your comments about the records below getting old
pretty fast to your ears, how many of the records
below have you actually heard?
Owch. Diss.
Most of these just
came out and many of them are simply amazing -
especially Phonem's the mechanic verses 2xlp. I
just can see how you can dismiss many of the
records below so quickly.
I'm not dismissing them entirely, I'm just saying they
run out of steam fairly quickly or I didn't like them in
the first place. F.E. I got the Sendertechnik and Phonem
12"s some time ago, and while on the first listen or two
they sounded quite good, after more than that they just
sounded like fairly run of the mill electronic twiddling,
and they certainly aren't as good as Thug, SND, Dettinger,
Funckarma, Japanese Telecom, I-F, Drexciya, not to mention
old stuff like B12, Black Dog, Stasis, Basic Channel, Carl
Craig, Rhythim Is Rhythim, etc. So they don't get as much
play and they don't hold my interest as long.
I've heard everything on your list except:
. Burnt Friedman & the Nu Dub Players: do not legalize it! 12" (~Scape) *
. Jake Mandell: the placekick cdep (Carpark)
. Kid606 & Friends vol 1 comp cd (Tigerbeat6)
. Solovyev: poprad LP (Oni-tor) *
. Chessie: meet cd (Drop Beat)
. Lithops: blasmusik 7" (Robot) *
. Scanner: mort aux vaches cd (Staalplaat) *
And I have no interest in hearing anything on ~Scape as
I don't care for Kit Clayton or Pole, I didn't care for the
previous Jake Mandell I heard, I've hated everything Kid 606
I've heard thus far, and I don't generally like buying 7"s for
$8. I can't afford to buy _everything_ that comes out, and
since I don't live near a store that gets tons of this stuff
I don't have the opportunity to hear it for free.
