Generally The End in London is my regular clubbing haunt.
It has one of the best sound systems of any club going, 
and hearing The Stand... it really cut through and blew 
away most other tracks. It has such an energy level when 
the volume is backing it up.
But if it puts you in mind of progressive uk stuff... well I 
can see how you'd feel, association with things that you 
don't like (through the simple bassline for example) can put 
you off stuff that is otherwise classier.

It's very different, I think the BF release was pitched to the dancefloor, a
fun track, the album is less a dancefloor release though there are some
tracks that you could play, it's very sophisticated. It's a progression of
Silent Phase with some new ideas, influences.

A lot of it has to do with the crowd, venue, concept, vibe. He's not the
kind of person to be affected by status, I don't think, or trends - others
on this list who have known or worked with Stacey I am sure would agree, and
I know many have. I think he is very, very underrated in Europe as a DJ. He
puts so much into it. You can just tell!

Hey, call me crazy, but I like this record.
I don't know if you guys ever play on a big soundsystem, in a large club, but
this record works real well in that situation. Its a single -- its the "big club
hit". I'd rather play a big club hit by Stacey Pullen than, say, Daft Punk any
day of the week. Besides, its much in the vein of the prior Black Flag release.
Obviously he's going for a theme here.

Re: [313] Black Flag 2

2000-12-31 Thread Todd Smith
Stacy's DJ Kicks is the worst one of the bunch (I've had all of them in my
possesion at one point in time or another).  His overuse of effects on every
mix shows some insecurity about his mixing ability underneath (anyone who
has used the Pioneer mixer knows what an off mix sounds like with a healthy
dose of echo or reverb on it).  The track selection is great however.

I'm not saying Stacy is a bad DJ however since I have seen him many times
and always been blown away.

As for his newer tracks, I haven't dug any of the black flag stuff : 'Sweat'
overused an already worn out sample IMHO with a bassline which was
borderline UK hard house.

Still looking forward to the album though..

I passed on it simply because I don't need another record like that. But it
dissapoints me because it's so typical. I expect something distinct from
Stacey Pullen. To speak to Peter's points: I think "The Floor" is more
innovative than "The Stand". But that isn't my favorite work from Carl Craig
either. I think both "The Floor" and "Throw" are pretty weak by Carl Craig
standards for the first three-four minutes of the full versions of each
track (this coming from an enormous Carl Craig fan). But they really come
into their own after the lengthy loopy intros. Maybe if "The Stand" used
circus samples or had Carl Craig singing, I would like it better. ;)

Yes, he deifinitely spun better material once upon a time. I've recounted my
experiences seeing him spin a few times on the list, so if you're an
old-timer, press delete.

Fall '97 - Seattle: First time seeing him spin. My expectations were solely
based on the (then) relatively recent DJ Kicks release. I was hoping for
greatness. This was simply the best set I've seen in my life. He was playing
lots of material akin to the DJ Kicks release, like Track Relaxer
type-stuff, but I didn't recognize a single track. Most of them were
amazing. He was in the mix at least 70% of the time. The mixing was flawless
and energetic. I left after about two hours because I had seen all I could
possibly hope to see. This is the benchmark by which I still measure all
other DJ sets (and I've seen some pretty damn good ones since).

Fall '98 - London: Four-hour set in the chill room @ The End. I caught the
first two hours. He played some great older funk/soul to start things off,
then segued into deep house. He seemed to be having a good time - kind of a
party atmosphere. I don't think he was taking it particularly seriously
because he was in the Lounge. But it was good for the environment. I left
after two hours to see Juan Atkins spin in the main room. All told, Pullen's
set was nice for what it was. It was good to be surprised. When I tried to
introduce myself to him, and tell him he'd spun the the best set I'd ever
seen, he was completely rude and brushed me off. I never expect much in
those situations, because I'm sure that getting swamped with affection from
strangers could get annoying after a while. For what it's worth, everyone
else I've ever talked to has been more than friendly (particularly Detroit
folk).

May '00 - San Francisco: The show was at the MOMA's 10th anniversary party.
Crowd was an interesting mixture of art patrons and ravers. The venue was
unbelievably swank. Pullen gave me my first taste of a set like you
described. Frankly, there wasn't a lot of good music played. Most of it was
very standard and exceedingly normal. I would have been very happy if he'd
been playing Yoshi Toshi stuff. There were a few moments when he threw in
harder chicago house, but right when it would start to get going, it would
all be deflated by some progressive crap. I left feeling like I'd seen Carl
Cox again. No one can fault his technique though. His skills are stellar.

May '00 - DEMF: He had nowhere to go but up in my mind, after being
dissapointed in San Francisco. He definitely did a good job by those
standards, and there were some sustained moments of brilliance. This set is
well documented on Groovetech. I was pleased at the recovery in this set,
but it was still not back up to '97 standards, and was not as "pure" as the
other sets @ DEMF IMHO. If I had seen the DEMF set in San Francisco, I would
have been very pleased, but when you've already been blown away by
uncompromised brilliance from Minx, Theo Parrish, Mike Grant, Mike Clark and
Basic Channel w/Tikiman, you need to raise the bar, and I felt like he
didn't quite do that.

My $.02. Still very hopeful for the new album, but not running out the door
to see him spin in DC anytime soon if he should be in the neighborhood. In
such a techno unfriendly area, I don't think I'd want to see him spin here.

1) Having heard the album in its _very_ early stages and knowing what 
elements Stacey has injected into the album, I'm sure the album will be 
brilliant.

2) As far as the 12" goes, it's a piece of dancefloor destruction - I've been 
caning this for almost a year now (Stacey gave me a test pressing last 
January) and it never fails to work the crowd.  Substandard UK cheeze? Would 
you call Carl's Paperclip People material that?  "The Stand" (or "Sweat, for 
that matter) is not that much different than "Floor".

3) FYI: "Polyphonic Destruction" was already two years old when Stacey gave 
the track to Mr. C for the Subterrain compilation.

Boy I sense a new crop of purists showing up on this list these days...

On that note, I really like his "Polyphonic Destruction" on The End. It's
not that new anymore, but it's recent enough that I still have hope for the
album.

I just question why he's gone the route he's chosen. Both his DJing and the
consistency of his musical output are suffering since he's attained status.
All IMHO of course.

To compare the EP with really bad cheesy UK house is
overstating it's ordinariness, I agree.

And I agree with you about his DJing: he's taken a
route I could never have imagined after listening to
his DJ Kicks mix, which ranks as one of my favourites.
I've only heard him play once, last year (1999), and
he was a real letdown (lots of Basement Jaxx,
Yoshitoshi type tracks, which I guess the new Black
Flag fits in with). Did he ever play out the same sort
of stuff that he plays on the DJ Kicks cd?

Re: [313] Black Flag 2

2000-12-31 Thread Phonopsia
I passed on the 12". I hope the album isn't more of the same, although from
Cyclone's reviews it sounds like it's better than that. I wouldn't really
rank it among the worst of UK cheeze though. I think he always manages to
incorporate something valuable even if it ends up a bit flat, or standard.
On that note, I really like his "Polyphonic Destruction" on The End. It's
not that new anymore, but it's recent enough that I still have hope for the
album.

I just question why he's gone the route he's chosen. Both his DJing and the
consistency of his musical output are suffering since he's attained status.
All IMHO of course.
