Carl Craig & Moritz von Oswald - ReComposed - New Mixes By Ricardo Villalobos & Carl Craig - 02-Nov-09 02:34 PM
Its nice to hear a song (the C2 remix) from this album thats more club orientated, but for me, the killer song on this record is the Villalobos remix. Reminiscent of Philip Glass, he plays with the same loop, repeating and repeating forcing the listener into a trance while he brings the melody in and out. The minimal beat remains throughout the song as he plays with organic sounds. When I got it, I played through the b-side five times without realising what I was doing. Genius track with three of the most important electronic producers in the last 10/15 years all contributing. Best record Ive purchased all year.

This record has sampled the entire speech of the B-Side off SUBX-01, DJ Bone - Music, released in 2005 on Subject Detroit Records.

Message from Bone:

I license to people, labels and projects where I see fit but to use my shit (not even sampling it but the whole thing just over their track) without even asking me was & is jacked-up (way wrong).

This is just to let everyone know that I NEVER gave them permission to use my vocals, have never even heard of the label and was never approached by anyone from Be Chosen.

Needless to say I am not very happy about this and action is being taken. Any help you can give me by spreading the word about this label and what they did would be very helpful! They dont know me or how I conduct business...

Circle Takes The Square - As The Roots Undo - 10-Oct-08 06:36 AM
Before I got into Electronic music, I was obsessed with Rock and Metal, and this band along with Dillinger Escape Plan and Tool were the ones who stood out for me the most when I look back.

This album is intense. People like to refer to the style as "Screamo Metal" and you can see why, as the opening four songs give you little room to breathe. However, there are some beautifully melodic moments, notably on the second half of the album, with my highlights being "Interview at the Ruins" and "Kill the Switch".

The musicianship is also very impressive, even more so as there are only three members. Nowadays, I find it difficult to listen to all the way through, but still give it a 5 because it provided me with with so many good moments in the past.

If you like it, I recommend Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity as well.

I cant believe "Freaky Games" hasnt been released as an A-side. This tune makes me dance whenever I put it on, regardless of my mood. I havent even heard the other two songs on this, but am going to get the vinyl just for Borgos effort.

I first heard it on Laurent Garniers Excess Luggage, and eventually found an own version on the Goodlife Volume 1 Compilation. A must have house tune!! Nice one Good Life.

Technical Itch - Diagnostics - 13-Aug-08 03:05 AM
Diagnostics is a dark, gritty, underground drum ‘n’ bass album. It is great for what it is, but won’t appeal to all listeners of the genre. There is hardly any sign of melody or keyboards and the occasional computerised vocals create a sinister feel. The beats are crunchy and raw and the structure to each song is well thought out. This is most definitely an album, not just a collection of tunes (like a lot of dnb LPs) which makes it difficult to pick out a stand out track. Equally hard is to find a song that lets the album down.
You won’t here many of these tracks at a club; you’re more likely to hear the album stuck on repeat in a basement of a house party. Technical Itch is an excellent producer and DJ (just listen to Killa Bites II) and has proved with this album that he is also a very good creator of drum ‘n’ bass. Not for the faint hearted, but if you’re into the darkside, you’ll love it.
