Sperminator - No Woman Allowed - 15-Jun-09 05:56 PM
Really bogus record featuring a voice sample saying ... you guessed it - No Women Allowed. Anybody who bought this as a serious purchase is obviously a sad little man who needs to find a bit of taste. I actually feel sorry for the producer. Its very noisy and nasty as you would expect. Turd Gabba guff for dancers with a spring up their arses, not to mention whatever else they may have jammed up there! The kind of record that gives techno a very bad name. It came along with the onslaught of rejects at the time, trying to make techno music that was harder than Aphex Twin. I did know somebody who bought this, which is why i know what it sounds like. I had to put up with it after going to his place for an after party. He invited girls along too - then played this. As you can imagine, he is a dick!

Aphex Twin - Xylem Tube E.P. - 17-Jul-08 10:16 AM
Xylem Tube is a truly superb piece of electronic music history. It came at a time when I used to ask if Aphex Twin had any new tracks out yet. As soon as he pulled it out from behind the counter, I knew it was something special. That logo (the first time i had seen it) and that sleeve. I loved R records as they always had the best tracks. The sleeves ALWAYS had a mistake on them (check out the starfish with the line running through the middle of the bottom left arm) but they got the track names correct this time. From the second the needle hit the firstv note of Polynomia, I thought YES! and new I had just bought my favourite record that year. Didgeridoo had blown me away but Xylem tube had something else. Its 150 fathoms deep sound (not just Polynomia) and rhythms were so organic. It has a life of its own . So hard and beautiful at the same time. If there was a long dark corridoor with a ceiling as high as St. Pauls Cathederal which led to the gates of hell, Its soundtrack would be Dodeccahedron (on the vinyl, the sleeve has it wrong as usual). It is dark and brooding with sounds that can only be described as a demented human voice sampled from an insane asylum. The strings are very beautiful and give the track a classical music feel. It shows you the skill and musical knowledge of Mr. James, not just blown away by PCP fuelled, turbo thrusting, mach10, M60 sub-machine gun warped mindfu*k. Probably my favourite EP by AFX of all time. I was there at the start and to this day, as written by somebody else reviewing this record, this is RDJ in a moment of pure unadulterated genius and i recommend this record whole heartedly. If you dont like it, you should go and buy a Take That tribute album.

Kraftwerk - Expo Remix - 14-Jul-08 05:34 PM
As a double -pack, this record is not really up to muck. Take away the Underground Resistance mixes and you have a double A-side to die for. The Orbital mix takes a Kraftwerk track and makes it what it should be to such great effect. It pays homage to the original so much but with an underlying in-imatable Orbital style. A real crowd pleaser (tested many times). The Francois K mix is superb deep chugging house that can be likened to Abe Duques What Happened. Perfectly executed underground house music for those in the know. The UR mixes are just bang, bang, bang for the sake of it. They have done nothing creative with the track at all. They had 2 goes at it for Gods sake. I like Underground Resistance but this is acyually offensive to Kraftwerk.

N-25 - Unauthorized EP - 13-Apr-08 07:00 PM
I cant say that much for most of the tracks here except one which featured regularly in Dave Angels techno mixes wherever he played. Its the track Corruption. It is is hard, heavy, distorted fucked up techno music typical of the scene in 93. It has the sample Mr.President, do you deny links with organised crime to which he repliesabsolutely, Im only involved in disorganised crime. Its an absolute stormer guaranteed to take your head clean off!

Meat Beat Manifesto - Satyricon - 13-Dec-07 06:19 AM
There is something special and important about this album. It is a concept album about society, Its consumption and ability to be influenced by advertising and politics without individual thought. A society of numb, sheep-like creatures who allow ourselves to be controlled without realisation or care that we are programmed. The sample work is second to nothing you have ever heard with pin-point placement between old American TV ads and statements from the general public and fine industrial techno. In terms of techno music, Mr. Jack Dangers is up there in the top three innovators of the past twenty five years and I imagine feels a sense of pride or acheivement with this album. I like most of the stuff MBM have done but this has to be the swan song. After this LP he made darker and weirder and harder but never quite managed to create something quite so perfect as Satyricon. But then, how do you improve on perfection.
Anybody skipping through this LP or not giving it full attention may not see what the fuss is about but this really should be listened to on the headphones or alone to get the full effect. Also, if you are going to get this album on vinyl, make sure you get the double pack as it containd extra tracks which I always saw as part of the main story anyway.
