Jonny L - I'm Leavin' - 03-Sep-07 04:48 AM
One of the best EPs in the genre. From the haunting and catchy vocal tunes to the tearin' and dystopic bladerunner sampling "more life", the production quality and execution is infallible. "I want you" is one of the first tracks to use a pitched-down amen and it has wonderful instrumentation (in golden era of house sort of way). "I'm leavin'" would still make a great last tune of the night despite the lyrics-so very touching! Sam has the most intricate apache work i've ever heard on wax with really nice lush synths and a wonderful vocoded vocal bit.
This is an example of self-realized dnb at its' finest.
A-Sides - My Mind - 03-Sep-07 04:48 AM
My favorite release from A-Sides. I've never heard a jungle track like it. The uniquely times-stretched drums ripping away in huge stadium reverb. It's a pleasure to mix and listen too.
Tidal (3) - Gemini Force / Wisdom Tunnels - 28-Aug-07 10:39 PM
Just got this 12" yesterday. It is a very solid piece of atmospheric dnb. Not a lot of music like this is released on wax these days so I'm happy to grab it when it does. Lush pads, mellow but punchy breaks, deep subs, and vocals that call out from the dark abyss. It is somewhat reminiscent of a release from the golden era of PFM.
Looking forward to more music from Tidal.

Equinox (3) - The Brain Crew E.P - 27-Dec-04 12:55 AM
First vinyl appearance from Marlon Sterling (AKA Equinox) when he was 16 years old.
Metalheads - Terminator - 26-Dec-04 09:55 PM
actually...many believe this record had timestretching in it..but really it was just manual pitch-shifting on the drums using outboard processing...people later tried to recreate the effects using timestretching in their samplers which created a whole different ethos in itself.
