Bermuda (2) - Galaxy Race - 08-Jan-08 02:11 PM
"Just a bunch of robotsjust a bunch of robotsjust a bunch of robots..."
Ho. My. God.
Isn't this how electro (Kraftwerk) and techno (Detroit) all got started? I love this shit! It's like it's 1982 and I'm 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 doesn't say anything new, it doesn't have to. It restates what we already love with perfect articulation.
Bravo futurelectrotechdisco collaborators! If I had a hat, I'd be tipping it.
(PS. Forgive me for not knowing the source of the spoken dialogue. I even IMDb'd "Galaxy Race" but didn't come up with any films with this title. I did, however, manage to find a SilverHawks episode titled "The Great Galaxy Race." Hmmm...)
Nacho Marco - The Love EP - 04-Jan-08 11:32 PM
The Mike Shannon remix is pretty good. Everything else is derivative and uninspiring. Here's 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 didn't. So I'm not buying it.
On second thought...
That Mike Shannon remix IS really good. I'll 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 doesn't give this a '5' is fucking deaf. In fact, they deserve a punch in the face. I'll volunteer for the pummeling. (And I'm a pacifist.)
It's 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 you're 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 won't 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 don't get a vinyl copy of this soon I'm 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 don't 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. I'm going to experiment and pitch it down -12% (I own Numark TT-X1's). I bet it'll sound similar to early Basic Channel.
Since there are so many copies for sale right now, you can get this for a real bargain.
Pan-Pot Feat. Hugh Betcha - Charly - 25-Sep-07 06:51 PM
Oooooooh. This one's nice!
Pan-Pot's "Charly" is such a formula; One that's already been perfected by artists like Peace Division and Radio Slave (and earlier by Green Velvet and whatnot).
But hey there's still plenty of room for tracks like this one.
I love the super hypnotic synth line that runs through the entire track. And that really hard closed snare is always effective.
The Anja Schneider remix doesn't do much for me, as I really like the dialogue on the original. It adds so much to the track, especially on a dancefloor.
If you like "Charly" then you should also check out Buddy System's "The Daze." It's got a sexy, understated acid line with tastefully spoken vocals and would mix well with "Charly", actually.
Don't say I never gave you anything.
