Smiths, The - 21-Jun-05 11:22 AM
I think Johnny Marr knew exactly what he was after when choosing to collaborate with Morrissey in 1982. These songs would be absolute relics; the most cutting edge folk songs ever to have been composed. With such an inspiring word-smith, and a perfectly suited rhythm section of Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke, Marr dug effortlessy deep; producing tastefully-sparkling gems via outstanding guitar arrangements that mirrored Morrissey's unique slant on events and emotions.
Virgo - Free Yourself - 21-Jun-05 12:58 AM
I was just thinking about the few amazing Virgo tracks that I've ever heard. Thought I'd check out the comments for 'Free Yourself' and so must add some more high praise. It's the only one I've heard off the EP so far (it's on the FK Essential Mix), and indeed it is deeper, more atmospheric, and colourfully-textured than anything. A strange piece of transportational beauty. Very hard to believe that such a track could ever be conceived at any point in time. As though when you stop listening to it, it has ceased to have ever existed.
Various - Classic House Mastercuts Volume 2 - 21-Jun-05 12:58 AM
Worth obtaining this compilation primarily due to the rare inclusion of a record that has astonishingly managed to avoid any attention (even the sleeve-notes here skip along without a specific comment to this track's relevance): 'Strings of Life (unreleased mix)' by Rhythim is Rhythim. A collaboration between Derrick May and Carl Craig (in 1989, I think) resulted in this sublime re-loving of the classic song. Contains every aspect of life throughout all imagination. More subtle than any other electronic dance track I have yet heard. Timeless: because it's so unique, it sounds like it's necessarily always been there: the statement the track makes would support this idea.
Doc Martin - Fabric 10 - 04-May-05 05:19 AM
Perhaps it would be going too far to call a 70 minute mix album a work of genius: it probably is, but the extremely loose term of the word is necessary just to highlight the pure quality and skill that Doc Martin presents here. I have listened to this mix on and off since it came out a couple of years ago, and its majestic flow of deep-groove tracks (which are blended faultlessy) send me to a beatiful atmosphere of space/deepest-jungle extra-ordinariness. That's as much as can really be said about it without going astray.
Mark Williams - Latin Sessions EP - 01-Nov-04 10:31 PM
'Latin Sessions' conjours an image of a African tribal procession up in the clouds. It is as though emancipation is about to be granted, and the relentless, excited high energy of this song nestles in a divine place between the old world and the new one.
