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 wrote: > On Jan 24, 2012, at 5:50 AM, "Aidan O'Doherty" > wrote: >

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 t

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 respect

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 wrote: > 'Song forms & freedom' on Mosaic is his best imo, alo

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

'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 24/0

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 happy
