Mighty thanks Matt...
I think you may be onto something here, for I have seen your post, and yes,
your taste are very similar to mine...
I have all of John Beltran, but you are correct, he has that soulful flavor
that is very, very hard to beat(especially those Cds of old like 10 days,
etc...). I personally think that soulful implies to the emotional
persuasion of the music......and if you cant tell yet...I am very
emotional........especially when hearing this music at
home.............SOmetimes I wish I could alter the madness(who is it that
mentioned a red/blue pill)!
you have named many of the artist that I have and the Detroit escalator is
pretty good and moody! Carl, standard, but I like the Tune elements thats,
IMO, his best tune......its, I believe, Textbook Techno. But Jamie Read,
never heard of him.....
and I have heard a track from stephan Robbers and it was okay......
A warm thanks to you cats.....I really need to hear more music.....and I
must admit, I was just saying to my cousin that I think I came to the end of
the road......shit, I can always go backwards....from the new to the old ya
know....
P.s. those Germans, I must admit have something to their tracks when they
get at melodies....
Why look at Primitive Painter or, another alias they go by, sensorama--and
some of their tunes.......L. McGannon can feel you in more about them!
Hk!
