It was more Cisco in a technical sense but I think it is fairly evident what Colin offered just by hearing their sound from now against then. Colin added this raw, chancing funk to the music for me. I remember in 1995 when they did a live set at Tribal Gathering. I was shouting about how truly great Colin was as he was northern soul dancing his arse off during the breakdown to Badboy. I was then approached by a girl (fnarr) who told me she was their agent, manager or something. She then proceeded to tell me I was wrong and how Cisco was the real technical brains behind them. I just gazed back as Colin got behind the equipment again at Badboy's peak and started frantically pulling his grey goatee beard inbetween tweaks, I then looked back at the girl and retorted "Sorry love, you just don't get it."
Not slagging Cisco by the way, I just preferred them as a true unit and also find it slightly disrespectful that Cisco carries on in the Advent's name. Mind you I forgot about Aux-88. :o) "For the love... ----- Original Message ----- From: peter mueller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: scott mcgill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 9:50 PM Subject: Re: [313] time trap teknik (was new order) > something that i never quite understood. if you look on the liner notes, > most of the tracks are credited to cisco ferreira only. anyone who has > more insight on the way they worked together or could direct me to any > interviews/articles? > > for the techno tracks, i agree. they definitely had more funk back than. > but for the electro stuff...the release on electrix earlier this year is > one of my favourite records of 2k1 so far. anyone know if there's any > material comming out from the advent in the near future? > > peter > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: scott mcgill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > : Totally refreshing and consistent music.
