I'm a relatively newcomer to this new style. My frist encounter with it was when I heard Tom Churchill playing some of it, and a wide variety of other stuff when I was in London in November. It really hit the spot. These days I do my best to make it to nortroute.net every week if my laptop cooperates b/c my record buying budget is very slim right now. But I do have some similar stuff floating around. But it occurs to me that the movement is not really that new. There's been some similar stuff around for a while, but it never really coalesced like it is now. Here are some of my older favorties: Op Art III comp (lots of Kirk DeG... Paul Teabrooke and Sensurreal, etc). Stasis Steve Patton on Op Art (can't recall the name of the EP right now). Gerd/Sensurreal have really been going at this consistently for quite a while The Jedi Knights have "Earth Drums from Outer Bongolia" and a few other less inspired mid-tempo broken beat efforts IMO. I think Otto actually pieced a lot of this together for me a few months back when I asked what Sensurreal was up to these days, so maybe he can fill in some more gaps in our understanding. ...and of course, there's a bunch of Detroit stuff, particularly 69's Desire and Bug in the Bassbin that come to mind. Loads of people from all walks of DJing have listed Desire as an all-time top-10 since I can remember. The only newer stuff I have is by Bushwacka on the "Unreleased" 12" on THE END. That's some pretty beautiful music to my ears. To tie in another thread, the Stacey Pullen track on there is none too shaby either. I have a feeling this thread won't kick back in until the A.M. when those damn Brits wake up. :) Tristan ---------- http://ampcast.com/phonopsia <- My music http://phonopsia.tripod.com <- Mixes, pics, thought, travelogue & info [EMAIL PROTECTED] <- email <FrogboyMCI> <- AOL Instant Messenger _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
