Much anticipated and severely delayed Hits Part 2 delivers and well worth the wait to boot. Mr. 76ix comes back from an amazing opening and proves that he is the true Analord with his sophomore LP. He serves up yet another amazing excursion into the... See full review

This album always made me extremely depressed when I listened to it, considering it’s Led Zeppelin’s last studio recording before John Bohnam’s untimely demise, rest in peace. But it does contain some of Zeppelin’s fines moments ever recorded. After... See full review

A truly excellent album in the classic Warp records style. Harmonic 33 is what Warp used to be. Music For Film, Television And Radio Volume 1 is one of the finest albums to come out on Warp since Prefuse 73’s One Word Extinguisher. There’s a world... See full review

After giving this several spins it still hasn’t struck a cord with me like Metamorphic Reproduction Miracle did that first listen. A lot more minimal that his last two efforts with less beat structure than most Christ. fans are probably used to. ... See full review

Decent mix CD-R all around but nothing exceptional. An unusual 60 minute concoction of American Hip-Hop and English electronics which Mortal + Chemist have made their name. It’s a lot more exciting than their last self-titled effort on 33 but still... See full review

In my opinion not as good as Dr. Octagon (purely for nostalgias sake) but one of the best Hip Hop albums that I’ve heard lyrics wise since Company Flow’s Funcrusher Plus. Even though Kid Koala’s scratch routine and oddball samplings are some of his... See full review

Strangely appealing but spotty production at best. Tatamax, another one of SKAM’s unknowns appears on the scene with a cassette only release that contains some of the most interesting sounds experimentations/mutilations I’ve yet to hear. His style... See full review

Gnayse is some of the most masterful Ambient music that has been released in a long time. Bola’s organic melody structure mixed with classic piano riffs and crunchy beats makes this release so much different than his previous albums. Cut from the same... See full review

After reanalyzing Mr. 76ix I began to appreciate him for what he is and not for what everyone else thinks he is. Imagine listening to Aphex Twin’s earlier catalogue with the BPM turn to the maximum, and you get Hits Of 76ix. But amazingly the melody... See full review

Bola’s sophomore album for SKAM records, Fyuti, isn’t as classic as Soup but it has its stronger points and its weaknesses. The introduction is just as wonderful and similar as Soup’s “Glink” with its striking ambience and smooth bassline. Shoob, e... See full review

When looking at the contributors (or conspirators as SKAM calls them) you can only imagine what this record is going to sound like. Mixing Darrel Fitton’s (Bola) extremely melodic sound with Rob Brown and Sean Booth’s abstractness its sheer beauty (I... See full review

When I think of SKAM this is what I think of. Pushing the envelope, making you wonder how they found this musical genius that goes by the name of Quinoline Yellow. Cyriack Parasol is one of the most beautiful works of musical art I’ve heard in a... See full review

Wasn’t too impressed with SKAM’s introduction of Shadow Huntaz Corrupt Data. More deserving of a 2.5 but seeing that there’s no option for that I opted with a 3 even though the quality of this is below the label’s standards. Once again hype worked... See full review

SKAM’s alleged new Secret Weapon Mr. 76ix, is he all he’s cracked up to be? Well, no. From all the accounts at last years ATP, Mr. 76ix rocked the house and awed audiences. So what happened to Hits Of 76ix? It sounds like it was pulled from some... See full review

For once an extremely limited CD-R has some good music on it. On this split release Quinoline Yellow represents SKAM and Duplo Remote represents FatCat Records. First off FatCat. I hadn’t heard of Duplo Remote before this release, and with good... See full review

Some of the most interesting work By Pyke since the Free EP, but still doesn't hit the spot. It’s something about his production that doesn’t appeal to my musical tastes at all. After his first works on SKAM he's taken a more minimalists approach on... See full review

Wevie Stonder is at it again, mixing seemingly more unintelligent vocal samples of British humor (?) with Big Band sounds. Stoat is just below that thin line of total crap and the ordinary sounds of today’s experimenters. The only decent track is... See full review

Don't really know where Simon Pyke was going with this 7" but it's flat, one dimensional and just plain sucks. This is totally out of line with the full length he had released for SKAM just prior to this. You Should Get Out More has some redeeming... See full review

If you’re looking for some more exclusive or unreleased Gescom material DO NOT buy this CD, this is a far cry from his contributions to the EPs on SKAM. It seems like very dated material, like something you would have heard on Warp Records ten years... See full review

Damn fine release by the Push Button Objects, and probably his best recording ever. This EP heavily influenced by Hip-Hop, ranges from something straight out of the Gescom/Autechre archives to Prefuse 73 style Glitch-Hop choppiness. Definitely... See full review

I’ve been listening to Amber for the past few weeks, listening to every detail, every eccentricity that makes up this beautiful masterpiece of electronic art. At first I wasn’t too fond of the extremely detailed ambient textures I found. Tri... See full review

Don't know where people get comments like "The best electronic album ever made" for this album, it’s far from it. The synth-lines are elementary at best and the beats are overly erratic. If I wanted a Squarepusher album guess what I’d go out and... See full review

I consider this to be one of the best 7"s on SKAM. Extrememly fast place glitchy hip hop style beats with electronic noices. A great combination and one of Team Doyobi's best releases so far. Highly recommended even if you aren't into the SKAM record label. See full review

By far and away this is Autechre's best disc. From the first second of Second Bad Vilbel to the last second of Second Peng it hits and it hits hard. This is a very intense listening experience and should be the first on your list if you're a first... See full review
