Various - Attack The Dancefloor Volume Fourteen
posted a review of Various - Attack The Dancefloor Volume Fourteen. 8 months ago
love the tracks - sold because of extremely thin sonics - sounds like a DMM master cut lourder than the medium should be recorded - I understand this cannot sound like an 1982 Atlantic release, BUT there is just too much difference in sound when you... See full review

why isnt "upper" just a bit longer like.. 3 minutes? with its 1:40-somethingitis what I call a cheeky teaser (:

a slightly longer mix would make an amazing tool - it's still is but you need a 3 deck setup to be able to play it.

the amount of action in the b1 is stunning, if you hear a fairly dull loop - geta a pair proper headphones or may the gods have mercy on your hearing ;)

my copies bought @ Hardwax at around 2016 were (still) signed by Mark Richardson - it's a pre-Prairie Cat signature -> they were cut at Metropolis studio so they are pre-2000 and pretty likely to be the original cuts.

whomever made the original... See full review

what happened here?

side A2 sounds very well, sadly the B3 side sounds flat and lacks dynamics - different handwriting / signature too - definitely a different studio.
real shame as it's the B side that has (much) more potential in my opinion.

it's Simon @ The Exchange so the sound is excellent, as good as a record gets, BUT the plating / pressing of the C/D disc isnt perfect (to say the least)

the amount of crackle and pops on the essential D side is unacceptable for a new release, tried... See full review

I'd say - to their catalogue, this is what M6 is to Maurizio.

this will NOT age at all, this will be played by those "in the know" for (many) years to come, for a good reason.
fantastic record.

tbh I've never got to the end of the A side thanks to the highly annoying hi-pitched whistl-o-synth,
but the B side rates among my fave Planet E / Russ Gabriel releases.

any comparisons to MoWax are...perfectly justified :)

got this one from Tomie nevada back in the day, and it aged as one of Vigorito's best EPs imo.

I think "Scorn" is a late nite dub of "Krautrock"- but it's a wild guess based on sonic similarities / shared elements.

from Liquidism, thru Souldancer, and Presence to Matters Anthem the man has not put a wrong foot.
easily one of the ultimately top producers in the mid-90s circuit.

praised and celebrated, but within a small, closed circuit,which is unfair imho.

the b1 track here has not aged one bit.
lovely thing.
the "esses" are quite difficult for most carts and you may be getting a bit distorted "iSS thiSS love I FFeel" but it doesnt really matter, it's still a great song and a pleasure to listen to.

best remix package that everybody bought ONLY to get a fresh copy of the original (:

which was ruined by extremely low signal to noise ratio.
it's a BS-collectors' item, no use of the discs in real-life situations.

a fave from the good old Tresor HQ boss... since his LL releases, phenomenal sonics too, records hardly get as crispy and vibrant as this one.

a proper techno record written & released in 2008 - that's quite impressive.

an extreme record both in terms of writing and the sonics, phenomenal sound that actually crosses the limits of the medium both in the low and top end of the spectrum.

ICM housing, type II notch so it's probably late Chrome Plus formulation - this tape has to sound fantastic, (all WARP type II releases did)

Troy Geary is imo one of the unsung heroes of proper minimal techno.

Anything with a Vainqueur stamp is always invalueable, but

that's one of a kind type of track, which I didnt really "feel" as a teenager, but it became an old time fave as I got older.

keep the DAT tape / wav files as chances are the demand exceeds the supply

Ive always kept it for Kat Race and Masterplan (here under "Alarms")

I think Adam Beyer, Marco Carola, Gaetek and Q-men were pretty obsessed upon making the ultimate 8-step (2/4) groove - compare this, Locomotive - middle 1, Xphase a1, and drum code 19 b2 -

there must be a weird story to it.

(on both sides, which is rare)
