you crazy. those are both extremely good albums that deserve more than to just be lumped off as "electro"..they are soundtracks..real albums...urban tribe especially brings a lot of really unpredictable and amazing sounds, complex arrangements...i'm not always in the mood for anything, but those are essentials if you ask me...
ill check them again. ill go with the slsk steelo to get a better feel for their flavor in entirety, listening to just clips isnt the best way for checking out records! those doods are responsible for much music that i love......
haha yeah lately i'm listening to tons of old strictly stuff and kicking myself for writing the label off and not paying more attention before...
i mean, theres just SO MUCH garbage in there. for the couple ive found recently that im feeling, i must have left another 20 at the shop. and those records were not just bad, they were atrociously boring and derivative. its the biggest problem with SR!
also i picked up that hip to be disillusioned re-release on prescription classic....so deep but so dancefloor...more more...repress the circulation on balance pleeeease! and the abacus! etc etc...
i havent seen that one around, im definitely down for getting that balance and prescription stuff, just not at the crazy second hand prices. theyre just not worth that to me! i do wish theyd do real straight up represses instead of the one sided one tune version, but ill take what i can get...
and i picked up the mdIII re-release on clone classic...can't believe "let i it be house" wasnt included tho...argh. i would like to see more
classic house re-releases
and less disco madness...repress the serious grooves catalog! i just found mp3's of claude young's lowkey stuff from sg...whoaaaa...i love his techno stuff on frictional and 7th city, but his house stuff is amazing too and totally different...so many great inspiring old records i still have never heard...meanwhile the newest trend is squeezed dry and stomped into the ground...as ever..
im also really feeling alot of late 80s NYC house stuff as well, thats some music that is largely overlooked (aside from a bit of nu groove popularity) right now as well. the claude young house joint i have on DOW is pretty nice as well. i do wish those chi labels would start doing straight up represses instead of the licensing reissues. if these reissues can be arranged, why arent these cats lining up to do the whole catalogues of some of those labels? theyd make mad bank and bring back so much music that is awesome and just isnt out there because of the crazy rarity...... tom
