Robert Armani - Gene Hunt - K.Alexi* - Chicago Triple Threat - 22-Apr-09 07:13 AM
Man what a disappointment, I bought this with a very open mind, but it is a very awkward collection of tunes and programmed in a way that makes it come off as very spurr of the moment in a way that seems careless. I can understand recording a set like a live pa for example but this never goes anywhere and is filled with silly samples used over and over and over. Every year I try to give it a listen but just cant even make it thru each song and get so mad the entire 3 cds of tunes are prettymuch garbage. I respect all 3 artists on this collection too, I love most of their other works and have some all time favorites from each of these world class producers, but man this album is like a classic example of what NOT to do on a release.

I just heard Vague Visions on a mix from ToniHC entitled DubbyDub and Vague Visions is a track I have longed to find out more about for a decade now. It has some powerful chords and offbeat timing for the chord stabs that make this a hypnotic techno masterpiece. One of the all time great tunes but surely buried by how much was released at the time and how quickly the techno sound was progressing and evolving into garbage, leaving songs like this left in the dust like an ancient artifact waiting to be found by someone like me with an interest in classic techno productions.

its the kind of track that sets minimal techno in a league of its own. simple at the start, but midway thru the track the synth filters are opened up and the hihats shuffle with ferocity and break thru the mix, fostering some heightened emotions for a high point of the track but with subtle touches that techno heads would appreciate. the tune twiddles back down to something of a feel good techno solid state of being and simmers into a heart warming experience by the tracks end. simple but effective, among the great tunes from Rob Hood, Dan Bell, Richie Hawtin, etc. sad to see a song like this almost lost in the files of discogs... its a complete monster of a track and just an excellent piece of work.

Vapourspace is one hell of a producer and has a deep understanding of electronic music gear and production work. Never really appreciated in his hometown, but he was completely loved by Europes techno fans of the 90s and his smash hit Gravitation Arch of 10 solidified his place in history among the techno greats. A quiet and humble man, he is always happy to share ideas and his wealth of knowledge to any up and coming producer or dj, I think that deserves respect as many well known djs and producers get a complex from the spotlight. Im shocked there arent any reviews of this artist yet on here but if you need to know more there is plenty on his website, be sure to check out the list of shows he has played over the years, he was a pioneer of the live PA techno setup.

Gene Hunt - Comin' Your Way - 14-May-08 01:19 PM
Oh what a good record this is, super strong sound and clean production keep this a top notch piece of vinyl. Ive played this out many times and always have someone peeking over the decks to see what this is, no matter which tune is playing, any 3 of these will be music to the ears of electronic music buffs

Jazzie is my favorite track, its rather timeless with a solid house feel but no cheese factor. With one of the best sounding beefy big 808 bass drums I have ever heard, it cuts thru the mix and powers the song right into the wide eyed listeners as they smile at the rib pounding kicks. The synth riffs are definitely jazzy and while kind of mellow they do have enough spice to make a memorable impression. Very good programming and while being a simple tune, Jazzie is something that just sounds amazing and its for many reasons. Think of early morning or fat minimal sounds with a bit of house sounds creeping in over some technoish drums, its just superb.

Comin Your Way is solid and has a great vocal hook and some weird percussion to liven things up, very cool song.

Get Freaky is something you can fit into a Robert Armani style set, it has the clashing snares and sizzling hihats that really bring out an oldschool feel and toughen the tune into techno status. The wobbling bassline certainly is "freaky" and is just another way youll hear Gene Hunt come up with something special. This guy is a solid producer and this record is an A+ in my book, 3 tunes that he can hold high with pride.

Question - 30-Apr-08 05:20 AM
The Question series was a great find for me in the late 90s being on the hunt for Marco Carola tunes. Each Question release offers 4 strong tracks ranging from minimal to really groovin tunes but all wrapped around a space-echod dubby sound that is chill and relaxed but not boring or washed out. The production is impeccable as are most tunes from Marco and the sounds are first class. These records are timeless for me, they will always have a place in the hall of techno to represent that dub-tech flavor, the Question Series has avoided the typical sounds of a house track... these are definitely techno, no doubt about it.
