Paul Birken - 10-Jul-07 07:15 AM
Paul Birken is the man in my book. Anything he creates is of Interest, simply because his music works are REAL. Yes indeed---Real synthesizers---Real Composition---Real Magic---Real Improv---Real Techno---. Paul Birken has a huge track record, and within the U.S.A. is considered an Underground Experimental Techno Legend. The best part is he's more in the game than ever. Producing highly cutting edge trax. So striking is the fact that his spectrum of electronic sounds are different than most. The sounds are: hard-edge, home-made, sonically rich patterns, worked by someone who really loves creating Bomb-ass dancefloor workouts. Paul Birkin is the REAL Deal Techno Innovator that takes the classic mid-west Hard-Techno banger style ride cymbol lump of coal, and shines it into a multi-faceted crystal clear diamond. My prediction is to look out for Mr. Birken because he's hotter than ever, and he's ripping sound systems currently with his Live Techno P.A.

Humanoid - Sessions 84-88 - 30-Jun-07 08:43 PM
Just wanted to add that in my opinion this 2x12 is one of the most important works in electronic music history. Guess what? The years 84-88 were quite a while ago. Before any hillbilly could make a track on the garageband, there was Brian Dougans creating the grit and dirt. This compilation is a glimpse into the rythmic depths of machine language, where analogs, splice and dice TB-303, TR-606, drugged out vocals, space sounds, and twisted sequenced sine waves go places yet uncharted. Every sound is Flanged, Phased, Filtered, Echoed, Dosed, and Worked. This music is probably more scary sounding now, than it was in 1984. I hope listeners are afraid of these sounds, because I don't want this to be accepted by the boring world. This is:--------Dark------Industrial-------Dub--------Acid------Experimental-------Noise-------BreakBeat------Techno-------. The thing that always attracted me to sounds like these is: They are not accepted by most. I am not accepted either. Good! Cause I'm tired of boring people and boring music. Rephlex did a very good thing by making this available to the struggling underground. Give us hope. Lets try to catch up to the sounds created 20 years ago. TWENTY YEARS.

Evolve Now - The Dream EP - 01-Jun-07 08:53 AM
Very mysterious wax here. Pure heart and soul is so clear to hear on this release from Evolve Now. Real Deal Sounds on this Promo. Marked 1993. These sounds are so ahead of the pack with deepness, it blows my mind. A deep mixture of relentless changing and accented breakbeats with ethereal smoothed out drone filter sweep sequences and sharp minimal machine percussion makes this wax sound like "angels breathing hope into the dancers lungs at 3 a.m. when the dirty, laser lit warehouse becomes a temple". All trax have: pure magic, a mixture of styles, fresh beats, futuristic robot vibe. Sounds like it should've come out on GPR along side Luke Slater, Black Dog, John Dalby, or Beaumont Hannant. Timing is everything, and for being produced 15 years ago, these tracks seem timeless. Deep Beats here. Heartbreakingly deep. Where is Jamie Oliver? What happened? Why isn't there more from Evolve Now? These questions haunt me.

Freaky Chakra - Blacklight Fantasy - 30-Oct-06 07:37 PM
Alright, So here it is... A landmark underground techno/electro concept 2x12 lp of nearly indescribable alien dreamscape sounds. Rarely in the electronic world are listeners taken this far out. Every track is composed with precise drum and synth programming. A multi-faceted, mind-altering array of compression, panning, efx, and change. Very experimental-- yet at all times extremely dancable. Freaky C. is a special force in the electronic dance world, known for extensive live P.A. over the last 10 years. The track Blacklight Fantasy was recently added to the Miami Vice 2006 motion picture soundtrack. Excellent choice!! I look forward to hearing more from this brilliant composer.

Source Experience, The - Different Journeys - 02-Oct-06 05:43 AM
YEAH! - This raw drilling piece of 2x12 work is just what I needed to fill my morning with the power to deal with a corrupt society. What the techno world needs is a place on earth where real deal innovators like Robert Leiner call the shots. Can you imagine an ideal planet where techno ruled, and The Source Experience was king? I want to jump inside this 2x12 and never leave. This double wax includes: bouncy arpeggiated synth lines , resonated squelch acid, mystical strings, feedback confusion, industrial machine sounds, drilling bass drums, bangin' percussion, and it's all fused together in a dark murky soup. THIS IS TECHNO.
