lean 808 606 funky electro programming. sometimes smokey clear vinyl,
always crazily mastered grooves. hidden locks. not for the deep trance
lovers, in fact, bass jocks (as in the *real* bass jocks out of detroit)
*fiend* over this release, probably in repress. 100% rolling.

sortof an extension of No 1, this time 10 locks total which you assemble
into a track of your own (with two copies of course) a little more
attention to "song" (ha) structure, but again, minimal electro techno.
mike paradinas sampled some of the Stark EP into his Hydrozone. smokey
red and black vinyl if you're lucky.

certainly showing growth of the Ectomorph sound here, even more attention
to song structure & themes then 1&2. Some ingenius locks (which play in
both directions) and weird haunting excursions "in the dark, night".
boner, erm, bonus label art ;) and wicked lovely blue vinyl if you're
lucky. again, detroit techno electro.

various artist effort in which the creators were instructed to "take funk
to the future" this is done with marvelous effect by dutch artist I-F who
pulls together a quasi-new wave visage throwback (with meaty electro
programming) called "Space Invaders are Smoking Grass" [warning, everyone
and their mother wants to license this track] also on this v/a comp, mike
paradinas with an set of beautiful melodies layed over an autechry beat
not beat [tm]. dj godfather (local 313 bass jock) gives up a traxxy
electro number with some nice gentle/subtle overtones and quirky
(qualified) 313 campy campers Le Car drive home one of their best, again,
minimal detroit electro techno. [green vinyl if you're lucky, so so def
silk screened cover art]
too bad the Beasties dropped the midwest ball when covering BASS et al in
the most recent grand royal.

ps it no.5 has been quazi-viewd here on idm once before AND I've heard
the remainder of the "FROM BEYOND" and it's continuously outstanding.
