Good topic..
My bro mentioned to me back in 1990 or so to look
into this band called "Meat Beat Manifesto".. soon after
grabbing 'Radio Babylon/Helter Skelter' i was hooked.
Next in the line-up were releases by Baby Ford, Acid
Horse, PTP, PWEI, 808 State, Fusion (aka Plastikman),
Cabaret Voltaire, and the string keeps tangling from
thereon. During this whole time, we'd both head thru
the border into Detroit to a record store called 'Record
Time' to sift through all the (now classic) 12"s by labels
and artists such as Probe, +8, Model 500, No UFO's, Messiah,
FSOL, WaxTrax, Soiree, Orb, LOGM, Alkahest, more MBM,
UR, Front 242, Altern8, AI Vol.1 (early Warp inc/ Ae),
(Detroit radio inc/ Chuck Horn Show), Brave New Waves
(Montreal), Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, Depeche
Mode, NiN, Post Contemporary, Fred Giannelli, DHS..
and several others.. --those were the days..
With all that out of the way, it's always interesting to
see the path that these artists and labels have carved
for today.. come to think of it, it's refreshing to go back
to some of these releases to re-listen and to appreciate
the sheer magnitude and influence they've had on our
ears over the years..
Pietro.
