Found me a 12" called Spy Satellite on Viewlexx label. anyone know anything about this artist? For that matter, what about this label, can I find more hard hitting shit like this from this label? All's I can say is this is some wicked IDM music for you needing a little something rephreshing. Not ground breaking, but phat nonetheless. Beats are pretty straight forward, but the some of the tracks reminds me of Darren Price _Under the Flightpath_ with a little harder edge to it!!! the Second track on side B brings to mind RDJ's tampax on his CLASSICs release. if you're lucky like me, maybe you too will find it for $2:) rating 8/10. anyone got some 411 on this get in touch with me thanks, -0

Yes I have that Viewlexx 12" as well. Quite good. It's actually not by one artist. It's a split 12" by two: A) Ilsa Gold: Meine Garage B) DJ Pure: Breakfast Session This Viewlexx 12" is #4. I haven't seen any other Viewlexx releases but obviously there are three others. But I do know of a few releases that the producers of Viewlexx #4 have done (but i wouldn't recommend any of them): Other releases i know that Ilsa Gold has done: . Ilsa Gold: Upsolute 12" (Tension) . Ilsa Gold: Silke 12" (Force Inc.) . Ilsa Gold: Silke The Remixes 12" (Force Inc.) Other releases i know that DJ Pure has done: . DJ Pure: Analogue Terror 12" (Drop Bass Network) Plus a dreadful gabber track on a french comp called . Manu Le Malin Biomechanik Vol. 2 12" (Level II) Hope this helps! -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states

nice to finally see some of my longtime label passions getting IDMpress above and beyond my own persistant barking... VIEWLEXX V7/1 - BEVERLY HILLS 808303/HOTT (2x7") this is some seriously stripped down and dripping hard acid pressed onto pastel blue and yellow 7". invites you to pop it in your mouth all sweet colored looking, and rasps it's way down your aural esophagus like a tablet of drano. dangerous. VIEWLEXX V12/1 (TEST) I-f - Portrait of a dead girl (LP) this I don't think ever made it out to label copy, as it was scooped by disco b. the test featured cuts which did not make it onto the disco b. label also, I would guess there's about 100 of them, blue label with old star trek block letter font. i'm diggin around my own files for a copy of reviews I have done ...

>>here's the disco-b version review which was in urb>>

I-F Portrait of a Dead Girl 2 (Disko B/DE) TECHNO Those few with an ear to the sewer (read: one of 100 holding "the brown elbow") know well that the sounds of the Hague have recently stepped straight off the screen like a musical Purple Rose of Cairo. Disco B has stolen from Hottmix Electro-nix a set of four superbly Sountrackian sewer scene's complete with John Carpenteresque pads, a bit of wild style analogue stabs, Time-Space-Trasmatic acidlines, shake down snares and highly original pitch bend jam fills. (Teep) << VIEWLEXX V12/2- I-f vs JUNGIAN ARCHETYPE (LP/10") The Testpilot. A 12" and translucent blue 10". Mostly minimal klonky techno, not hard but not 'soft' shades of funk, shadows of darkness. Having a damned time finding my copy of the urb review, sorry. VIEWLEXX V12/3 (TEST)- THE BROWN ELBOW CONSPIRACY (LP) The quintessential Viewlexx. Extraordinary cuts each of them. This will be re-released and will certainly stir up interest as it seeps out to dis-infect the masses... The Brown Elbow Conspiracy - Viewlexx - V12/3 12" HOTT shit, what else have you come to expect from the minds hunkered deep within the Electro-nix HQ. The Brown Elbow elixir slides down into your soul and Panzer-blitzes your appetite for the trademark taste of fired up poly-rhythmic beat-boxes and, as it's been asserted, John Carpenteresque pads. A bit of wild style analogue stabs loosen your inhibitions and restore your affinity for Time-Space-Trasmatic acidlines. Shake down snares hint toward a Landcrusian Craig Effort with a flash back to the tools used on PSYCHE. Engaging moments are a plenty, especially with forays into highly original pitch bend jam fills and supercool new shades of POP muzik! Shoobie doobie do wop! VIEWLEXX V12/4 - SPYSATELLITE (12") and yeah, this was a super nice sampler... V/A Spysatellite (Viewlexx/NL) TECHNO Cliche be damned, there IS something here for everybody and everybody IS going to want some from the Viewlexx Vanguard. Pure's "Breakfast Session" cooks up beatboxes and flips through sizzling paths of resistance. Ilsa Gold's Kraftwerkian "Meine Garage" saunters into a post new wave neighborhood. IMP/I-f weigh in with the heavyweight classic, "Cry" a gut wrenchingly earnest emotionally gripping rendering et machina. Passarani reminds us in a not so polite acidic tone that boys DON'T cry. (Teep) VIEWLEXX V12/5 - ELECTRONOME (Forthcoming) Haven't heard this yet, but given Electronome's propensity for great great work, I anticipate ingestion. Other highly recommended staffs... MURDERCAPITAL M001 - I-f vs TN INTERR-FERED communications HM 1202 - ELECTRONOME INTERR-FERENCE communications HM 1203 - ELECTRONOME - No landscape REFERENCE HM 12101 - INTERR-FERENCE - Return to Mos Eisley REFERENCE HM 12103 - HOTT - Radiosilence REFERENCE HM 12105 - JUNGIAN ARCHETYPE-Gravitonpolarisation REFERENCE HM 12111 - V/A - The Chase All of which are old enough and limited enough to put your hunting skills to the test. One of these days I'll mix up an "all acidplanet" type set and ask permission to encode and release it for public consumtion. Teep

Speaking of Darren Price's "Under The Flightpath" ... there is a French Techno magazine called "Trax" that I've found in a couple of different places here in L.A. now. The 2nd issue (with a blurry pic of Beth from Portishead adorning the cover) dated September/October '97 has a free sampler CD accompaning it; the tracks are 1. Portishead - "Seven Months" (from "Portishead") 2. Ballistic Brothers - "Blacker" (from "Rude System") 3. Bentley Rhythm Ace - "Return of the Hardcore Jumble Carbootechnodisco Roadshow" (from "BRA") 4. Death In Vegas - "Rocco (Dave Clarke remix)" (from "Dead Elvis") 5. Darren Price - "Blueprints" (from "Under The Flightpath") 6. Howie B. - "Angels go bald, too" (from "Turn The Dark Off") 7. Charles Schillings - "Hawaii Police d'Etat" (from "Serialement votre" comp) 8. Subject 13 - "Just 4 You (Gilb'R mix)" (from "The Black Steele Project") 9. Blaze - "Sacred Sex" (from "Basic Blaze") 10. Photek - "Modus Operandi" (from "Modus Operandi") The Darren Price track is really excellent - pure driving Techno somewhat in the Luke Slater/Planetary Assault Systems vein. I'll definitely be picking up "Under The Flightpath" if I stumble across it ... Oh yeah ... unfortunately, the magazine is all in French :-( It was US $9.95 at the newsstand where I found it. Not bad for a CD and at least I can look at the pictures :-) - Greg
