G'day, Can someone tell me about RAC 'Structures' (WAP71)? Saw the double 12" the other day, but the bastards at the rekkid store wouldn't let me listen to it. Had 8 choons on it if I recall correctly, all with different names - are these all remixes or what? Thanks, Geoff

This record(s) is very, uh, midrangy and reverby. There is a neat heavy reliance on effected 727 (latin drum machine) sounds. It has a sort of "typical Warp production" sound to it. Not very muted, as more recent Warp stuff is. What else comes to mind?...pretty good stuff overall, Electro Fish is a great track and all of the tracks are very very mixable with same-era Warp stuff and AI stuff. Seems like a lot of gated 909 bd and odd electronic percussion. Only one kind of heavy plate reverb though that is a little strong. Falls just short of "Doublejointed" EP in quality; as easily mixable though and all tracks are similar tempo & groove as Double.... I've always enjoyed knowing next to nothing about the people that are RAC, it makes the music particularly easy to focus one's mind on... To answer your question: definitely not remixes, but probably made all within the same month or two and definitely on the same equipment/mix/eq sense.. solenoid@europa.com <------+ On Sat, 1 Mar 1997, Geoffrey Elgey wrote:

i love RAC. its sort of pounding techno/electro. tempos range from hip hop to midspeed techno. Defintely worth buying. not quite as dated sounding as some of the electro stuff coming out on clear. lots of interesting beat programming. some real dancefloor material as well as some head tunes. -- Mark Edward Bowen Warmed Breakdown mb@gettins.bche.uic.edu

How Daft. Was it store policy? Unusual for an Aussie store. -- ____ ______ ____\ Q-Force mailto:qforce@graviton.levels.unisa.edu.au \_____ _____\ Visit http://graviton.levels.unisa.edu.au/~qforce/ \____
