Growling Mad Synchro - Velociraptor / Bandicoot On The Run - 06-May-04 08:53 PM
The b-side "bandicoot on the run" has one of the most fun 3/4 time signature sections of any record I've ever heard. It's truely ludicrous and worth the while, and surrounded by "normal" 4/4 dance music so it's convenient to mix.

Organic Noise - Vacuum Tube - 06-May-04 08:49 PM
This was in my collection, but I traded it years ago. The best part of Organic Noise is the bass at the beginning of "Spastic Elastic" and the pressing of this album just didn't do the bass credit. I hope to pick up a copy of the single which was pressed on TIP's press, which is much better (better set up?)

Good choons, but I really just bought it for the intro to spastic elastic, and it didn't deliver the way I had hoped.

Man With No Name - Teleport (Remixes) - 05-May-04 03:43 PM
I don't understand why this track was remixed the way it has been. It's almost like it's been half transformed into commercial trance for the purposes of play in the new era. Bollocks to that! I much prefer the original.

Incredible Melting Man, The - Red Skull - 11-Apr-04 08:44 AM
Great bassline- house mix and breaks mix, both well put together so you can fit this record into lots of different sets. I love this record because it's not only one of those records that mixes well with a large variety of tracks, but it also is a dancefloor destroyer itself.

The sitar part makes me think that this may be a more-or-less direct rip of Meat Katie's Midikiller- the track that more-or-less started "Nu-Skool Breaks" (perhaps the track that popularised that genre? Who can tell with underground music, even a genre that got nearly as much hype as SpeedGarbage)

Anyway, killer track in any case.

Starfish Pool - Amplified Tones - 11-Apr-04 08:38 AM
This record is the sound of my teenaged angst.

My hatred of high school is summed up entirely in the harsh, sustained feedback and noise of Observe and Non-Intervention. My malaise and boredom are represented by the slow, melancholic repetition of Instigation and Lackland. My hopes and dreams (such as they were), even manage to be summed up by the techno-ish "C" side- the most upbeat side of the record. Although these tracks are indeed quite dreary, looking back, the almost acidic "hook" in Undraped (if you can call it a hook), certainly had a great influence on my taste in techno, which was blossoming at the same time as my adolescent depression.

This recording is a historic document for me. I've currently got it in my collection AND my wantlist, because my copy is dusty and scratched. I came across the CD version of this album and was quite dissapointed to find that the tracks on the vinyl were treated as component parts of the CD release, which seems to layer the different tracks together. Terrible- in my opinion, the bleak sparseness of this recording is the whole point. I just wish I had a copy where the surface noise wasn't as loud as the music.
