Yeah, about a year ago. It was very poorly attended due to pathetic advertising, and the Mo'Wax posse arrived very late, but the music was spot-on. It was DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, James Lavelle and Simon Richmond, some wicked mixing and scratching...

Welcome back... Oh, and something interesting from Mixmag Update - LFO and Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier are collaborating on a mix of Uber Schall from the 'Advance' LP - she'll be adding vocals to the track. Apparently it's the first of a number of collaborations LFO have planned for 96... see ya _________________________________________________ tom churchill e-mail: tom@chrchfam.demon.co.uk electronic musician/reviewer/dj _________________________________________________

Volume 1 was 'Claire' by IO (aka Patrick Pulsinger), a lovely jazzy downtempo tune. It had remixes by Stasis and Mark Broom, I think. Volume 2 was David Caron's 'Fantasy on a Fantasy', which I haven't got, and Volume 3 (with box) is I think a Mark Broom production. The hip-hop ones are good too - Prunes, Olde Scottish and the third one is Solo and Aura's 'Take Heed', a jazzy drum'n'basser. Overall the series is pretty good IMO... Some recommendations (proper reviews to follow): Morgan Geist - Quadrilocular (Metamorphic): wicked Detroit-ish techno Chaser - Sides Of Iron (Soma): Excellent, very unique, buy on sight Jacob's Optical Stairway - Solar Feelings (R&S): pretty good spacey d&b Chameleon - Links (Good Looking): Pritchard & Middleton, quality guaranteed Picked up the following LPs today: Black Dog - Parallel (GPR): At last! Wonderful stuff, classic tracks... Gregory Fleckner Quintet - Monkey Boots (Clear) The Advent - Elements Of Life (Internal) Haven't had a lot of time to listen to these last two yet, but I've skimmed through them. GFQ seems a bit disappointing on initial listening, but I'll have to give it time. The Advent seems pretty cool, gorgeous pressing (from National sound, where all the Detroit stuff is pressed) on quadruple vinyl. Strong electro influence, very percussive and intricate... Hope everyone had a top Christmas! see ya _________________________________________________ tom churchill e-mail: tom@chrchfam.demon.co.uk electronic musician/reviewer/dj _________________________________________________
