DiLATiON - Tales From A Wee Man - 28-Nov-08 11:58 AM
Debut full length techno shennanigans from the Coat Avoiding Geordie, showcasing the tiny fellas talents. A mixed bag of techno styles with acidic overtones for good measure, befitting of the DiLATION moniker for which the Ickle Geordie Rage Machine has spent the majority of his music production recording under, before the advent of the wondrously titled Cedric von Flugel, purveyor of all things hardcore.
And finally, whoever came up with the album title must be some sort of genius.

Its a shame this artist has such a limited back catalogue of released material. Music with a distinctly old-school style with more than a hint of Chicago shining through. Quality stuff, and if you ever get the opportunity to catch a live performance, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Monoceros - Reverse_It! - 22-Oct-06 01:42 PM
Simply stunning 8 track album from Monoceros, lush sounds, punctuating drums and percussive elements. Each track has that distinctive trademark sound and feel of the previous material and sits nicely in my collection alongside the excellent When I Was A Child I Wanted To Be An Astronaut.
If I ever make music of this quality and beauty, I will die a happy man.

Various - Populism - 25-Apr-06 11:10 AM
Another excellent release from the Segment label, taking new work from four of the more established artists on the label with debut pieces from the other six, making it a strong indicator of the labels ideas and the direction in which it plans to take the listener.
Starting with a debut track, Montage by Seychal-Mills, an absolute cracker of a track, subtle piano, deep bass and excellent percussion, its a great start and gave me hope for the rest of the compilation.
Hope ripped away by the Sevenless track that followed, glitchy beats to start, overly aggressive rapping and a track unlike anything Id heard previously on the label, and to be honest it would do me no harm to hear no more like it, as it doesnt really fit with the other tracks.
Back on form with Nurphobe by [techlure] though, another debut track, reminiscent of early Artificial Intelligence era Warp.
The good form continues with I/DEX - Aviris, where the glitchy beginning gives way to an ambient track of considerable quality.
Another debut track follows, Abyss and the Diving Babies by Ephemeris, making excellent use of subtle piano and languid beats to create the flow into the h.t.t.p track that follows, Illusory Copy, a haunting track with deep drums and glitchy beats, loads of reverb and some wonderful sounds.
Randomajestiq provides the next track, Danu, a 4/4 deep techno track that gets better the more you listen to it, as does DJ Kis All of Jazz, jazz influenced bass and drums with a really nice melody to compliment it.
The last two tracks though are two of the best Ive heard on the label.
Autisms sublime Wizard of Cords, rather forunately submitted to the label just prior to a live performance in New York in which the artists hard drive crashed, shows the excellent progression that Vadim Militsin is making towards more recognition and acknowledgement of his undoubted talents.
The final track is another gem, Inbues Dreaming of Aeon, again with languid beats and haunting piano melodies, a superb track.
So, with the exception of just one track, this is a truly excellent compilation, with the only drawback being its availabilty soley in mp3 format.
Tunes this good deserve to be immortalised forever on vinyl, not exist purely in digital form.
The label, unfortunately, disagrees.
But for a free download, its highly recommended and you may just find something that will move you.

Nirvana - In Utero - 10-Jan-06 04:53 AM
Rumoured to be have originally been titled I Hate Myself and I Want To Die, In Utero was a marked improvement on the previous 2 albums, Bleach and Nevermind, and offered glimpse of what might have been had things not turned out the way they did.
This album would be my recommended start point for anyone not familiar with Nirvana.
Hard, fast, energetic for the most part but with tracks that showed another side to the band, a side highlighted on the excellent Unplugged in New York album.
The fact that theres a 15 to 20 minute gap of silence between tracks 12 and 13, is made less tedious to skip through by the quality of the track thats hidden, a real gem surpassed on the album by only a handful of tracks, including the sublime All Apologies, the almost balladic Heart Shaped Box and the superbly aggressive Scentless Apprentice, one of my favourite tracks ever by any artist, any genre.

"I lie in the the soil and fertilize mushrooms,
Leaking out gas fumes made into perfume"

RIP and thanks.
