DJ Sneak - The Doing It In Frisco My Way EP - 10-Apr-08 05:48 AM
These originals that youre all talking about (lets also include Mr. Oizos recent "Patrick122" on EdBangers) are just simply all based on the 1978 funk track "Do It At The Disco" by Garys Gang (hence the titles "Garys Groove", "Doing it in Frisco" and so on).

So if we have to consider this or that as remixes of something, lets say "of Garys Gang !".

And what Im writing right now is only to reach the quota of words, as we all know there must be at least 75 words (which is quite long) to post a comment.

Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You - 24-Jun-07 01:33 PM
Youre at a party.

Then this track comes.

Youve just had the time to hear the eternal guitar gimmick, but its already done: you became insane.

Then Mr. Diamond starts to sing like hes possessed by Tom Jones, and you cry. You kiss your neighbours, you dance like its your last day on Earth, you scream, you raise arms.

This happens every time. And it always will.

The magic contained in that track remains a mystery, as it is ridiculously simple: a loop, some words, period. And that is exactly what makes this a work of genius, the type of genius that animated formerly the chicagoan house music makers: the Groove (with a capital G, like God). Loops repeated for hours, like a modern tribal dance. But "Music sounds better with you" took the Groove further, it took it to a worldwide appeal.

Dont just consider this track like a one-day top charts hit. "Music sounds better with you" is a milestone. This is an unbeatable monster of a song, everybodys anthem. Auditive cocaine, hypnosis for masses. Moistness and sex. Love and hope.

This is THE song.

Steve'n King - Bounce - 04-Apr-07 06:12 AM
I heard "Bounce" on a (horrible) radio today and this is a perfect (horrible) copy of Dj T.s "Freemind". To simulate creativity though, some ridiculous vocals and cheap siren sounds are added. The melody is also a tiny bit modified, but "Freemind" is still here, quietly running in the back, clear as crystal.

Please support real artists, buy the original.

Robag Wruhme - Kopfnikker - 25-May-06 03:14 PM
Ive just noticed that "Wortkabular" is based on samples of AGFs track "Pianos", which is featured on Mille Plateauxs "Clicks & Cuts 3" compilation (MP 116).

In fact, this could almost be considered as a remix, as every little sound in it is taken from "Pianos", except drums, but what does not make it a remix is that we can hear that Mr. Wruhme didnt have the separate tracks of it. He took samples of the normal song, like any anonymous bedroom producer!

These are two people hanging in the same musical sphere at the same time, who undoubtly have friends in common, or even know each other, and its quite funny to see one sample the other without being asked or allowed to!

Nevertheless, "Wortkabular" sounds like any other tipical Wruhme track, clever and groovy as hell, so like all the other tracks on the "Kopfnikker".
This release is really well worth having, as well as the marvellous "Clicks & Cuts 3" compilation, so get the both, mix the two fore-mentioned tracks, and win the Crate-Digger-Of-The-Week Award from your friends, you lucky boy!

Ready Made - Bold - 03-Apr-06 10:15 AM
"Bold" has been one of the strongest ear-opening phenomenon in my electronic music listeners youth, an unforgettable experience of what was possible to be made with a computer, and has clearly influenced my musical turn. This is pure laptop, but what the fuck has Mr. Verdin done to his laptop to bring out a so sublime and sensitive album ?
Just take the first track, "Funiculaire": could you have imagined how a bleep melody could be driven by sadness and joy simultaneously at a so high level ? How a techno track, almost a dancefloor track (in fact not "almost", it IS a dancefloor track for me, but it depends on how you consider a dancefloor), could contain so much humanity ? "Funiculaire" is the work of an adult with a childish innocence and musical genius, but could also have been what a young gifted child, thinking to all the things he has more to live in this world, the good and the bad things, could imagine on the way back from school.

"Bold" is Paris. Each time I put the needle on its grooves, I cant help but feel like Im sitting on a bench in Montmartre or slowly walking through the Jardin des Tuileries on a warm sunny day of beginning summer. I cant really explain why or how it makes me feel like that, but it sounds like an audible watercolour sketchbook of Paris streets in July. For those who know Paris a little (no need to know more, I only know Paris a little myself), it can be an evidence for the strangely haunting power of this album.
There is no bad track here, no filler, no highlight, just constant beauty and absolute perfection, from beginning to end, but each track can also stand alone nicely. Only two vocal tracks in a mostly instrumental album could easily have been out of coherence, but no. The first, "Sugarfuel", a digital jazz song, in which David Sylvian offers us some deep crooner brilliance, and the second, "Lonely Boy", some surprising and unnoticed hip-hop masterpiece with an insanely good Juice Aleem on the mic, even manage to become essential to Bolds stirring homogeneity.

By playing this album, you will find a dubby mix of purely synthetic sounds like crackling noises, distorted larsens, tiny error clicks or synth-made basslines along with (sometimes deliberately barely looped) sequences recorded from dusty vinyls, shyly sung words, and instruments which seem to be partly live recorded because of their bright acoustic or orchestral taste (but that could just be digital composing skill).

It is crazy how all the sounds here are the fruit of a methodical, nearly drastic, choice. No annoying "blips" or "bops". Of course, there are lots of "blips", lots of "bops" (dont forget its laptop music!) but none of them are here for free, and above all none of them are here to disturb the listening: they all are here for melody-building purposes and pure auditive pleasure.
We can still call that "experimental music", but Mr. Verdin has the tact, or the good taste, to turn his experimentations into a new form of soft and peaceful organic smoothness and semblance of clumsiness.

Here is the home of obvious beauty.
This has caught me at a time of 18 years old teenage dullness, so it is obvious beauty.

So, if you once have to demonstrate to someone that poetry can be made with a computer, bring him "Bold", then he will be by your side. No doubt about that.
