Mountain People, The - Mountain003 - 18-Dec-08 06:29 AM
Its been a while since Ive written a review on discogs and I cant believe no one has commented on this release, so here you go...

"Mountain003" was easily one of my top five favorite tracks of 2007. I played this one a lot. I fit it smoothly (smiling all sexy) into nearly every set. Those bongo/toms/whatever just rip right threw anything else I mix with it. Theyre so clean and tight and punchy as all hell. This beat is as fresh as hot teen ass. And the break is so simple. No big, unnecessary buildup. Everything is stripped away only briefly before that PERFECT beat is brought back in with another element (of course).

God I love this record. I bought two (or three?) copies immediately after it was released. I knew "Mountain003" was going to be one of my favorite tracks. EVER. And I was right. It is. It always will be.

Simply perfect. And it can be mixed with just about anything of similar tempo since theres barely a melody; one neednt worry about matching keys or vocals.

I really love the "Mountain005" record as well. I forget which side I play, but its fucking incredible. Just buy it. Buy them both!!! Youll thank me. With money. Youll give me money.

"Just a bunch of robotsjust a bunch of robotsjust a bunch of robots..."
Ho. My. God.
Isnt this how electro (Kraftwerk) and techno (Detroit) all got started? I love this shit! Its like its 1982 and Im totally breaking it down to "Shari Vari" instead of being in diapers.

All good tracks, but the Future Beat Investigators Remix is definitely my favorite. Although it doesnt say anything new, it doesnt have to. It restates what we already love with perfect articulation.

Bravo futurelectrotechdisco collaborators! If I had a hat, Id be tipping it.

(PS. Forgive me for not knowing the source of the spoken dialogue. I even IMDbd "Galaxy Race" but didnt come up with any films with this title. I did, however, manage to find a SilverHawks episode titled "The Great Galaxy Race." Hmmm...)

The Mike Shannon remix is pretty good. Everything else is derivative and uninspiring. Heres another case of excellent production technique failing to compensate for a lack of originality.

If the Shannon remix had gotten the whole side to itself, I would Buy this. But it didnt. So Im not buying it.
On second thought...
That Mike Shannon remix IS really good. Ill wait til I find this one in a bin or on discogs for less than five bucks...

Porter Ricks - Nautical Dub (Tidal Mix) / Port Gentil - 07-Dec-07 10:08 PM
This release is pure genius and anyone who doesnt give this a 5 is fucking deaf. In fact, they deserve a punch in the face. Ill volunteer for the pummeling. (And Im a pacifist.)
Its THAT good.

I find it pointless to try and describe any music. All I can do is describe context. First of all, this kind of deep, dubby techno deserves to be listened to on the best sound system possible. If your home stereo system is crap or youre using your stupid ipod earphones (throw those in the trash!) then listen to this in your car. Even crappy car systems sound pretty good because the acoustics in such a space are incredible. These two tracks will relax the shit out of you. Literally. Your colon will relax so much that poop will just fall right out and you wont even care because this lush wave of sound is transporting you straight to nirvana.

Both tracks are great. I prefer "Nautical Dub (Tidal Mix)".

If I dont get a vinyl copy of this soon Im going to sever my left pinky, cut it in half, and send a piece to Andy Mellwig and Thomas Köner each.

Electric Envoy - Channel Deluxe - 02-Oct-07 11:48 PM
"Channel Deluxe" is a top track. I normally dont play this fast, but when you want to take your set to around 136BPM, this is a SOLID record.

Nice, hard techno (without being too grating) underpinned with melodic atmospheric textures. Im going to experiment and pitch it down -12% (I own Numark TT-X1s). I bet itll sound similar to early Basic Channel.

Since there are so many copies for sale right now, you can get this for a real bargain.
