Trading: I don't sell anything from my collection, unless listed. I could trade recordings of releases in my collection but I'd rather do it in case it can lower the price of something from my wantlist you have to sell in exchange.
Before contacting me to sell a record: In most cases when a record exists in a limited edition, that's the edition I'm after. If a record has been re-issued, I'm looking for the first edition.

Los Hermanos - Traditions & Concepts - 09-Apr-08 07:08 AM
Is Los Hermanos without DJ Rolando still as good as it was with him? The answer is in this record, and it's a clear "Yes".
It's Detroit Techno as you wouldn't expect anymore. Every track is not in itself a stroke of genius, but it has the power of the truth; true to the spirit, true to the community, and most importantly true to itself.
To all of you whose faith in Detroit is slightly fading away, buy it, and play it loud.

Sébastien Léger - Jaguar - 31-Mar-08 06:37 AM
Another mistake from the mistakes. The only difference between this ugly cover of the Knights of the Jaguar and Cor Fijneman's is that Léger payed the copyrights. The only insteresting thing about this record is that it proves that someone without the slightest bit of musical taste can actually make beauty disappear.
If Mad Mike has accepted the deal, then unfortunately it's obvious that Underground Resistance needs money. So buy UR records, the music is good and it will prevent such records from being released.

Moodymann - I'd Rather Be Lonely - 05-Jan-08 10:59 AM
Moodymann's productions are always a patchwork of ideas and influences. Sometimes the alchemy blossoms in something great, sometimes it doesn't work that good and you feel a bit frustrated that such brilliant moments don't expand into fully accomplished tracks. As in LPs like Silentintroduction or Forevernevermore, the Music in "I'd Rather Be Lonely" comes out of nowhere, twice, and returns to it as if it never happened. But these two instants are two flashes of genius.

Cor Fijneman - 28-Nov-07 12:06 PM
While he doesn't deserve a single line, as a Detroit Techno lover I have to urge anyone to avoid this producer at all costs. He stole and sullied from DJ Rolando and the whole Underground Resistance crew one of the most beautiful track electronic dance music will ever give birth to. To produce crap is one thing but, as it so often happens, to produce awful trance remixes of Mozart, Beethoven or so poor covers of Ravel or Debussy is an unspeakable shame, and that's the same here. Shame on him and anyone buying his records.

Carl Craig - Paris Live - 11-Aug-07 07:08 AM
I was there, and this release is a nice surprise. The rare beauty of the live lied in its almost unexpected climaxes which would came out of "free jazz" moments, where both Kelvin Sholar and Mike Banks were building their ways into the structures set by Carl Craig and his laptop. But I would have loved to see the full live released and I can't prevent myself from feeling a bit disappointed, for while "At Les" gives a good idea of the whole gig, it's too damn short for the people who were there, and not long enough to inspire as much emotion to those who were not there as it did in live.
