Doc Martin - URBmix Vol. 1: Flammable Liquid - 20-Jul-04 03:50 PM
Classic tech-house/house tracks that were played at almost every party at that time. Mix is sometimes sort of dark with a warm vibe (much different from the direction Martin went to later on). Definetly has the vibe of the techno-house parties in the mid 90's; Acid, tribal percussion and thumping house beats. If you see this CD and are a fan of Techno/tech-house/Acid house/Detroit/Deep House, don't pass it by. I couldn't count how many times I have listened to it.

DJ Rolando a.k.a. Aztec Mystic, The - Revenge Of The Jaguar - The Mixes - 14-Oct-03 08:10 AM
From what I remember reading, Sony tried to "steal" this track and remix it into a club trance version. After sending threatening letters to UR, Sony gave up and sent the remixed version over to BMG. The project apparently died after that. I don't know if this is all, if any, true.

Jeff Mills - 29-Sep-03 06:52 AM
Jeff Mills (along with asrock) was the founding member of the industrial/techno outfit "Final Cut" from about '89 to '91. Asrock continued the "Final Cut" project including work on the LP 'Consumed' with Skinny Puppy's Ogre and (i think) Ministry's Chris Connelly (it has been a while). "Final Cut" is still around today. Jeff Mills continued on with a successful techno career. Mills is one of my favorite techno producers/artist. From hard pounding, to warm jazzy detroit, to funky tribalish beats, to spacey futuristic minimal ambience, Mills covers all corners of the techno genre. You could fit in one or two of his tracks in any techno set.

Kraftwerk - Tour De France Soundtracks - 15-Sep-03 08:54 AM
That last comment was very entertaining. 'Tour De France' is truly a great album, and gets better and better the more I listen to it. There are only few of many musical artists that really have made a real impact on music history. Kraftwerk is definetly one of the few. They've done it some 30+ years ago. Why ask for anything else from them? They have released enough influential and innovative material. I look at 'Tour De France' as not being inspired by modern electronic usic, but inspired by their own material. 'Tour De France' doesn't sound that much different to me than say, 'Computer World'. Yes it is 20+ years later, but it is still Kraftwerk. There hasn't been many, if any, artists that we can say truly revolutionize music more than once in their career (especially not some 30 years later); an artist that truly created a new form of music twice, that inspired an entirely new generation of artists. I think that may be what some were expecting from 'TDF Soundtracks'.

Vapourspace - Themes From Vapourspace - 12-Sep-03 06:21 AM
One of the alltime best techno LP's to date, IMO. The album is meant to be heard from start to finish. Classic techno tracks 'Gravitational Arch of 10' and 'Vista Humana' are featured on this release. Intelligent, ambient techno full of analog warmth.
