For more recent stuff I like the original of Alaska Melting which Arturo recommended the remix of: http://www.discogs.com/release/1074140
My favourite all time Monolake track was one side of Fragile / Static from 1999: http://www.discogs.com/release/864079 A couple of points on this one: yes I know music is timeless and a good track is a good track etc. but 10 years ago there were less records that sounded like one (and whether or not this makes me weak in the head I therefore found it more exciting). Yes it was from the Basic Channel stable but the side of the record I'm talking about had a great slowed down, deep, icy feel to it. At the time I wasn't sure how intentional that was; by which I mean I enjoyed it most at 33rpm but I wasn't sure if it was meant to be played that way - at 45 it sounded more like previous stuff plus the other side I was fairly sure was 45. However in looking the Discogs number up I notice it's listed there at 33 one side / 45 the other. And he subsequently did more stuff that sounded the same (with no doubts on the speed) so I guess this was intentional by him and no discovery by me! Either way it was a biggy for me at the time. > From: Frank Glazer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 07 April 2008 21:31 > To: 313 > Subject: (313) monolake > > while i admire the dude's monodeck engineering skillz, i've found that > what i've listened to by him has been painfully forgettable. > > yet, people consistently recommend him, so i'm curious... is there any > monolake release that holds up to the relatively high standards we > have on this list?
