm loving all these represses of theo / kdj etc that are out... picked up the three chairs with kdj, theo and rick wilhite. The moodymann track on there - Gawdamn An absolutely killer.

Am I right? Nomenclature aside, I'd rather buy a 12 w/ 2 loud, fat-ass tracks than a 4-song EP where only one or two of the tracks are any good. We've all been there (and I've probably put a few out). a. PS. Assuming anyone on the list actually listens to techno anymore, the new Sender Berlin remix EP on Tresor is a motherfucker. __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Maybe it is as good, maybe not, but it doesn't matter. Standing alone, both tracks are 1) different enough in feel to serve two seperate functions in a mix, which I like much better than these original with 3 crappy mixes packages for 12 you see all the time, and 2) good.
