I'm into : Future jazz, dub, electro, italo, disco, deep house, progressive house, d'n'b, IDM.

I listen to various non-electronic genres of music, including classical music. Everything from multi-channel hi-fi recordings to 78rpm records.

- I DON'T TRADE MP3's
- I DON'T WANT eBAY OFFERS

Besides that feel free to ask about trading/swapping (btw I prefer vinyl, and I prefer swapping). If you have questions about any of the releases in my collection, just ask I'll be pleased to help.

**I'm away (no internet) working most of 2004, 2005 & 2006 - that's why I don't answer the majority of emails about buying/swapping**

Reviews:

Maxi Jazz - The Maxi-Single (More Of What You Need) - 17-Nov-03 08:48 AM
Track A2 "What More Can I Say" contains more or less the same lyrics as used some 3-4 years later on the Faithless track "Reverence", also rapped by Maxi Jazz. Many elements in the music too can be linked to "Reverence" (the track), making the record interesting if you're a Faithless fan. Besides that not very interesting, and the production of the sound is quite bad.

Kosheen - Hungry - 04-Jul-03 05:59 AM
The Substance & Decoder and the Tomiie mixes are really good, but especially the Tomiie mix looses all energy when edited as all the mixes are on this record. A shame to release a 'cut up' thing like this. Get the full length mixes instead.

Emiliana Torrini - Love In The Time Of Science - 02-Jul-03 04:17 PM
This is basically a singer/songwriter album but Emiliana Torrini has a great interest in experimental music (She was a member of the icelandic group 'Gus Gus'). The diversity in the production of the tracks (each track has its ound 'sound') in addition to the incredible singing is what makes this album stand out. No matter what kind of music you are into, this cd is worth a listen.

Claude Challe - Flying Carpet - 13-May-03 03:14 PM
This is a pre 'Buddha-Bar' release by Claude Challe and not pressed in as many copies. It's a bit hard to find, but if you think the Buddha-Bar collections are just not exotic enough, then try this...and you'll be flying around your living room? or in North African? or maybe somewhere in the Middle East. If you understand all the lyrics on this one then you're the lingo-master!

Nils Petter Molvær - Khmer (Remixes) - 02-May-03 05:08 PM
You don't really know what too expect when listening to a remix disc like this, except for the moody trumpet of Nils Petter Molvær, it's unavoidable on every track. Besides that the crossover is amazing, from the relaxing rythms of Herbaliser to the techno sounds on 'Tløn'. If you like a dark moody trumpet and various genres of electronic music, this disc is 100% worth the exploration.
