ItNo.5 is in white label at the moment. It is as strong if not stronger
then ItNo.4. (Quick up to snuff for those of you who don't know. The
label is Interdimensional Transmissions. The ep series is called FROM
BEYOND and features varied artists. The plan is to feature 4 diff artists
across 4 diff 12"'s with the entire compilation put onto CD sometime this
fall.)
Coming up on 5 is a storming electronic funk (in the highest sense of the
word) cut from sluts strings and 909 called "Starchild". It's a tearing
amalgamation of upfront breaks and down low electro. Big BIG breakdown a
go go and I don't mean with a snare roll set up. Also on No.5 is a superb
4/4 electro (yes it can be done) dub cut "I am sitting in version" from
Flexitone with more bass then drum and bass for papa rolled up into one
and hints of the producers recent affliction with Lee Scratch Perryism.
Rounding out the release is Soul Oddities finest work (under the nom de
bomb, Phonecia). Their contribution is a pong like (yes as in the old
school video game) bouncing bit of electro repetitism which does not
dissapoint in the 'move your body' department. And last, 4E, (Khan's
older brother?) drops a bit of stock funky electronica which would stand
out a bit more if it weren't for all it's brutishly bombastic brothers on
this, a mere 12".
Oh sh!t, I'd tell you about the lock grooves on the record but you'll have
to buy in and find them yourself.

Obligatory IDM content: the "From Beyond" series is partly pressed into
colored vinyl and placed into silk screened
jackets. ITNo.4 is grassy green and ITNo.5 *may*
be purple, if they can pull it off. ;-)
