I don't know what to think of the recent electro revival... The 'Jedi Knights' record is slammin but alot of newly hyped stuff is nothing to go running out to the store for. I bought the 'Tuscan Raiders' record on hype,making the DJs/record buyers biggest mistake(listen before you buy it!). I was expecting much more. if someone told me that this was a Richard James record I wouldn't question the fact. If this is 90's electro then these new records are making me appreciate Daniel Bell and 'Like a Tim' even more... a few other records that I checked out today also were nothing out of the ordinary. I do hope that more people start putting out records of like nature. A little more 'electric funk' on the dancefloor is definatly needed. I don't know why some of these new records are classified as 'electro'. new buzz word? I can see the comps now... peace dietrich cakejax@phantom.com

For a taste of some nice electro, check out Gak from late 1994 on Warp..it's a rerelease from some other time.. (which again may be part of the hype shit.) As for the new stuff.. I think Aux88 from Detroit has been consist with their releases, as well as the fact that Transmat, Metroplex, and KMS have also rereleased a lot of the Detroit electro "booty" music. Like Juan's "no UFO's" and again, Orlando Voorn's "Flash", which is a blatant sample from P-Funk.. imagine that...
