Van Der Graaf Generator May 10, 2012 (edited 16 days ago)
Very very influential band to the punk movement, which it predated for at least a decade, thanks to its nihillistic lyrics and their sometimes avant-garde and dissonant jamming, not to menyion the high esteem it was regarded by Johnny Lydon of the Sex Pistols, among other mavericks of the punk scene...

Great review, as always Mr. Alain Patrick!
not this time, i guess...
Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine Feb 05, 2012 (edited 3 months ago)
My first Kraftwerk record, bought in 1979. Back then this innovative album sounded so futuristic and alien it seemed from another world altogether. And indeed it was, from the world of the-future-to-come. From this album on Kraftwerk got shamelessly closer to pop music - for the sake of pop music, because it was their own interpretation of pop, many times badly understood, but that would reveal itself highly influential.
DeepChord - dc12 Dec 27, 2011
This release is comprised of three very different tracks. O1 is as deep as one can get, with just a slo-mo bassline and beats and little else while on the flip side the other two tracks are more full of detail, my favorite being OO2 with its groovy rhythm.
Circulation - Colours Dec 27, 2011
Circulation took tech and minimal house to a whole new level with this series. Very well crafted tracks and excellent DJ tool.
Well, I guess there are many idiotic buyers out there, after all... Shame!
Massive Attack vs Burial - Four Walls / Paradise Circus Nov 12, 2011 (edited 5 months ago)
No big deal, too much hype for a piece of plastic... The track, however, might be worth a listen... just get a decent mp3 rip if you're still curious, end of story.
Kraftwerk - Autobahn Oct 29, 2011 (edited 7 months ago)
One of my first records. This electropop tour-de-force sounded very odd at the days, maybe pressaging what was about to be, because it is easier to understand this non-stop groove today than when it came out... History was being made back then and although today it is so familiar, side A still sounds very modern and fresh! Side B is very dated but nonetheless fun to hear.
