Herbert "100 Lbs" phonoCD1 I'm suprised no one else has jumped up for this one yet. Super super cool, smooth 4AM house grooves, check the 'Girl From Ipanema' sample. And since this is matthew herbert, the man from Wish Mountain, the house music here is made with common household appliances. This is nothing earth shattering -- he samples sounds like clanking jars together and scraping a spoon across the bottom of a frypan, and uses them as percussion samples. But it does give some freshness to a genre totally dominated by the 909. It's been a long time since I've heard a record that was so musical, dance floor friendly and cunningly constructed. This one deserves to be hyped to the skies. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I read Keyboard, but it's like staring at a book with pictures of simple looking but expensive machines." -- Michael Lazarev NEW CD Comp Electronic Music Project http://soli.inav.net/~kent/emp.html Kent Williams kent@inav.net CADSI 2651 Crosspark Road Coralville IA 52241 (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3489 (fax)
