Kaos 007 - ..ck On Acid - 11-Feb-09 02:45 PM
These versions are very different from the one on KAOS 10 compilation, and on other compilations : it may bear the same name, but the versions on this 12" are much more dry, and using a different sound for the acid bass (more classical 303). it also has some different sound effects and strings. In fact, it is the same tracks with different sounds and sound slight differences in arrangments. A surprise, so, and a cool one.

Warp Factor 3 - Jammin' Soul / Rhythm Will Make You Move - 11-Jan-09 03:06 AM
An underated release IMO. Not a killer one that was a big hit back then, but if you like Nu Groove s deep house formula, this one is for you : A1 combine the NG typical bassline-focused construction with some atmospheric synth effects, while the synth are running smoothly on it. Also linked in my mind to the early Strictly rhythm sound of course. This is interesting as it shows how influencial was NG, but also how European were reshaping its style into something more continental-sounding, more rave-ish in the smooth/hypnotic sense of it.

New Composers - Sputnik Of Life - 29-Nov-08 05:09 AM
Think about Kraftwerk meeting Model 500s "Strings Of Life", with the added bonus of the russian accent : this one is a killer indeed. New Composers were hitting hard with this first release, and achieving the marriage of electronic bleeps with a fantasticely danceable housey mood.
The Mix 1 is the most famous (the one later featured on the LP), and the most energetic, while the Mix 2 sets the piano appart to focus only on the bleeps + stomping beats.
The 3rd track is a strange and original beatless piece, with Eric Satie-esque piano pattern plus vocalizings.
This legendary release has gained a cult status due to its small circulation then, and to the fact it never got any proper release except for this stamped promo for DJ. Often appears on ebay at ridiculousely high prices, but worth having : this is a perfect example of "Techno-house", and of a time when superb production and undergound spirit could meet radio airplay.

This is a true hidden gem. Was given me by a foreign seller as a gift (a promo of it though), and I first felt would be uninteresting. Then, what a surprise! Truly a very personal, emotional and superb example of electronica with soul.

Starts like some AFX stuff at its best, and goes on trough many careful and melodic phases.
Probably conceived like a pop album with some modern and futuristic sounds, it never forgets to try reachnig your soul, even at its most Rephlex-ian phases.
I definitely encourages anyone who liked the melodic "envolée" of Richard James or any of his friends to dig into this one.

Fischerman's Friend Featuring M.C. Turtle* - Teutonic Beats - 14-Sep-08 03:17 PM
Back in the time Sun Electric was still in ZTT hands, here was their collaborative effort with Thomas Fehlmann to produce a kind of snapshot of what was to come in the uptempo euro sound of House.
When A side is a cool but average exercise in mashing up many influences in a non-megamix track, lacking a real direction, the B side is much more interesting."Lets Panic" is an uptempo track with an EBM-like main synth line, while the other track is a very original blend of electro-pop and synth strings.
Not a gem, but interesting listen, and original.
