Re: [313] Jeff Mills Every Dog Has His Day CD
Just a question, which Every Dog... are you talking about? I don't recall any 12. There was a CD (I dunno what was on this one) and two vinyl albums part 1 and 2, which were gold and silver respectively. I think rather than lazy they sound a little old, compared with futuristic-sounding stuff like From the 21st. I don't mind, though, because I think the music is excellent. -Dave --- werner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Not to take the wind out of your sails, but I found Every Dog... vol. 2 (the 12) to be quite a lazy production - both in intent and execution.

Re: [313] Jeff Mills Every Dog Has His Day CD
I agree about the quality but in a funny slight on Mills it is fortunate that he is a futurist as he seems to release tracks that are about five years old anyone. Nighttime World Part 1 takes the biscuit for me in terms of emotion dripping techno albums, it has a bit of everything too. By the way is it me or does one of the tracks on NW pt1 (I think it is Untitled) have a ghost of PurposeMaker's 'Casa' on it faintly in the background?

Well, that's a little harsh though you're entitled to your opinion. The cover notes for Every Dog Has Its Day state that the music is designed to ease impatience and restlessness, but I guess it doesn't work for everyone in some programatic way.

Mills has had two faces as a producer since the early 90s. A lot of the material on Atlantis, and the underrated ambient b-sides on Axis sound like a prelude to the Every Dog Has Its Day records. The interviews when the records came out indicated he spent 5 years working on them (if I recall). I think the result was a move from tracks to songs (both of which have their place). I love both sides of what he does. Sometimes I think one mark of a good producer is being able to generate a wide array of reactions to their music, creating divisive camps of fans, reflecting their distinct tastes. If that standard has any value, then Every Dog Has Its Day marked a leap in Mills' artistry.

Re: [313] Jeff Mills Every Dog Has His Day CD
I don't know what Werner is on about. My review came from about a week of heavy rotation at work and at home, and I found the tracks to be lush and spiritually nourishing. 'Lazy'? Err, as a producer I can tell you they're anything but. I liked parts of Metropolis, but was underwhelmed by 'The Other Day.' A friend of mine (another producer) said of 'The Other Day' that this sounds like stuff I come up with that's kind of cool, but I don't even bother recording. Which is probably a bit harsh, but when I compare 'The Other Day' to 'Every Dog' it sounds pretty sketchy and provisional. Given that it's Mills, it's a sort of 'sex and pizza' thing -- even when it's bad it's pretty good. I'm not a collector or a sycophant -- I pass on Mills records all the time because they just don't jazz me. 'Every Dog' just seems like a deepening in every dimension to what Mills has been doing all along. Your mileage may vary.
