[313] Harmonia Re: [313] Re: Scape One

2002-05-02 Thread Mike Taylor

Hello,

The Harmonia stuff is not that hard to track down really. I know that Music 
Von is still in print in Japan. It is one of those things that comes down to 
tracking down specialist retailers. You might very well pay through the 
noise for bootlegs, but the audio can be obtained. A good retailer for this 
stuff in Detroit is Stormy Records.


http://www.stormyrecords.com/

The Cluter material was good, but I have always had a soft spot for the 
Cluster and Eno records. After The Heat is an album of weird angular 
grooves. It is a very German, Tutonic rhythm if you know what I mean. There 
are echos of this album in a lot of the stiff German stuff that has been 
coming for the last few years. Very groovy, but not. ;) Cluster and Eno is 
more atmospheric. They are both good, but very different records. I still 
need to get my hands on Harmonia 76, which is Cluster, Michael Rother from 
Neu! and Brian Eno.


My copy of After The Heat is a German LP on Skyy (sp Sky?) and I am not sure 
if it has been reissued or not. My copy of Cluster and Eno was reissued 
through Gyroscope on CD.


One of the best musical experiences of the last couple years was seeing 
Roedelius play piano suites at the DIA. Very lovely soft piano music. If you 
ever get the chance to see him live, it is in your best interest to do so.


Take care,
mt

Cluster were the oddly named Moebius and Roedelius - and often Michael
Rother of Neu! and, once upon a time, Kraftwerk. That trio were also
Harmonia. Check out Harmonia's "Musik Von...", "Harmonia Deluxe". They're
both effin' ace but far too tough to track down. I've heard a fair bit of
really good Cluster stuff (though the fluctuating line ups of so many
interconnected bands is quite confusing) and '74 was a bit of a "kosmische"
creative peak.

And another tune I forgot to mention:

Louis Digial & Laszlo Kovaks - Change Position EP (Footwork)
The people behind the London party I plugged earlier with the debut release
on this new label from the Detroit/London IS12 collective, distributed
through Ideal. Four strong tracks of hard-hitting, dancefloor-aimed,
R&B-biting house material which will find a place in the box of many house
and techno DJs alike. To be followed up shortly by 'House Ballads Part One'
12" from Detroit's unsung hero Mark Flash - definitely a label and
collective to watch this year. You heard it here first :)

More info etc. soon at www.footworkrecords.com

Cheers,

Tom

Yeah, this is great too - one of the most floor-friendly Delsin releases to
date I reckon, proper moody techno.

Yeah, I got this today - not particularly awe-inspiring I have to admit, but
not that bad either. I need a few more listens I think (he says
diplomatically!)...

Some other recent recommended purchases:

UR - Inspiration
Great stuff of course, especially 'Transition' which is going to detonate on
dancefloors in a big way...

Los Hermanos - Birth of 3000
Really like this, both sides great, been playing it a lot over the past
week...

Recloose - Cardiology album (and Ain't Changin' 12")
The album is fantastic, and looks like it's going to do really well for
Matt, which is excellent. Ain't Changin' is out now too, the strong opening
track from the album, and a great broken dancefloor burner. Still in two
minds about the C2 mix of it though...

Tiger Sushi - More GDM Vol 1
The Cluster track on side A is a Krautrock thing from 1974 which I haven't
really got my teeth into yet. Side B has 'Present Pretence' from John Tejada
which is simply superb - like a cross between his beautiful downtempo stuff
on Defocus and his housier output. Highly recommended.

Fabrice Lig presents Mauler - PGM 300/400 (Keynote)
Finally got my hands on this excellent release on list-member Otto's great
label (thanks Boomkat.com!) and very very nice it is too. More chilled and
dubby than his Soul Designer work and featuring a great remix from Duplex -
you can't go wrong! Fabrice comes up with the goods yet again, and congrats
Otto on releasing another blinder!

Ataril - Junction/Oh Ljuva Sommar (Republic of Sweden)
Aril Brikha (still using an Atari, presumably) with two tracks of deep
techno which again has been around for a few weeks. 'Junction' is tougher
and more minimal, more of a club tune really, but 'Oh Ljuva Sommar' on the
flip is gorgeous deep chord-driven housey techno with twinkling melodies and
crisp hi-hats. Quality.

Private Lightning Six - Look Straight (Pomelo)
Haven't got past the John Tejada remix on here yet - superb electronic
broken business from the man who can seemingly do no wrong, in any style.
Deep, forward-thinking and musical with dancefloor dynamics and production
to die for - I really can't recommend this enough.

And finally, back on the Scape One tip, his forthcoming 'Planet Funk
Express' doublepack on Electrix is very good indeed - a great journey
through various flavours of electro from someone with a real passion for the
sound. Soulful, well produced and funky stuff...

Cheers,

Tom

Yeah I'll second this. A wicked EP of electro that manages to be very cool, but 
also with loads of energy to it. Definatly worth checking. As is the new 
Dimension 5 12 on Delsin, Dark Cities. If you liked the album and the first 12 
then you are going to get this anyway, but if you missed D5's earlier stuff 
then you owe it to yourself and your love of good pure techno music to hunt 
them down.
