Various - Bedrock: Mixed And Compiled By John Creamer & Stephane K - 02-Aug-07 04:27 AM
For two guys who have done some seriously filthy remixes, this compilation was quite a disappointment. High points? The two peace division tracks. The rest is very forgettable, ranging from tolerable to downright irritating. However, it will have a soft spot in my heart for turning me on to Peace Divisions "Do You See Me?" which may be be one of the illest tracks i have had the pleasure of hearing.

Jeff Mills - The Extremist - 15-Apr-07 11:18 AM
Im sure the rabid Jeff Mills anus-licking crew will lynch me for this one...but i just dont get the hype about Mills. I picked this up and have listened to it three times, and i am just not overly impressed. It is loud, yes. It is hard, highly compressed, and has a hint of "industrial" sound to it. But there really is not anything that musically stands out. Mushy hard techno with the standard boom-tiss-boom-tiss motif.

At the time it was released i imagine it turned a few heads, but it is one of those "ok, its something new and different" type releases that steadily works its way to the back of the box, then the back of the stacks under the tables. maybe i just never saw the appeal of the "boom-shhh boom-tick" minimal techno sound. However, be that as it may i will say it is ok, but there are some really stellar releases that came out around the same time that still make frequent trips to my decks. This one will hang around as a collectors item, but likely will gather dust.

Annick - Give It To Me - 10-Apr-07 07:51 AM
Ms. Annick makes her musical debut here with an absolutely amazing piece of work. The depth and profundity of her lyrics can only be matched by such stunning greats as Mario Pius "Somebody Answer The Phone," or perhaps, if i may stretch a bit, 20 Fingers "Lick It."

The musical complexity contained herein also boggles the mind, with such masteful use of the Playskool digital piano as to render the listener speechless in awe. The intricate use of both a kick drum AND a snare drum left me wanting for words.

I am confident that as more producers become familiar with the crown of Ms. Annicks head, we shall (hopefully) hear a sophomore offering to rival this smashing debut.

Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen - 16-Oct-06 01:11 PM
I dug this out of the bins after a ten year hiatus not having a copy...i miss music like this. Sincere, fun, sometimes poignant, but altogether music you can enjoy on a visceral as well as ephemeral level (christ i need to dumb it down!!). This kind of music used to be called "alternative" when that meant something. Not too polished despite Thomas Dolby producing, sounds fresh and well...real. This album takes me back to the rather awkward days of my teenage years, and i now get a warm, comforting feeling listening to it and recalling the angst of those days. Comfort music for the awkward soul, or something of that ilk. Musically charming without being overbearing, nice incorporation of piano, a few synth lines, some good old Johnny Marr style driving Rickenbacker rhythm lines, an altogether excellent muscial. Add in charming, poignant, and sometimes embarrasingly sophmoric lyrics (all the better for it), and there you have it.

Thomas Krome - The Real Jazz - 22-Jul-06 02:00 AM
The "A" side on this one is just ho-hum. The Dahlback remix on the flip, however, is a percussive masterpiece. Nice syncopated rhythms with a techy feel to the hi end, a growling bass line that shakes the windows, and various and sundry other elements of percussion blend together to make this a funky, yet simple track. Add to the driving percussion exquisite use of builds and fades, and a killer vocal sample, and voila! Nice one to stack in a set at three or four points coming in over the top, works every time to give you some extra "ooomph." Excellent, my pretties!!!
