greetings
some reviews of up and coming biggies - deleted if these
things piss you off:) - street date for all 18/11
Paul Teerbroke - Nova 12" (Op - Art 4)
Packaged in the classic style of 70's jazz releases , Kirk De
Georgio's label unleashes another slice of funky electronica
and with the mighty Stasis at the helm , this is of unsurpassed
quality.
"Nova" is the sound of machines chattering amongst themselves,
phunked up Carl Craig style rough breaks with morphing melody
and dreamy strings.
"M42" goes onna galactic funk trip with driving hip hop beats and
soulful atmospherics.
"Blue Light" comes straight from the AFX school of distorted twisted
madness , atonal shrieks and cut up turntable manipulation sounds
like Grandmaster Flash gone bezerk.
Jimi Tenor - Cant Stay with You Baby 7" (Warp)
Limited release from Finish superstar , the first thing that hits me while
listening to "Can't Stay" is Hot Chocolate , Yes Errol Browns mob from
the 70's , Jimi's hi pitched croon combined with deadpan backing vocals
over a kitch lounge lizard/disco soundtrack conjour up visions of dodgy
top of the pops sets and pencil thin microphones , a soulful hammond
organ solo whirls over the top restoring some normality , whilst
the flip "Caravan" sounds like somebody bashing a toy piano over
Drexciya speeded up to +8 , my vote for xmas number one..
Red Snapper - Loopascoopa 12" (Warp)
Part of a double disc featuring mixes by Tortoise,Mr Scruff and Coldcut ,
we only have the Coldcut mix - so cant comment on t others!!
Youa ll know the original from the album , Black & Moore turn up the heat
with
a sonic journey through Dub, Electro & Latin fusion powered by some old
skool moog trickery and driving beats that sound like the funky drummer
played on kettle drums.
Tortoise - Taut & Tame (Luke Vibert remix) / Wait (Bundy K Brown remix 12"
(Thrill Jockey) - Out Now..
Part 4 in the series , Luke builds up the track from reflective opening
keys
at first adding straight drum n bass breaks before moulding and shaping
the beats into a more chaotic structure , strange and discordant samples
drift
in and out of the mix as the track builds up and breaks down several times,
Bundy K Brown's - part of the Directions in Music trio (check out the album
on
thrill jockey) ,take on 'The Wait' is like jazz in slo-mo ,with gentle
ticking beats,
breezy chimes and a whispering barely audiable voice.Excellent
