I'd say the comparison between Sabres of Paradise and BC/CR comes from the dub roots of both efforts. Look for Two Lone Swordsmen stuff (Weatherall and Tenniswood) if you're into the Sabres (although it's substantially different stuff). Make you sure you check out the rest of the Vladislav Delay output for more on the ambient dubbed tip (sometimes he gets a bit noisy, mostly in his earlier work), his Luomo guise on Force Trax is sublime house unlike anything you've heard before. I am also very interested to hear his techno guise , Uusitallo (sp?), also on Force Trax. Anima, his most recent, is utterly beautiful. If you like your beats housey, and your dubbing minimal, check Perlon. If you like things to get a little more experimental check out Kompakte and the affiliated labels. Isolee on Playhouse also gets a bit quirkier. Also makes sure to explore all the rest of the Basic Channel affiliates like Rhythm & Sound, Main Street Records, DIN and a few others (it's early). If you're looking for Kit Clayton with a dance beat, Moles & Avacadoes on Background is my favorite of his releases. ...and last but not least, make sure to check out our own Christian Bloch and Todd Gys - these guys never seem to come up in these discussion, but they definitely fit squarely in this category. Some of their tracks are up at http://mp3.com/stations/313 and you can find Christian's work on Tresor, Funque Droppings and other labels. For some reason I always had a skewed conception that Christian made harder music, but almost all of it is minimal dubbing with fantastic production. If you wind up at his mp3 page, you'll probably spend all day there as I did. Todd gets a little more towards the glitchier end of things at times, but his production is also excellent, and dubbed throughout. While you're there, make sure to check out the mysterious Statik's "Spiritualized Frequencies". You should also check out Todd's newer work at http://ampcast.com/Gys Tristan ---------- http://ampcast.com/phonopsia <- Music http://phonopsia.tripod.com <- Mixes, pics, thought, travelogue & info [EMAIL PROTECTED] <- email <FrogboyMCI> <- AOL Instant Messenger _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
