Sorry, my message was not intended to diss.
i was merely suprised at your statement and in
my haste to reply my wording was a bit misleading.

I will agree that the Morr Music Phonem 12"
is not as great as his Jetlag 2x12" will be my
#1 release of '99 and I still think the Morr
Music 12" is quite good. The Sendertechnik
LP is the first release I've been able to find
from ADSR so to me it's great. If the other
ADSR releases are better then i must really
be missing out.
Regarding staying power, there's not much
out these days that DOES hold up to the
old stuff. : )

Well the new Burnt Friedmann on scape doesnt
really sound like pole or kit clayton. Instead it has
a nice new-school dub-raggae flavor very much in
the flavor of the old Incoming! label output. So
you might want to give that one a try. The mandell
ep is somewhat similar to his previous works so if
you didnt like those you're right to avoid this one.
The Kid 606 cd is a remix package and hardly sound
like K606 at all. Instead it sounds like the remixers
involved which include Solvent, Hrvatski, Lexaunculpt,
Matmos, Electric Company, Marumari, to name just
a few. And the Lithops 7" is sublime but i am a sucker
for anything the Lithops/MoM crew produce. I believe
it's acutally a limited repress of the 7" that came out
several years ago so if you do want it dont hesitate.
The Solovyev LP is an excellent mix of cologne-profan-
kompakt styled techno & electronica. It's right up there
with the Nothingface cd & the Braunmusik/Honda
Beats LPs on Tropen Verlang. The new Chessie cd
features deep droning guitar scapes over subtle, often
experimental electronica falling somewhere inbetween
third eye foundation, my bloody valentine, and remote
viewer. Finally, Scanner's Mort Aux Vaches cd is a
great ep of spacious ambient electronica peppered
with Scanner's signature hijacked conversations and
even some female poetry over the top. It's definitely
one of my favorite scanner releases.
Ok there are a few descriptions. Maybe they'll help
you make a decision on the releases you havent
heard yet.
