Profile: Began buying records seriously in 1990, started with a few New Order bits and pieces. Then I got hooked onto the rave sound...not long after getting sucked into the industrial scene as well.
Ever since I'd heard Humanoid, I've been in love with the sound of the 303. This was strengthened for me by Ege Bam Yasi, Hardfloor, and the Labworks label.
I dabbled with psy-trance during the mid 90s, cos I couldn't find any acid music... Until a friend told me to check out Stay Up Forever. It was like finding the music I'd been waiting for!

Orb, The - A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld - 18-Jan-04 05:24 AM
I think this has to be the definitive mix of A Huge Ever Growing Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld. Lovely washing synth sounds, and the sound of waves crashing. After 14 miutes of soothing sounds a beat does emerge, but it doesn't get heavy, and just fades out again.
Listening to this is 19 minutes of time well spent!...You'll feel a lot calmer afterwards!
Weathermen - Hurricane Warning / Thunderflash - 09-Jan-04 10:55 AM
"Thunderflash" is an Acid Techno reworking of Joey Beltram's 1990 classic, "Energy Flash". An amzing version, executed with style :)
Prodigy, The - Everybody In The Place - 09-Jan-04 05:33 AM
Personally, I think this was/is the Prodigy's strongest release...Everything on this 12", is really driving and energetic. "Rip up the Soundsystem" is probably the best track on here, the weakest being "Crazy Man".
At least with this release, every track was different, and not a couple of remixes of the same thing. Definitely, Liam Howlett at his best, IMO.
Lassigue Bendthaus - Biohazard - 30-Sep-03 01:16 PM
One of my favourite records!!! High praise indeed, since it's not even in my favourite genre of music.
Chopped beats, nice squelchy synth lines, filthy electronic tones, beeps, with some of the most spot on rhythm programming I've heard!
Biohazard and Information are full-on electro tracks, where Information has more frantic drum programming. Re-Cloned is structured over the Funky Drummer loop. Whilst Re-Kombination is a sonic assault with tortured synth tones, and abused rhythm sounds.
New Order - Confusion (Remix) - 09-Sep-03 03:01 PM
Confusion was one of my least favourite New Order tracks, but from the moment I heard the Jean Michel Jarre loops in A2 & A3, it spoke to me. Then the flipside containing 2 old skool acid-house numbers!!! :)
I wonder if this where Pump Panel got the inspiration from?
It gave them the vocal too...easily put into that vocoder!
