Yes, this recently got repressed by Astralwerks, if your into the Detroit sound then this is a great comp. The Claude Younge track 'Impolite to Refuse' which begins the album is certainly a must have, on par with his Project 625 material on Dow (even better IMHO). I used to start all my Detroity sets with this track. Tonnes of percussion, squelchy bass and wonderful (WONDERFUL) melodies.
Sean Deason's 'Vortex' does much the same for me, classic Detroit sounds. Another guaranteed player. Shake's ' Sandblaster has a beautiful arppegiated bass wobble, and a dirty snare/ kick combo, combined with another killer piano line and some chanting. The middle part of the LP heads for electro country bagning it out with a classic Ectomorph tune, and the absolutely f***in essential Will Web "Like on Tek (Bumpin down Jefferson Mix). When I was in the D for first DEMF we went bumpin down Jefferson Ave, with that tune cranked, it all became clear. If you get this comp for any one tune it should be this one. If Andy C's 'Valley of Shadows (31 seconds)' is the essential junglist tune, then Will Web's 'life on tek' is comparable for the electro elite. The last part of the LP is to me, what suffers. The T-1000, Terrence Dixon and Mode Selector (Fanon Flowers) tracks, showcase the bleepy, and hard part of Detroit. The tracks are a good view into what was happening in that particular vein of techno in Detroit at that time, but in comparison to the musicality of the rest of the LP, they just don't stand out. An essential LP IMHO, I sold mine to pay rent a few years back, and now I have it again! Now anyone want to part with their Deepest Shades of Techno Compilations on vinyl? Better yet anyone know of any stores that might still have these in stock? Not bloody likely but at least I'm trying :) Cheers todd ----- Original Message ----- From: ":: evilgenetix ::" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 8:14 AM Subject: [313] Astralwerks - Detroit Beyond the 3rd Wave LP > Does anyone know if the LP - Detroit: Beyond The Third Wave (Claude Young, K > Hand, DJ T1000, Terence Dixon, etc.) on Astralwerks (ASWLP 6170) which was > originally released in 1996, recently got repressed (or did it)??? cos there > are copies of these popping up in a local record store also it is available > on Juno... they are charging 14 pounds or AUD$60 for this LP, I don't really > know how hard is it to get this LP and is it really worth the money to get > it? > > cheers, > EVGNT > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
