DeepChord - Grandbend - 27-Mar-08 09:27 AM
Grandbend, originally released on dc10, is a long, deep and atmospheric track. The original cut was so thin (orange vinyl version) that I always bothered when I took it on the wheels. I never awaited a stronger version or recut. But now there's a new record out on echospace [detroit] and it exposes as just this one. The Remastered Mix is much stronger then the original. But this is not only a re-release of old material. The remixes are huge. Most remarkable are the cv313 ones. They alone would be worth releasing. Only the name of the dc07 Mix is a little confusing. This release hast no similarity to dc07, only Rod Modell himself (Imax). All in all, this one is again one step in the evolution.
Various - True People: The Detroit Techno Album - 24-Jun-06 04:30 AM
This collection is a monument of Detroit Music History. It presents the most important heads for this genre from the first (atkins, reese, may) to the second and third generation. the tracks in here are without a doubt in all cases nuggets. in front eddie fowlkes, stacey pullen, kenny larkin, claude young and blake baxter (to name a few). if you do not have this in your collection try to get it or do not say you are in detroit techno.
Various - Sampler 06: Quality Electronic Music - 31-Mar-06 02:15 AM
This is a wonderful piece of vinyl. Not only for the music, which is really quality electronic music (like the title tells), like all items in the ai catalogue. But also for the great design work. It is a yellow-orange picturedisc with subtly patterns, which are arranged in rings around the centre. The rings have the accurate size of the tracks on the vinyl. So this record fits the problem, every other picturedisc have - the picture does not affect the search for the begin and end of a track. Also exceptional for a picturedisc, it got a cover and this is also lovely. All in one: wunderful to listen to and great to watch.
Model 500 - The Flow Remixes Vol. II - 13-Dec-05 09:10 AM
Once again, the Jedi Knights rock the planet!!! Here they built another Oldschool-HipHop-Electromonster only they can do. Much bass, vocodervox, scratches in here. No idea, where they got the inspiration for it, because of the thin original. Would like to know the face of Juan Atkins, listening to it the first time.
Link & E621 - Antacid - 11-Jun-05 08:17 AM
Here's my statement for this one and it is a praise on one of the finest records ever released: On the A side you find a massive elektro monster track that becomes dominated by a tweeting 303-line before loosing its scaffold in a lovely stringbreak. All in one no Techno, Elektro or Acid but pure IDM (if that helps idendifying). So what does this all have to do with an ant? It's more like an elephant!!! On B, in my opinion there is the highlight of this record (without downrating Antacid). Shurely, there were great records before and thereafter, but this track shows how powerful and also sentimental a track can be. It's as good as Ae's glorious Anti EP or the Tri Repetae LP, from around the same time and it showed the way to real future classics in electronic music like Key Nell on Skam. Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard did tracks in very different kinds of electronic music, but every time they got the Funk and didn't loose the look to the basics. CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS ONE !!!
