Newworldaquarium - The Dead Bears - 10-Jul-08 10:08 AM
An outstanding album. Regarding the comment of nothing much happens in some of the tracks, hmm, that's what we call groove mate, you get a good loop and you roll with it. Subtlety is one of my favourite nuances of music, and that's inherent in this album. Lush, deep, rolling and endless, you really don't want some of these tracks to end.
There are a lot of 'deep' producer's around at the moment, and it's becoming the norm to have lush reverb's, long dubby delay's and other trademark signs of deep techno/house, but groove is something very few producer's have a knack of capturing.
Want to know what i mean?? Buy the damn album!
I love this album, and with 18 years of hearing this sort of music that saying a lot, as for the production, this record could have been released 15 years ago in that respect, it's not dated, more like timeless.
Drexciya - Drexciya 4 - The Unknown Aquazone - Double Aquapak ... - 28-May-08 06:27 AM
Classic, absolute classic material here. 'Take Your Mind' is a brilliant spazz funk electro track, 'Living On The Edge' is also a killer cut and a dark insight to the psyche of Detroit machine music, but hit 'Lardossen Funk' for the epitome of Drexciyan groove. Wigged out bassline's and spannered synths rise and rise to deliver a real catchy hook, and it'll stick in your head for ever. Drexciya have a knack of encompassing the 80's, 90's as well as the future in their productions, this doublepack is not only early material for them, but has in it's grooves all that Drexciya strived to put into their music and philosophy. Unmissable for any self-respecting machine funk specialist.
Mike Huckaby - My Life With The Wave (Limited Edition Set) - 18-Apr-08 01:36 PM
An amazing package here from the criminally overlooked Mike Huckaby.
The tunes themselves are awesome, the a-side alone is a seriously deep and cavernous track, filtered pads alongside solid kicks combined with a lush bassline make a sick groove, with added delays creating depth in spades. The flip's head in a deep house direction with more melody and keys and showing the versatility of both producer and instrument.
Rest assured it's now permanently entrenched in my 'classic' play pile.
The sample CD is also superbly crafted and packaged, with an introductory narrated video and the samples themselves organized into folders for ease of use.
Being a Waldorf user too, i can hear the depth of programming he's put into the sounds, and the time well spent learning the massive potential of the Wave.
Any budding producer of deep music would do well to obtain this release, for both the music and the samples.
Huckaby has always been the man to watch for those who have good ears, and here he delivers some of his trade secrets of deep synthesis.
Automation - 6 Track EP - 15-Jan-08 10:19 AM
Damn, if one record out of bloated classics of hardcore needs a review it's this one. OK, the remix 12" is good, but this was the record that was hammered by many a 'ardcore kid back in the day.
3 tracks off the a-side were on the infamous DJ Hype tape from Fantasy FM, known throughout the North West as 'Hype 2'. The tape, and consequently this record had a huge impact on the club scene up North, i blagged my first copy of this from Marcus Intalex (the real DJ of the Angels in Burnley).
Each track is based around various samples, very early use of the Amen and various other funk breaks, and some killer stabs and chords (think Psychotropic's 'Only For The Headstrong').
The record came out at a time when Hardcore was still being born, and naivety was a plus, and I think of the amount of time's I heard tracks from this 12" proves what an impact it had on the genre.
A Killer record, and a great example of the good records that were hammered back then. Not the crap ones sold for fortunes now!
Essit Muzique - Whoo Part Twoo - 18-Nov-07 11:27 AM
This is one of the greatest records released with the 303 as the main ingredient. Atmosphere, cracking techno beats, superb and expert use of the Roland boxes and an intricate understanding of not only Techno, but dancefloor Techno makes this record unmissable. Both sides are killer, but the a-side has the laughing 303 section 3/4's of the way in, with Erik taking the squealing machine to another dimension of madness.
This has long been in my top ten of 1990's Techno records (that's saying a lot), and i play it so much i have 2 copies, both of which you'll have to pry from my cold dead hands. Buy on sight.
