for a very different side of speedy j, check out 1998's self-titled debut
from slag boom van loon (NOT the recent remix album "so far," although
that's worth a listen, too). it's a collab b/t jochem paap and the
aforementioned mike paradinas but they seem to cancel out each other's
noisier tendencies. serense, sometimes playful and always quirky idm, with
the track titles ("angels at the gates of pandemonium," "butch," broccoli,"
"poppy seed") giving a good indication of the beautiful weirdness on
display.brian dillard -----Original Message----- From: Gwendal Cobert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 4:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [313] A shocking hobby... Well, Speedy J has had quite a varied output, some of which I would rank as drill'n bass (think Mike Paradinas et al), some of which is clearly IDM (mostly what he released on Warp), some is Detroit techno - and good Detroit techno too, I'm thinking about his +8 records... Haven't been listening to this specific one for a while now, but I've got fond memories of it ; and it certainly is a good example of good IDM. There are plenty of people putting out excellent IDM these days - off the top of my head : check out the Leaf comps - and there have been plenty releasing great IDM in the last ten years... just check out the Warp catalogue Gwendal > Have been listening to Speedy J's album "a shocking hobby" > for a few days > now.
