Kevin Saunderson - Powerbass - 13-Apr-08 08:25 PM
First off Sonic Groove is not a re-release label. Their are almost 40 releases on the label. Only 5 releases on the label are
of re-releases of old school classics. The rest are of original unreleasesd recordings. I re-released this record because it was extremely difficult to obtain when it was released in 1991 and only existed on white label. Being a diehard Saunderson fan it was a honor for me to have a record of his on my label. This was the record I chose. It was not about money but hommage to someone who had a profound impact on me musically.
2 Body's - 4 Dancetrax - 08-Dec-07 12:41 AM
The review on this record above is far off. For a person to say their is nothing gay about this record makes me wonder if he/she had listen to it straight through. First off the French Kiss version is extremley gay with it's breakdown from the original of a girl moaning being replaced by a guy moaning. I'm sure this is not what Lil Louis intended with his original version.
The absolute reason to own this record is for the song "Astoria" produced by New Beat legend "Ro Maron". This song for me defines the earliest of stages of the Brooklyn techno scene. The mood of this song emits total electronic darkness. Before I ever traveled to Europe this was a song that made me think of giant dark gothic churches and short winter days of central Europe. It's not acid as quoted in the reveiw above. Its a dark minimalistic track with a haunting bassline & tracky drums that would work perfectly in your favorite suspense horror film. What was an obscure track to most would be remixed several years later by German techno pioneer Thomas P Heckmann. As obscure to most as the orignal would be it's killer remix.
This song will always land a spot in my all time top 10. It is that good.

After watching the Das Ist Elektro DVD of Rother playing live at Fuse Club. I think Anthony shows that his music comes from well within the heart and not from the pocket. You can't expect those who make music from the heart to keep going after the same emotions provoked in earlier releases to please everyone.
Mundo Muzique - Untitled - 14-Dec-04 01:55 AM
The first production to use the sound "Watt" off the Roland Juno 1 Keyboard. AKA The "Mentasm/Hoover" sound. Pre-Mentasm in the making. This record is extremely rare. Between 100-300 copies pressed.
Code Industry - 27-Jul-04 09:35 PM
Code Industry produced an interesting combination out of Industrial/Ebm and Detroit Techno. Formed in 1989 and based out of Detroit Code Industry became the first all black industrial group and the only one that I know ever existed to this day. Their first release went under the group name Code Assault on Alan Oldham's(T-1000) Technika imprint. This 12" only release featured a remix from none other the Detroit Wizard AKA Jeff Mills. Though this release went largely unnoticed it did make its way to the table of Antler Subway records in Belgium. Antler was interested in signing Code Assault which they pursued by contacting Alan Oldham. Somehow in the midst of the signing Alan got cut out of the deal which probably due to legalites with Alan and his label Technika led the band to change their name to Code Industry.
Code Industry went on soon after signing to release the mini EP "Structure" featuring a smooth as silk combo of dark Detroit Techno mixed and Industrial/Ebm layered with deep dark whispering lyrics. "Structure" is a solid EP of tracks from start to finish and very original to sya the least. Within a years time they released the album entitled "Method Of Assembly" on Antler combining once again the powerful seduction of Detroit Techno with hard Industrial/Ebm funkiness. A little over a year later(1992) they would release their second and last album called "Young Men Coming To Power". This album was only released on CD and was re-licensed back to the American label Caroline via Antler Subway. The album itself took quite a turn from their prior productions incorporating a more commercial sound utilizing guitars and adding major hip hop influences while leaving out the Detroit Techno flavour.
Was the world ready for a Public Enemy Industrial group? From what Ive gathered from inside sources this album was a huge flop for Caroline & Antler so perhaps not. Leaving me to question "what if" they would of kept to their techno influenced formula. Would they still be around? Mostly everyone else from that era of Detroit is.
If you are an avid fan of early Detroit techno I recommend checking out Structure especially for the track Fury. If you like early Underground Resistance you will not be disappointed. For Ebm/Industrialists I recommend both "Structure" & "Method Of Assembly" as well.
