Only bought a couple last week due to rapidly dwindling funds, but they're good... Luke Vibert - A Polished Solid (Mo'Wax) --------------------------------------- Yet another Vibert release (does this guy sleep?), not as experimental as some of his work, but nonetheless retaining his very individual touch and quirky brilliance. Three tracks, and if they have to be pigeonholed, I suppose trip-hop would fit best. The title track layers strings and jazz with cool, tight live-sounding drums, and the vibe is maintained accross 'Radart' and 'Frogs Belly'. If you're familiar with his other work, buy on sight - essential mind music. Goldie - Angel (FFRR) --------------------- Taken from the CD of 'Timeless', this should achieve pretty high commercial success after all the music press hype of late. The 12" features the album version of 'Angel', plus the original version of 'Saint Angel' and the 'Pesahy Back From Narm' mix of 'Angel'. It's the kind of track that grows on you with repeated listening, and it's sort of unsettling, as with a lot of Goldie's work. There's a very dark and menacing feel below the surface, as the melodic passages are intespersed with nastier phrases. Difficult to describe, but a very intense listening experience. On the lookout for: new Dave Angel, Attica Blues, T Power, Gescom, Model 500... See ya Tom Churchill E-mail: tom@chrchfam.demon.co.uk Electronic DJ and musician

i may be incorrect, but isn't this just a re-release? (not sure if the Peshay mix was included though) mb

Dave Angel - Handle with Care (Blunted) --------------------------------------- I'm only reviewing the first of the two 12"s here (it's all I could afford today). I'm a *big* fan of Dave Angel, and this doesn't disappoint. 'Bump' is the standout - wicked electronic jazzy groove over a solid, well-programmed 909 base, with trademark squiggles of melody injecting it with a human feel. 'Be-Bop' is less straightforward, cut-up techno, and the remix of 'Airborne' is a solid, dependable groove. Overall, it's excellent. Wagon Christ - Redone (Rising High) ----------------------------------- Been around for a few weeks now, but I'm glad I snapped it up. Vibert's own take on 'Reedin' is nice - subtle junglist programming under a jazzy, live-sounding jam, only slightly marred by annoying speeded-up speech samples. The Boymerang mix is more orthodox ambient drum 'n' bass, pleasant enough, but not particularly outstanding. Aphex Twin mix. Wow! Loosely based around the ideas of jungle, he creates a percussive masterpiece - hyper-complex filtered, pitchbent, flanged, phased, distorted, metallic, intricate pieces of what might once have been a breakbeat are shaped into a very interesting piece of futuristic drum'n'bass. I can't wait for his 'Hangable Auto Bulb' EP... see ya _________________________________________________ tom churchill e-mail: tom@chrchfam.demon.co.uk electronic musician/dj _________________________________________________
