Ha! I was wondering how I would be able to work some of my recent
purchases onto idm, and this seems to be my opening.
This week I got:
Source Lab 2: French house, dub and jungle. Muzik magazine gave it 4th
place for compilation of the year, and I think it is mega-groovy, and not
cheesy at all.
Global Communications: The Way/The Deep. The mags are all calling these
tracks garage, but don't let that fool you, quality groovy house.
New Phunk Theory: Phunk Theory Theme/Dancer (Paper Recordings) My
favourite purchase of the week, (even over Boards of Canada), sexy,
funky, groovy house. The Phunk Theory Theme has a killer guitar improv
over some chunky chi-house beats, and an electric bass line to die for.
Cine City: Are you sure Joe?/Plants, Animal, H2O (Paper Recordings) A
10" which is one side breaks, other side moderately tough house. The
track names come from some great 1950's trashy sci-fi flicks samples
about aliens and UFO's. Cool record, but if you have the choice go for
New Phunk Theory.
