>> Kelly Hackett asked about this record.. so here are some of
>> my thoughts that i've posted in the past, and added to since..
I'd also like to recommend this slab of wax on Focus Music.
I've been spinning this one on the t-tables the past few weeks,
and i haven't gotten tired of it yet. Crisp electronica, spaced-
out electro, and a subtle "detroit-techno" theme occupies this
great 12" compilation.
Focus "Sampler" 12inch tracklist:
~ Lackluster "Starcell U.K."
~ Aphelion "Touched"
~ Plus One "Mayday"
~ Mystery "Mystery One"
~ CiM "Commuter Love"
Be on the lookout for the new and upcoming ep by Lackluster on
Focus. You may recognize Esa Ruoho's name from his work on
Monotonik, www.mono211.com/monotonik/, CDR#2 is the limited
to 100 cdr's (sold-out) that kick-started the LL movement. I'm looking
forward to hear Esa's progression in his area of ambient-electronic
expertise..
I don't have a web-url for Focus yet, but i'm sure they're working
on one. You can check out Lackluster's work at the following urls:
CDR#2 Cover-Art:

Lackluster Discog:

At any rate, i think Focus Music have a solid lineup of fine electronic
output, and i can't wait to see what they have to offer for the rest of
2000. Aphelion is a current favorite, and CiM is also supposed to release
a full-length, so i hear.
Pietro.
