I picked up Matthew Dears anger mgt this weekend, he definitely experimented with this it was a good buy to add to the collection. I listened to it in the middle of spinning other tracks, so I will take time this week to sit down and really evaluate the track.
That Exhibitionist sampler 12 inch is definitely a buy.. I playing around mixing that with a acapella track from the Defecto label.

Im really on a budget right now, but this record was head and shoulders above everything else. It is larry heards musical side. One track beats really slow, around 110 bpm. Its lovely though, very deep house. I like his style because its simple musical talent sans any gimicks, very jammy feel to it without feeling too raw. Thats important to me, i am a big fan of theo parrish, bu it is nice to have a very polished sounding house jam that can match Theos bpms without coping theo's raw jacking style. The other track on the first side is considerably faster, probably around 125 bpm or something. And the flip is somewhere between them, I cant remember what it sounds like right now, but i love all three tracks. oh and one more thing. I dont know about the rest of the vinyl buyers and spinners in the US, but Im sick of seeing records commonly go for $11.50 and $12. Luciano's single release on Peacefrog is being sold locally for $14 Thank you Mr. Heard, for releasing quality house music in the USA for the price of $7. i tip my hat to you, and please continue! other stuff: Ron Trent: ital foods space is the place: hmm. I liked it but there are a few reasons i didnt pick it up. There is a vocal in there that says something like "space..." I didnt like it because it seemed to have too many effects on it. the whole production seemed kind of "over the top" with everything but the kitchen sink thrown into it. its kind of nice, but its going for 12 dollars, and the record is two nearly identical versions of the same track, pass. Dimitri from Paris: In the house "limited sampler": I listened most closely to the Lil Louis mix on the record. I think it was a rmx of the O'jays. It sounded nice, and I liked how the brass section blended in nicely with the vocals. I was tempted to pick it up, but i don't think it was his best work. however, i want to give it another listen. This time with a fully operational listening system and without annoying "billy jean" bass line cover being pumped through the stores sound system. yuck! new Spectral Sound label releases: First up is the matthew dear anger management album: good and innovative, but I like all his other releases on spectral sound a little bit better (especially his album and ep#1) He does have a knack for experimentation, especially in one of his tracks with what seems to be a gentle distortion building into a loud chaotic crashing WRRR!! Then a return to the abstract beats. Check it out for sure, i liked it, but i cant spend too many beans right now, and I can probably find it later on if i want to. The other Spectral Sound is hieroglyphic being-machines for lovers : nothing special as far as i reckon, chuging beats kind of like getting caught in a meat grinder. i prefer a little more attention to music than hard noise when buying techno. not to hate or anything, but there isn't much i find that attracts me to this record. these reviews are my opinions only, i always encourage everyone to listen for themselves. later 313ers all the world over (from ocean to ocean -juan atkins) -jason The contents of this e-mail are intended for the named addressee only.
