"Одинокая луна" is obviously inspired by Todd Terry's remix of "Missing" by Everything By The Girl. Uptempo house. Woman singing about being lonely. There is even a similar harpsichord sounding synth playing a small supporting role in both. But they... See full review

I think this is an overlooked record. Very tight and clean production and all three tracks are quality. A side is more tech-house, perhaps reminiscent of Gez Varley. B1 is a dark banger with some electro touches and B2, my pick as well, is a very good... See full review

Because it's sampled directly from it (which itself sampled from George Clinton). The whole thing is just a few tracks from that time thrown together. The piano is from "Hello San Francisco" by Dance 2 Trance (also a second generation sample)

"Robber" jacks (without sampling) two Robert Armani tracks - the bassline is from "Ambulance" and the riff is from "Circus Bells". A pair of jacks.

The track "Timequake" is a kind of cover version of Planetary Assault System's "Booster" off Planetary Funk Vol. 4. I wish this kind of thing would happen more often.

Sounds terrible to my ears. Too much bass, too loud, the sound distorts. It's playable but it's just not the subtle and lush masterpiece as mixed by Walter Gibbons at Blank Studios.

Is this the most obscure techno label? Nobody has these records except the last few releases. None of the artists have releases on other label. You can find some tracks on Kajaani Issues - Teil 1/2 and Kajaani Issues - Teil 2/2 but they are unlabeled so I have no idea how they... See full review

All about "Proof Of The Long Dark Night" for me. Builds nicely from looped chords over a straight ahead house beat with a snappy snare. A pretty melody comes in toward the end. . The other tracks are too clothed in the glitch aesthetic.

An excellent EP of varied tracks, I liked it more than ten years ago and I like now. A1 is techno with warm chords and cute melodies. A2 is melodic slower paced electro like Bitstream or Gosub. B1 is a solid piece of Rob Hood or Surgeon-like techno.... See full review

"Presence" has a booming kick and some sounds that have a lot of delay on it and a resonator or something similar, it does have that Basic Channel feel. Still, very much the sound of its time. But there's this insistent organ-like sound that makes the... See full review

Funny how time works. I was just listening to this record and wondering if people at the time knew it would be what music 20 years from then would sound like compared to the rave sounds that were also beginning to emerge. The Colins were wrong in the... See full review

"Plastica" is a neat homage to Plastikman's "Spastik", quite groovy.

Nah, it's a banger. Never stops chugging. The lyrics are whatever but who cares?

This is indeed Bobby Orlando at the top of his game and like many of his tracks this is a bit of a rip off too. There's a definite resemblance to Take A Chance.

You are just wrong. This is a really solid EP that has a nice mix of techno and hardcore. Kind of slow for 1992 but America was a little behind the times. I like playing Braindead at 45, it has a nice breakdown with wailing vocals and sounds like that... See full review

"Break M Up" sounds like an AFX or Black Dog track - a bunch of layered breaks, a spacey bassline and in the middle of the track a rather pretty synth appears for a minute or two wandering about. It's a lot more than I expect from a bargain bin techno... See full review

I must be the only one who finds this album tedious and fussy without any of the melodicism of some of his earlier records. Except for the last track it all has the same somber mood. I don't rate albums based on the sheer amount of stuff the artist... See full review

I was young and foolish. I have since realized that Speedy J is indeed a master with a great melodic sense and even his simple club tracks, like the Public Energy stuff or "Something For Your Mind" on this EP, have found a warm place in my heart.

"I Like It" has several moments, usually after a drum roll where it sounds like the record skips. I think it's just a bad tape edit but it's really jarring. Cutting tape is a lot harder than working in a sound editor. Or it could be that music is so... See full review

I prefer the inside tracks on this release. They are lighter than the pummeling outside tracks. On the Regis side the inside track has a one node bassline and on the Female side the drums are pitched to create a kind of melody over a stuttering kick.... See full review

Jay Denham's signature is a very deep, bassy kick drum with a long release. Sometimes it sounds like all the air is sucked out of the room. I don't mean it like a it's a bad thing. He really hit his stride in the late 90's, in my opinion, found his... See full review

Actress has made many brilliant tracks but side B here is the one I keep coming back to and thinking about. I don't know which track off the original compilation he remixed but it doesn't really matter, he just took a few very short samples and... See full review

Bears an uncanny resemblance to some of the dubstep records that began appearing nearly a decade later.
