Memo from Alex Bond of PricewaterhouseCoopers -------------------- Start of message text --------------------
Got loads of new bits this week. Thought I'd share them with the list, some might like to check them.. They're not all 313, but certainly related Francois K - Relix EP - Wave 12" Proving that there is a god after-all, Francois re-edits that classic cut 'Moov' from the FK ep into an 11 minute epic. I've never stopped listening to that EP, so this extended edit is a right bonus. Not sure what's going on on the B-side though. Metro Area - Dance Reaction - Source 12" This was probably on the LP which I never bought. Comes backed with a DFA mix of 'Orange Alert'. Good chance to get a copy of this on a nice loud 12" pressing. What can you say about Metro Area? It sounds like them, it's bang off and I'm still yet to hear them do a bad cut. Quality. The Visitors - The Race - Polish 12" Not sure if this is new or not, found it in a pile of promo's. I've been pretty impressed with the three other 12's on this label, all produced by 2 german dudes called Mille&Hirsch who I know f**k all about. I'd skip the A-side (slightly naff 'numbers' sample), which I don't really like and head for the 2002 rework on the B. Some people say these 2 sound like Metro Area, I don't know about that, but they're certainly creative samplers who produce nice warm cuts for the floor. Well worth checking, as are their other releases. Strand - Message 3 - Delsin 12" I've nearly worn out my copy of Message 2 and I've been absoloutely dying for this to come out and I'm in no way disappointed. 4 TOP quality detroit techno cuts, from broken beats to the 4/4 of Vamp, this is my kind of techno. In fact, it leaves me seething with anger because it makes me think of all the sh*te that people put out and label as techno, and releases like this sometimes get overlooked. Top drawer tackle. and the next person who winges at me "I don't buy techno anymore cos people don't make it like they used to" is going to get this rammed down their throat before I banjo them into next week. Aardvark - Cult Copy 1&2 - Rushhour 12" Fantastic club based stuff from Aardvark who usually has a more broken up style. This is absoloutely pounding on a big system, and I mean POUNDING. None of your normal 4/4 formulated rubbish here though, this is quality club music from Amsterdam, which in my opinion has to be going through probably the richest period in it's recent musical history. Anyone else agree? Apparently this is also featured on the new Carl craig mix CD too. that should tell you something : ) Amp Dog Knights - I'm doing fine - Mahogini 12" Already mentioned on the list, but I just wanted to add that I think that this is one smoooth record. Beautiful house music that my girlfriend keeps pestering me to tape for her. Good to see Moodymann moving on and refining his sound, so many others get stuck in a rut. Definitely not this boy though. Sun Ra - Saga of Resistance (Theo Parrish mixes) - Rushhour 12" OK, so I'm a Theo fan. I think you either like him or you don't. I do. Only given this one listen so far and it's typical deep Theo business. You'd recognise those beats anywhere. Unfortunately I'm ashamed to admit I don't know the original Sun Ra track, so I'm unqualified to comment, just wanted to let people know it was there to check. Buy it! Ultradyne - Unknown works - SCSI 12" Not checked this yet, but like before, wanted to let heads now that it is about. I think if I sat in a skip smoking crack for a week with the rain pouring down on me in Miles Platting, I still couldn't make a record as dark as this. These boys are the masters. I like Ultradyne. So, that's it. Apologies for those who don't buy records. You can just tell I've got loads on at work can't you.... : ) --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
