Burial - Untrue - 07-Nov-07 10:29 AM
Go away. This album is horrible. I swear I heard ghosts when I listened to it. Voices drifted in and out and haunted me. Forever. The scattered breaks did nothing but terrify me. The bass lines did nothing but show a dark door outside the rave I was supposed to be attending. This album is a monster. It's dark and scary, and the voices aren't going away as I write this. Fractured breaks and broken sub basses and vocal samples that have been ripped from oblivion. We call this music? Yes, we do.

This is the greatest album the underground has ever let loose. This is an album that isn't so much a work of an artist as it is someone pulling spirits from the air and putting them on a recording. It's brilliant, but it's dark and you aren't supposed to "get it." I really don't want to know you if you don't get it. Frankly, you aren't my friend. This is the record that defines everything, regardless of genres and styles. This is what we will clutch in our hands and say music matters some 20 years from now.

Like I said, this album is horrible. You shouldn't listen to it. Mostly because anything you hear after it won't mean anything.

DeepChord - Vantage Isle [Extended Edition] - 23-Aug-07 07:25 AM
Deep. The word was invented to describe these guys. That's what this album is. Deep. When the Basic Channel boys switched from Chain Reaction to reggae, Rod Modell and crew came in. They give us the deepest techno imaginable. Loads of reverb and echo, tracks that drown themselves in effects. Unbelievable. This is music so primordial it triggers things in your brain. It makes you think. It makes you breathe. Listen to it as loud as possible and then shut everything off and go outside at night. And listen. The music hasn't stopped, it's still going on. Echospace captures everything you thought you knew about sound and music, and gently shoves it back in your hands in the form of a scarce few CD's and 12's. It's time to decipher their form of musical hieroglyphics and enjoy it. The word "fathom" applies here too. As in, fathomless... and Echospace is just that. Fathomless...

DeepChord Presents Echospace - The Coldest Season - 23-Aug-07 02:57 AM
Loads of bass, lots of effects on the synth stabs, echo, reverb, check, check, and triple check. Music to drown yourself in? Check. Welcome to the "Coldest Season" and I'll tell you now, it's not cold. It's a serious dip into the world of deep tech, and it's warm and inviting. It's beautiful and gorgeous, full of tracks that really don't go anywhere and were never meant to. It's minimal techno. It's a gorgeous tapestry of sound, with waves hitting like the ocean in a hurricane while you sit in the eye of the storm. This side of technro is as expeimental as everything that :Zoviet*France" did, yet it doesn't beat you about with it. It just simply invites you in. And it's all there for you to ride those crests of... SOUND. It's just plain sound at this point. No songs, no, that doesn't matter, this is the soundtrack of your dreams. Beautiful soundscapes that will make your subwoofers shake and make your eardrums quiver. My God, this is music.

Weird Al is truly one of the greatest satirists of our time. He's kept his humor family friendly too. He's quite possibly the most brilliant comedian of all time. He makes me laugh like no one else. Jokes in spades, and you can feed it to your kids. Perfection. The real shame is no one else comes close. Like Zappa, this may all be gone too soon. Who else on this planet will turn popular music into Polka tunes?

Quite possibly one of the most important net labels to watch for. They are not as prolific as a label like Thinner, but their music is unbelievable. It's deep and exquisitely dubby, hypnotic and mind blowing. I really hope they continue to grow, because they haven't released a bad tune yet.
