Mauxuam - Viceversa - 20-Aug-08 03:54 PM
This is not the warm, fuzzy, uplifting Interchill you think you know. THIS release is all about the DOWNlift.
This is music to accompany the rush of adrenaline as you wait around a dark corner, about to beat someone's ass.
Music to have in the background while you tell extravagant lies.
Music that doesn't encourage a pleasant trip while under the influence of psychedelics.
Definitely NOT music to spin up for a sunrise party, unless you're spinning in a dungeon with vampires.
This is music to kill robots to.
Sending Orbs - 11-Sep-06 05:00 AM
After almost 2 years of existence, and with 5 brilliant releases (not including two forthcoming at the time of this post), I think it's safe to say that Sending Orbs is the new Merck, the new Clear, the new GPR... the newest standard label for lovers of IDM and "intelligent techno".
All five SO releases have so far been gloriously top-notch, evoking emotion and praise usually reserved for decade-old classics.
All five also feature beautiful artwork that is representative of each CD's character and mood.
This is an amazing start for ANY label... I am confident that Sending Orbs will be receiving ongoing praise for many years to come.
Reload - Amenity EP - 25-Aug-06 01:26 AM
*turning red*
Oh.... it's supposed to be played at 45rpm?
Well, add another embarrassed fool that was playing it at 33. It's still an amazing track, but it seems to lose a bit of its grandeur once you speed it up. Also, the middle driving section where everything is kicking is even shorter now... For me at least, after that lovely build, the rest could continue on for at least 5 more minutes.
Mylo - Destroy Rock & Roll - 21-Apr-06 03:15 AM
Although some have noted that track 8 samples Negativland's "Michael Jackson" from their classic "Escape From Noise", the sample source is actually the same for both songs: an obscure record featuring the infamous cult Church Universal & Triumphant (now also known as "The Summit Lighthouse").
On the record, their leader Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and other church leaders, lead worshippers through rapidly repeated prayers ("decrees") that the entire church says in unison - something along the lines of having a large room full of auction callers rapidly reciting the same passage.
The "Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, etc" portion of the recitation is a condemnation of rock-n-roll read by a church leader, and is the only one of the "decrees" that is actually understandable.
A brilliant use of this sample - arguably better than Negativland's use of it.

Fantastic deep, dark ambient... alternately evocative of Steve Roach, Lustmord and Kim Cascone.
