Reinhard Voigt - Recht Erst Jetzt - 30-Apr-05 05:23 AM
I am not a big fan of R.V. but I decided to buy this release only because the synths on the B track blew me away. Once I had a chance to listen to this record properly, my opinion of it is as follows:

Side A didnt catch my attention on the slightest; perhaps one or two interesting sounds, but nothing happens in this track! It doesnt evolve in any kind of way. It could be that there is no purpose to evolve, but the sounds that seemed interesting become boring after 3 minutes of listening to the same.

Side B. The synths on this track are amazing: they have lots of character, dimension, volume and power. But the whole experience is, imho, spoilt by extremely annoying crashes and hi-hats which took al my attention and made me forget about the great synths. I really want to play this, but not until I have the means to filter out those crashes and hi-hats. And then, when theyre silenced, my opinion is that this tune will sound just perfect.

Skylab - River Of Bass / Electric Blue - 30-Apr-05 05:22 AM
This record is produced in space, I am convinced of that. Inspired by other worlds, by the big unknown, by the magnitude of the "surreality" out there.

"Electric Blue" is spacey and extremely trippy. Its a beatless depiction of an ice cavern, inhabited by some kind of ethereal souls. Or perhaps its the sounds of different spheres crashing in the electric blue sky doted with moons.

"River Of Bass" is enigmatic and catchy. Great downtempo stuff. A perfect balance of wobbly sounds and great beatdrums which seem to go on at different levels, but harmomically together.

Technological Terror Crew - The Ripper - 19-Apr-05 01:08 AM
Listening to this record definately shapped my musical tastes. All I thought about hardcore was that it was annoyingly noisy and stupidly fast. It was hearing The Ripper and not being able to stop laughing. Hardcore suddenly entered my world: it was all about fun, and extremes; it was an act and a nonsensical state of mind. I am quite gutted I dont have this on vinyl, although its probably a blessing since I would play it out at any chance.

Bowling Green, The - The Receptionist E.P. - 06-Mar-05 03:37 AM
I found this record on the way to the skip. The owner must have forgotten about this, not giving it the credit that it deserves. "Light from a different sun" is one of the most amazing downtempo tunes i have ever heard and has become one of my all time favourites. The title suggests life forms, but not the ones known to us. Yet, with its pulse, the powerful vocals and interesting synths, this tunes penetrates some of the most remote places in the soul, where freaks and weirdoes are dormant, and then aknowledged and accepted by this music. The other two tunes are quite good too, specially A2, although, in my opinion, A1 is the best with a difference, and makes the record well worth buying. If you ever come across this release, dont let it go.

Glenn Underground - C.V.O. Elements EP - 04-Nov-04 04:01 AM
This is a very beautiful release. All of the tracks in here are very deep and fluffy. It makes you feel happy and awakens a love for live that is simple, yet full. One not to miss.
