didnt get to shop nearly as much as i wanted to in detroit, didnt even hit submerge, or even the s.i.d. tent, so hectic, but i managed to grab really quick from the recordtime tent...
aquanauts - titanic -- a-side is kinda weak, but man-o-war is GREAT!!! definitely a sound descended from drexciya, i love how the song changes towards the end (nice acid line!)...reminds me back to the quality ur high-tech funk circa interstellar fugitives (as does s2's slide). the b2 beat track aint bad either. shake - 5% solution -- hadnt heard this in aaaaages, wow, sounds better than ever!! so fresh and creative and years and years ahead of its time. mindless entertainment is betetr than most current minimal techno, or at least stands alongside the best. and day of reckoning, those dark chords, oh man... los hermanos - on another level 2lp -- havent listened yet, pumped tho...a friend who is pretty picky and hardly buys techno said one of the cuts blew him totally away, that sold me. model 500 - technicolor -- after hearing juan play it live, i had to go buy it, one of those metroplexes i never bought cus its just 3 very similar versions of one track, but yeah must have!! and i bought a couple of my favorite metroplexes for my girl...hehe and as soon as i saw legowelt in detroit he handed me this: living room - room service 2lp -- we were both searching for it awhile ago and now he's found us both copies....beautiful and eclectic album from orlando voorn, i love it to death, have had it on cd for awhile (thanks to Jason B!!) and craving it on vinyl ever since!! i think its got a few different tracks from the cd version havent been able to properly check yet i am really sad i didnt make it to s.i.d. and pick up all those recent orlando's. i also wish he'd played the festival again, his set last year was white hot, bring him back!! orlando live! i'm already pumped for next year, and putting pennies in a jar labelled "bring a pikey to detroit fund". i wanna see kamal and jason b there next year too! and stu! and now they've done the bunker/clone things stage twice, it'd sure be nice to see a delsin/rh one...i want nwaq and m>o>s and the seamus!! and dynarec! yoav b! shed! aarvdark again! kid sublime! gimme gimme too much sugar in my cheerios sorry jt
