hey everyone, Which Leo Annabaldi release was the one everyone was raving about a while back? I just got Void, I thought that was the one. It's kinda so/so. Anyone else see the Kooky Scientist in Boston last night? My question: I thought his style would be more, well, erm, experimental-sounding(based only on his name). Is all his stuff so dancey, or was he just playing his stuff that's like that to keep the crowd moving? Anyone have the new LP? review? thanks andy np: ultra-dm

i agree with you. even though i am a good friend of Fred's, i was hoping to hear a little more kookiness as you do on record. but his live sets are always a little more dance floor oriented anyway. i thought it was a little more trancey in fact. after his set, he was complaining that he couldn't hear the monitors too well and the headphone volume wasn't loud enough either. perhaps it affected his performance a bit in not tweaking as many things as he could have. he only played a couple of "kooky" tracks while the rest where new renditions of tracks off his own Telepathic label releases.

solid. nice sublty building and evolving tunes. a couple of "experimental"/less beat oriented pieces. Aside from the opening track, i prefer the tracks on the last half of the album a bit better. a little more idm. the first half of the tracks are a little more dance floor or "consumable".the last track "touched by sound", is a funny techno Bossa piece. kinda in the same vein as that Lisa Carbon Trio stuff, but without the pianos. I believe he is remixing this for the next single if i recall correctly. Good production quality overall. Fred has got mad engineering chops. and, he's a pretty good composer..... and lastly, he finally got hooked to play Tribal Gathering, but not in the Detroit Tent. He'll be in one of the other Techno tents with the rest of the Plus8 crew. He has an early evening set. At least he'll get to see Kraftwerk play live. out, benny blanco
