Moby - Last Night - 06-Dec-08 06:42 AM
Club drugs and rock stars abide by the same rule: What goes up must come down. After hitting a massive high on 1999's Play, Moby stopped making dance music, opting instead for the downtempo atmospherics of 2002's 18 and the strummed guitars of 2005's Hotel.

So it's exciting to hear this forty-two-year-old vegan blogger return to form. A concept album about an all-night bender, Last Night solidifies Moby's link in the chain that binds DJ pioneers like Todd Terry to slinky futurists like Justice. From the space-age-Abba shimmer of "Ooh Yeah" to the itchy funk of the brilliant Nineties house throwback "Disco Lies," Moby goes for groove over texture, relying on high-hats, piano and strings while wisely staying off the mike.

The album is billed as a love letter to New York nightlife, but tracks like the dance-hop "I Love to Move in Here" (featuring Grandmaster Caz) feel more like an Irish wake for the era before the city's megaclubs were shuttered.

Appropriately, Last Night's only drawback is the harsh slowdown of the trancelike "Degenerates." After so many body-rocking tunes, it's like any sobering slap: a real downer.

Momenta - Chronic Bass - 06-Dec-07 03:09 AM
Welcome a brand new Born Idle Records producer Momenta!

What a start I must say!

A side is an atmospheric breaks monster with this dark male vocal sample repeating "The ccchronic basss", while
we have an electro flavoured peaktime Code Red remix on B side, which I personally don't like at all, but anyways it's a well produced remix.

But A side is a true monter floorbanger, so this one is must have for all who love such deep atmospheric breaks!

DJ Killer - Rocket / Elektrick - 04-Dec-07 04:44 PM
I've just unpacked this vinyl and placed it on my turntable...

It's a very powerful dancefloor killer release, and... what is very important - both sides ARE!

The A side is "Rocket" which I call techno breaks, incredible one!
The B side is a true masterpiece - it has electro voice, electro samples and, of course, breakbeat bassline - so it's a totally awesome electro breaks.

I'm so pleased with this release.
"Rocket / Elektrick" - you two have touched my soul ))
Thank you, Dj Killer!

Björk - Volta - 31-Jul-07 10:46 PM
To my mind Bjork is one of the artists which is constantly growing up mentally, so you can hear it in her music, voice, samples, loops , in her musicians, videos.
Don't you forget that her music - is an experiment in all means?
Bjork is kinda unique in that way - her every album is not like previous one, it's another page in a great part of music history.

Volta represents all Earth nations, it's cultures, traditions. And I think the previous comment was a comment of a person, who wasn't interested in getting equainted with all that variety of beatiful things.

Volta is absolutely great album, and don't forget to be patient - you possibly wouldn't understand its message at first, just listen to it for few more times. It's Bjork - remember?

Placebo - 07-Jun-07 04:43 AM
The key to Placebo's sound is singer/guitarist Brian Molko, whose impersonation of a woman goes far beyond his appearance and into his singing voice. His trio brings together various influences the epic, noisy "Chicago Sound," late-'70s prog-rock, and late-80s "college rock" but boils them down into fairly conventional guitar-heavy melodrama, with the sort of opaque and angsty lyrics usually found in that genre.
