Dave Clarke - Archive One - 16-Oct-09 01:22 PM
Apparently this guy is really arrogant but dont let that bother you that aside this is probably clarkes finest production "archive one" collects various singles on different eps most notably the legendary "red series".Whats ironic is dave clarke is anti drugs yet he has produced some of the most tripped out techno of all time apparently the red series was inspired by "tronik house" aka kevin saunderson who also released some brilliant hardcore techno tracks on his kms label,stand out tracks would be "wisdom to the wise" which is dave clarkes master piece hypnotic to the core a seminal track along with storm full on techno with some wicked riffs.All in all a brilliant techno album you can listen to detroit no not really belgium.There is some detroit style techno for the mellow side so it offers appeal enjoy this definitive release
Black Dog Productions - Bytes - 15-Oct-09 03:00 AM
One of the definitive albums/Compilations the electronic genre has produced along with "Autechres incunabula" these were the best albums in the artificial intelligence series by far the only track missing on bytes is the Bali track "norte route" which came out on planet e but that tune aside its still revolutionary just listen to the first song object orient which gets my vote as there finest production its common knowledge that black dog consider bytes to be there favourite work even better than the book of dogma which collates there early eps.Whats also notable is how fresh it still sounds today a true gem.Enjoy!
Autechre - Incunabula - 19-Mar-09 04:28 PM
This is a truly great electronic album. If not the best one ever created. I have alot of intelligent techno albums. But as good as some of them our they dont stand up to this master piece !!.I dont no the terminology for what they use to discribe such beautifull tracks, All i know is i have never heard any think like this.I dont think talking about the tracks does any justice. You can listen contenty all the way through as opposed to some patchy albums under the same genre. I am very picky when it comes to what i like and dont like. This album is faultless.I cannot even compare it with any think i have in my collection like 'global communication' "76:14" And saw 85/92.This is my personal opinion which i'm sure many other people will share.Autechre went on to produce to more astounding albums. 'Amber' and 'Tri-repetae++'. Like the first reviewer i would give incunabula a slight advantage over the one's i've mentioned.Buy it and enjoy!!
Force Mass Motion - The Stone Of The 5th Sun - 11-Mar-09 05:59 PM
An amazing debut by force mass motion being released 1992 at the peak of hardcore techno-sound.It was hard to find most of these tracks on mix tapes,let alone a cd full of the original 12inch'es .The mode of construction on each of the eleven tracks is basically incongruous samples + looped breakbeats + oscillator riffs + piano-vamps and snipets of female vocals.What seperates his style from other similar tracks at the time is the under lying four to floor kick running underneath most of his tracks,making you want to get up and move. Stand out tracks would be 'panic' and 'reach up' but there is some really good underground tracks which our just as good as the ones i've mentioned.I think this is the best album he did,in a time when there was alot of trash going around if you like this check out his john + julie track 'Circles (visious mix).
Altern 8 - Full On .. Mask Hysteria - 10-Mar-09 03:26 PM
Like the first reviewer i have just managed to get a mint copy for a reasonable price.This album holds its price more consistently than any other rave album-Compilation. That tells you some think.All the tracks our brilliant rave stompers recieving massive play at large scale raves.If your into your old skool you will no that altern 8 appeared on "top of the pops" sporting there whacky image.They got the camera man to zoom in on the "vicks vapour rub".A nudge'nudge wink'wink to the ravers. which completly by passed the bbc sensors ! Because they just did not get it.I think this album is excellant but the prodigy's experience expanded version is just a little bit better sounding thats my personal opinion thats not to say this is any less of an album.You will notice there tracks appeared in most compilations this shows how popular they were. Even thou some of the tunes have a commercial feel to them they have aged extremely well.I play the cd all the time my favorites our "Move My Body"and infiltrate 202
