Vitalic - Poney EP - 25-May-09 02:48 PM
Check out Poney Part I - I have only just got my hands on it and heard it (2009) and it is absolutely shocking how similar it is to Plaids "Marry" from their 2003 album titled "Spokes".
You need to accept that there are inherent differences in terms of genre/tempo, but the theme and melody are almost identical. Marry is like an IDM rework of this epic electro techno cut.
This is a really solid EP all-round, with La Rock 01 turning heads at the time of the release as I remember.

Such a powerful record - real influences are coming through from Boards of Canada production on here.
Really a 30 minute journey through meandering "severely electronified hip-hop" (a quote from the sleeve), with a really lost-in-the-darkness vibe. In a really good way, the track Next Door (Remix) has a really arabic vibe. Check it out and you may understand a little more clearly...
A mysterious piece of vinyl. A great find if you manage to seize one of the 100 white vinyl copies.

What a guy! Just look at his picture whilst you listen to the track he produced under Azoto called "Anytime or Place". So, so special. Italo Disco had its king in this man, and thats gotta be a good thing.
I think that aforementioned track, taken from the "Disco Fizz EP" (1979) is one of the most unheard of, hard-to-find and expensive gems you might ever stumble into in your local charity shop. If you ever find a copy of it, take good care of it.
Italo Disco from late 70s - early 80s is an epic win!
Nick Warren - Global Underground GU35: Lima - 18-Oct-08 04:19 PM
What an awesome 2 disc set! Im so happy that the GU label is back on track, sticking to its founding principles with their key veteran, Nick Warren.
This is silky, modernised progressive house and trance music, fused in a versatile and trendy way with the neo-minimal 4/4 tech-house sounds currently doing the rounds. Very happy - the best GU mix and release from Mr Warren himself since his Reykjavik mix under GU# 24. 5/5 :)

Boards Of Canada - The Campfire Headphase - 27-Aug-08 06:55 AM
I think that the title can be seen as summing up this album aptly - judge this book by its cover...
It has taken much criticism on the chin, mainly from their die-hard fans. I think the mildly analogue-warmed, fuzzy guitars and chilled trip-hop suit a chilled campfire session with your good friends. Just dont forget to bring the biftas, as BoC build a calming fire on the hill, looking back over their decidedly trippy, moody past and looking over the brow towards their next album, which no-one will know what to expect from.
A clever move I think - the right thing for them to have released in 2005...
