Er, Thirded. 'Third From The Sun' EP on Peacefrog 1995, plus the collection on "Web of Life" also Peacefrog is still some of the most spellbindingly melodic techno I've heard. I've always thought that his drum programming is amazing.
As I said to you recently Tristan, I feel it's plausible at a push to hear Curtin's beat programming as proto-broken beats. You all know I love to speculate, but I can't feel that it's too much of a push to see a link in some quarters/senses. "Third From The Sun" is in my top 3 all-time techno tracks in the world ever! Peacefrog being Peacefrog, you're blessed with a lot of back catalogue still being available. However, it's been years since I saw that "Web of Life" collection anywhere. k >-----Original Message----- >From: Phonopsia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 2:27 AM >To: Matt MacQueen; kj at technotourist dot org; 313 >Subject: (313) Dan Curtin Sun EP - was Re: (313) the funky 808 drummer > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Matt MacQueen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "kj at technotourist dot org" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "313" ><[email protected]> >Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 10:17 PM >Subject: Re: (313) the funky 808 drummer > > >> tons of old Dan Curtin stuff could qualify in my book too.. any of >> tracks from 3rd from the Sun EP on 33rpm/Sinwave (forgot the track >> titles, but dang some of those are mad 808 "workouts") > > >Absolutely!
