On Mar 21, 9:25am, you proclaimed:
} 2-in light of the recent slagging off of djax latest cd comp
} i think i need to add this. . .or should i say, bag this ;)
} DJ Duo had this thing slung over his shoulder. . . .
} ACID JUNKIES Paranoid Experience (djax-up-beats 192)
} Killer two pack of megaphat (ph) acid which comes in a djax bag
} with a fat yellow smiley face on it. . .the corker track on here
} is a *whole side* track titled. . .
} 303 VS. 101 (BATTLE AT HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERGALACTIC HIGHWAY)
I was supremely unimpressed by this - I mean, I can really get into
just-909-and-303 if it's done well, but the composition really sounded
exactly like the sounds my one and only instrument, the 303, makes
when I randomly press buttons on it (only, I sometimes erase patterns
that don't turn out sounding good). I've heard good acid junkies
stuff, but this definitely wasn't part of it.
Oh damn, I just realized I violated my own rule, which was never
post a negative review to IDM since they are a lot less helpful then
positive reviews. Okay, um...
The Orbital Peel Sessions truely are astounding. Get them, even
though the tracks will come out on Diversions in a while. I had
the stereo at Wired cranked with this, and now the editor wants to
do a story on them :)
} 3-Finally. . .There's a bloke from America that I've dubbed
} the Richard James of House. . . Todd Terry. . .not only does
} this kid pound out the releases. . .they are full of excellent
} production and way out groundbreaking ideas. . .
} his style of house is very *old school* (he made the damn school!)
} packed with POP and 808's. . .but deep and house nonetheless
} his shit is really fun, tons of breakdowns and wickedness. .
I wish I could find his "Acid Crash" on CD somewhere, that song is
mindblowing. Too bad only his wailing diva-esque stuff ever got
popular.
