Almost decent remix EP, the best of the litter is the Autechre remix of
'sanq', really downbeat, laidback vibe, and Aphex's remix of 'trachus',
distorto n all.

Neal Landstrumm-Inhabit The Machines EP
Peacefrog 044
'blam the target'
'sniff and destroy'
'boost controller'
'd's attack'
Neil never ceases to amaze me, and this EP urges one to get BROWN BY
AUGUST, his debut full-length on Peacefrog. With the extensive use of
909 kicks, distortion, and the (presumed use of) the "mars to ???" preset
from my beloved
DX-100, Neil produces Hardcore Destroito like no other from his country.
In a new school sense, of course!
Highlights were 'blam the target' and 'sniff and destroy'. Buy it today!

Missing Channel-Submerged EP
Hardwax 006
'gold'
'search'
'legion of hunger'
'2'
'gold' comes off like '91-'92 detroit techno, Generator/U.R. style, with
its anthemic style motorcity synth. '2' is a crafty, hypnotic little
ditty that shines much brighter than the other tracks. Thank God someone
had the decency to bring this excellent label back to life. Where is the
new material from H-Bomb, Dr. Kevorkian, and Robert Noise??? Get
IT!!!!! Oh, I do have H-Bomb's 'radar'/'tracking device'(HW 002) available
for dubs if anyone is interested...

Wyndell Long-She/Dinner Is Ready
Peacefrog 045
'she'
'razzmatazz'
'asphasia'
'dinner is ready'
'midnight sarada'
Chicago jackin' house from Wyndell Long, mainly more for us "textured"
DJ's who like to play some soulful breaks, and fillers in between more
structured, and involved house sets. I loved 'asphasia', and 'midnight
sarada'. This is a taster for me, as I'm getting ready to do my head in
with Glenn Underground's ATMOSFEAR album on Peacefrog.
Good.

Cybotron-Clear/Industrial Lies
Fantasy Records(Repress)
Just what I had expected. Most of us have heard 'clear', but I've never
come across 'industrial lies', the vocal sung by 3070. I remember this
from somwhere, though. Both excellent quality electro prototechno.
Good Repress, too!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cybotron-Cosmic Cars/Alleys Of Your Mind
Fantasy Records
'cosmic raindance'
'cosmic cars'
'alleys of your mind'
'R-9'
This was the best purchase for me for quite awhile. I love this piece of
vinyl, and I urge you to bug the hell out of your record shops to get
it. 'cosmic cars' with the Juan Atkins vocals is a freaky,
electro-filled track, and will get many people wishing they had a "cosmic
car" to drive back to 1980, and start all over again.
For the big surprise, I remember a friend giving me a 7'' with 'R-9' on
it, and I think this record is what got me into the early industrial
sounds of Ministry, and Frontline Assembly. It's sounds just like them!
I sware!!! I love 'R-9', the best track from Cybotron, with the
exception of 'techno city'. Cheers to you, Rick and Juan!
