yep parabolas is production genius (at least the first half anyway), one of those albums that seems like a lot of nothing at first but grows and grows with complexity with each listen. On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 7:07 AM, Greg Earle ea...@isolar.dyndns.org wrote: On Jan 24, 2012, at 5:50 AM, Aidan

I couldn't possibly disagree with this more. His most recent Parabolas (Kompakt) from last year was pretty much my favorite record of last year. I get the Plaid comparisons but I see them as just influences and his stuff is far, far more interesting to me than whatever Plaid are doing

Agreed his strongest material to date, not to say he didn't have any highlights on his palette material. But these records in particular still kill it. I dropped the timebomb vip mix two weeks ago a gig here in Pittsburgh and it was well received on the dancefloor. Unlike most collectors I'm

'Song forms freedom' on Mosaic is his best imo, along with Timebomb. There's a great one he did with Titonton as well, can't recall the name though - will dig it out tonight. I think he's got plenty of good material to be honest, lots of good b side tracks well worth digging out. On

There are Tejada tracks that are indelibly awesome and classic. Then there's the rest of his work, which is almost that good. I don't think he's released anything that's actually bad. Some are less memorable, less arrestingly original, but you could play a whole set of his B- and C-list stuff and

That's the exact record I was thinking about. The record he did with titonton was the freak deaky ep one appeared on residual, the follow-up on palette and both are very strong records. On Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 12:45 PM, Matt Chester chesterm...@gmail.com wrote: 'Song forms freedom' on Mosaic is

Could you really like it that much if you thought it was a blatant Plaid rip-off? Maybe I'm quibbling over definitions, but 'blatant rip-off' implies that it isn't as good as the original. If it's good, it's good, and any stylistic similarities are irrelevant to its quality. In a certain

the guy produces so much and a lot of it did sound so similar that it was hard to differentiate between releases. just think the stuff on 7th city stood out more. 7th city seems like a mythical label now. remember walking into a now long defunct record store in dublin and they had a dj set-up and
