Member Since: Jan 03, 2006 Rank: 21 Rated 83 releases, average: 4.43 Location: Berlin, Germany Profile: I liked rave and trance, acid, techno, electro and house back in 93, 94 and 95. Kompakt killed techno for me, as I perceived it as wanna-be intellectual/arty - the opposite of what techno was about for me. Afterwards I've been into Andreas Dorau, Portishead, HIM, Bohren & der Club of Gore, Primal Scream, I Am Kloot, Zoot Woman, Phoenix, The Notwist, The Arcade Fire, and my all-time fav bands Mercury Rev and Placebo. I've been back to electronic parties from time to time as Berlin has some fine venues for music: The 'deep' was my fav club, awesome location. A raving experience lately was a gig by Duran Duran Duran at a breakcore event in the 'Zentrale Randlage' - a mixture of Gabba, Drum'n'Bass, Hardcore, Rave and... 80ies Pop! My favourite 'electronic' artist is Christian Morgenstern. His Carolea and Hawaii Blue LPs are of extraordinary beauty to me. He could rock it too though, eg "Be Good To Me" on (Visco Space's) "Class of '84" is a burner, or the minimal "Moment of Truth". Well now since I've come across the Discogs website I've started to gather some vinyl just because 303's & 909's just sound so good being scraped from this black gold. My favs from '94/'95 are (alphabetically): [Adam & Eve 17] Gwen'n'Ginger - I Can See The Stars [Adam & Eve 18] The Sorcerer - Dolphinsteak [JJ008] Mike McCoy/T.P.H. - Acid-ramcash/-pinup [Frankfurt Beat] Paragon II - The Poets [Lush 01] The South of Trance - French Revelation [Millenium007-LP] Headman - We Love You (Album Version) [Monostress 01] Distorter - Stummwerk 0.0 [Nova Mute 39] Network - I think I love You [Planet Rhythm 09] Lenk - Narcotics, Psychotics [Platipus 14] Union Jack - Red Herring, No Armageddon [Rising High 45] Sequential - Prophet (OK, from '92) [Rubble 05] Pulse Emission - Get Infected [Save the Vinyl 16] B-Flame - Some Get Saved [Seismic 05] Clanger - Seadog [Tesseract 14] Dual Mount - Casabianca [Volumex 93-06] Sultana - Te Amo (Caliente) [XVX 04] Fluid-Um-Vitae - Horn of Plenty I have made some tracks myself in `96. It's kind of elektro-trance stuff. Sounds quite beginnerish, bit tacky, but hey, I like synths! Had better kept at it to be able to present some better stuff here ;-) Well, if your interested, please check it out... My favourite is 'Hurt' - I liked playing with the filters a lot! Equipment was a K2000 sampler, a 303 clone, a Technox, and a Roland 16 channel mixer with Alesis QV2 & DigiTech FX. Subtle Takeoff Into Monotony Elektrotek Hurt Eternally Mystical (Remix) | |

Paragon II* - The Poets (Remix) - 17-Jan-06 09:21 AM
The voice in this track is William S. Burroughs who's talking about how he wanted to become a writer when he was young, because:
"I always thought that poets were people who were sniffing cocaine in Mayfair and smoking hashish in Tangier."
Opposed to Burroughs, Ivan Turgenev writes in his novel 'First Love' about the poet Maidanov "Like almost all poets he had a cold character", which must be closer to the truth, since Burroughs did not seem to gain satisfaction from his notion.
This little example shows how an artist can gain attention by playing with an audiences yearnings.
Apparat - Multifunktionsebene - 17-Jan-06 12:21 AM
The 'Apparat' (German for 'apparatus') belongs to the Berliner Sascha Ring. It's a mathematic device to produce musical structures. Random modulation algorithms manipulate audiodata in varying intervals. The boundery conditions have been given though, like with Mozart's musical dice game. Thus the chaos that develops still forms an organic world, which might remind you of a jungle, where in the chirring of insects, the chirping, the knocking and dropping, there seems to be an inscrutable logic.
This intellectual, interdisciplinary form of production is embedded in sedate sounds of a cosmos, which is also homey to the early works of Future Sound of London, the electronic output of a Bernd Friedmann (A-Musik) or the urban melancholy of Bohren & Der Club Of Gore.
The breaking of rhythmical structures, and those reflective moods that seem to arise by chance, had once again recommended Shitkatapult as a source of acoustic research at the time of this release. A curious listener will be rewarded!
