> SMH Review 12/5/2000 of Thug's Isolated Rhythm Chock CD
> [snip]
I think it's time for another record, John. You've been
promoting this one for over a year now..... :) I had this
one locked in my car CD player all last summer....
Yeah that's true!! Guess what??... There are 3 releases all planned to come
out in the next 2 or so months on AI or Selectronic (AI's cdr label).
Though it's looking like they'll come out on AI proper.
Also one other point i'd like to make.. despite sending over 80 promos this
is the first time i've seen the CD reviewed in print!! It only took a year
for it to get one print review! :( Oh yeah I know about the Rob Geary
mention in Grooves, but that was far from a review.
Anyhow if you liked IRC you'll absolutely love the new stuff... here's some
info on the next 2 releases...
Artist: Tim Koch (Thug)
Title: Please Don't Tell Me That's Your Volvo
Label: Aural Industries
Cat. No. ai002
In essence a compilation of sonic off-cuts that didn't seem to fit anywhere
else nicely. Aural Industries has taken the time to re-arrange them into a
shape and form that we hope you will find most agreeable. Video game
inspired songs about giving up mathematics, people with bad haircuts who
don't answer their phones, bad sudafed trips, and American skateboarding
shoes that fail to withstand the sheer force of Tim's ollies.
Described by Groove Magazines' Pietro Da Sacco as containing "17 tracks of
video-game styled electronica tied to bright melodies, gritty ambience, and
snappy bleeps all wrapped up in a tight 65 minutes. Fans of Lackluster,
Plod, Arovane and even Plaid will enjoy this release. But keep in mind that
these sounds would best fit a Nintendo or Playstation soundtrack".

Artist: DJ Fish Finger
Title: Gone Fishin'
Label: Aural Industries
Cat. No. cdai003
DJ Fish Finger spent the better part of the mid to late 80's pimping on the
old C64 / Amiga Scene BBS' and watching the Playboy channel when it was
cool too. Years of research were undertaken to enable the engineers at the
DJ FF research facility to construct a studio that was able to be filled
with water, fish and various other sea creatures, to allow DJ Fish Finger
to record in his natural habitat.
His upcoming release titled "Gone Fishin'" is best described as electro,
crazed beats, porno soundtrack music and C64/Amiga computer game sounds all
amalgamated into a very phunkee aural soundtrack for the game of life...
computers, sex and good music; what else do you need!? Described by a local
Sydney DJ as an amazing cross between the sounds of Mr Scruff meets Cylob
meets Ed DMX. So kick back, throw a dolphin meatball on the barbie, and let
the sounds of DJ Fish Finger flow.
