Stuff I'm into (in no order):
Richard D. James and all his aliases, Techno, Bunker Records, Crème Organization, MinimalRome, Viewlexx, Electro, Industrial, Detroit Techno, Old Chicago House, Disco, Old Funk/Soul, Trunk Records, Library Music, Weird Film & TV Music (especially horror soundtracks), Italo Disco, Danny Wolfers and all his aliases (seriously, this guy is amazing, don't think he's released a bad track yet), Strange Life Records, Acid/Acid House, Rephlex, 'Experimental' music in general, Carl Craig and all his aliases, Krautrock/Weird old Psych Rock stuff, Hip Hop (particularly Old School stuff), Old School Electro, Early Electronic stuff like The Radiophonic Workshop, Jazz... Generally I'm open to absolutely anything from ambient to the harshest noise that's available :).

You may notice I rate a lot of stuff in my collection 5/5. That's generally cause I tend to buy music that I like, and I'm also not a cynical bastard and don't take the ratings too seriously :). Having said that though I do have a few crappy records in my collection, but I'm hopefully going to be weeding those out over the next few months via ebay.

Also have another couple of hundred records sitting about that aren't on discogs yet, hopefully I'll get around to adding them some day... :).

Yeah, I really do want everything on my wantlist, and about a million other releases that I've not had time to add - so much awesome music, so little time...

Priority wants (stuff not listed for sale on the marketplace):
Squadra Blanco CDr
European Tribute to John Carpenter CDr
Night of the Living Dead OST (the original) - the original has never been re-issued on CD :(

If you're willing to sell me any of the above please get in touch :).

Louis Guilliaume - Soulpoint I - 04-Jul-08 02:41 PM
Every tune on this record is great, but The Syncom Lock remix could quite possibly be the best banging techno track released in 2008!

Ridiculously awesome bass drum production on the 4/4 beats, and when that bass kicks in around the 50 second mark... wow, this tune will blow the roof off of any club its dropped in. Dont sleep on this one!

I now eagerly look forward to any production that Louis Guilliaume is involved in, hopefully well have lots of his work to look forward to in the future.

For ‘Meat Grinder’, Madlib has used as his beats and bass line a sample from a pretty obscure library music track called ‘Hula Rock’ by The Lew Howard All-Stars, which was originally recorded for the Bosworth library, suggesting he might be or was at some point a library music digger. The track was also commercially released by UK library music guru Jonny Trunk, on the first record that he put out on his own label, Trunk Records, which was a compilation of tracks from the Bosworth archive which were recorded in the 60s and 70s.

This record is worth owning for Headcase alone, which has to be one of the heaviest drum & bass tracks ever made.

I was lucky enough to be at a DJ set by Richard D. James at the Glasgow Barrowlands in April of 2006, and when he dropped this tune I thought that the roof was going to cave in - myself and everyone around me were banging our heads and going mental, just awesome!

Dont sleep on this one - an essential record for any fans of hard and dark drum & bass.

Massive respect to Evol Intent & Ewun.

For me Drama is one of the most amazing and emotional pieces of techno that Ive ever heard. Those synth & bass lines are just so soulful, and the perfectly produced 4/4 beats are just the icing on the cake. I must have listened to this tune about 30 or 40 times the day that I discovered it, and to me, even 17 years on it still doesnt sound the least bit dated. Just a shame that Ill probably never have the opportunity to hear it played in any clubs in my area.

I want this tune played at my funeral!

Venetian Snares + Speedranch - Making Orange Things - 22-Nov-06 04:52 AM
This record is one of the most brutal, pulverizing noise assaults ever, and thats why I love it so much! However this isnt just straight up noise along the lines of somebody like Merzbow, and after a few listens you really come to appreciate how rhythmic it can be.

Not a weak track on here, but the stand outs for me are Fire Beats, Cheatin with its gabber beats and Patsy Cline sample, and Unborn Baby, which features a hillarious sample of someone chanting "unborn baby" and another sample of a cheesy guitar riff from some so called classic rock song that I cant remember the name of.
