Hey folks I have not bought any new stuff in say oh, 3 weeks. I have been to busy to catch up on the IDM list lately. The last thing I posted was some stuff about EBTG on Mtv. I went to their show last night by the way. Most of the Jungle beats were played LIVE, however they misloaded something and could not play "before today" a song I think is their best DnB track, and Tracey Thorn's partner (forgot his name) DJ'd drum n bass for quite a while before the show started. OH, yeah I forgot I do have a question. Since I have been so busy I wanted to know about any new CD's last few weeks that you all suggest. Oh yes, forget the Mike and Rich thing, I did manage to hear that one. thanks in advance --------------------------------MUCH LOVE------------------------------- GMV500 email: videla@ucsu.colorado.edu (h)303 786-0893 (w)303 492-5151 (f)303 492-5959 philosophy: ambient+breakdance=IDM final words: more beer! -------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is an awesome release! Anyone who has Freezone 2 has heard "Pulse of Life," and knows how good it is. It seems like Sentinel is Rupert Parkes' more ambient/lush/brighter sounding alias compared to Photek.

Does anyone have any info on this? I know that their second full length (which is brilliant) just recently came out, so I'm surprised to see they have another EP out already. Can someone fill me in on the details, please?

This track is featured on the In Order to Dance vol. 6 comp. Very, very groovey (sp?) and danceable, and arranged very well at the same time. Jim Bob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Bob Aiken jaaiken@vt.edu http://csugrad.cs.vt.edu/~jaiken/

Couple new tidbits worth mentioning..... Jeswa - Krone 12" (schematic) This miami-based label is certainly worth paying close attention to, and this Jeswa debut is hardly an exception. Four tracks of delicate, beautiful electronics... nods mildly to Simon Pyke, Bola, Autechre and even Kraftwerk. A very sincere, finished recording... and god knows where all those squishy alien synth sounds come from, but I love it! Squarepusher - Hard Normal Daddy (warp) The second album is always the toughest challenge, and I think Jenkinson pulled it off. But don't expect another Feed Me Weird Things.... especially tracks like "Tundra." Instead, HND features densely sequenced hardcore jazzy tunes similar to the warp EPs. "Rustic Raver" is certainly a gem... superdense breaks and distorted fuzz crammed over wobbly bass that's totally unbelievable! "Fat Controller" nods towards old school hip hop - a funky breakbeat track with scratches and groovy samples... totally unexpected, yet sits comfortably on the album. "Rat/P's and Q's" opens with a very familiar melody, while Jenkinson fiddles with his bass snapping jams at an unbelievable force... and to think he taught himself! Wow... Amon Tobin - Bricolage (Ninja Tune) Finally, more material from Tobin, whose full-length debut on NINEBAR as Cujo totally blew my mind.... jazzy drum'n bass - that sounds like jazz with drum'n bass breaks, and not some Alex Reece wankery prodigal 17 year old. And Tobin's material sits very comfortable next to Squarepusher's feisty breaks, though Tobin is certainly a lot more laid back... "Stoney Street" opens the disc with smooth breaks, full orchestra and a funky slapping bass. "Chomp Sampa" is probably the closest to Jenkinson's frantic sound, with a full-on blast of what sounds like 300 drummers in unison pounding away while tobin tweaks his bass while adding more and more drums.... incredible! "Defocus" is a beautiful, sobering excursion through layers of slow breaks, trumpet, and this oddly undefinable flutey violinesque melody that just chews along through the tune. It's irresistably beautiful.... actually, the entire disc is... highly reccommended along with the domestic (USA) reissue of Cujo's debut on Shadow. Tobin's work just leaves me stunned.... more more! Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug Versions (Nothing) It's worth picking this up...the meat beat mix is damn cool, the plug mix is certainly nice (though actually nothing that special), the nin mix is pleasant (though again, nothing exceptional) the spacetime mix sounds so pleasant on the ears, and though actual progression throughout the track is minimal, the mix plods along nicely.... and the orb mix? Well, it's shit.... but it's at the end so it doesn't matter. What I hadn't expected was to hear the tracks mixed together.... actually, the disc is almost a dj mix..... now I finally see where trent is going with his new image! At least this disc is a sign of some sensibility. I doubt nin's new album will be anything as numbingly cheesy as Bowie's recent attempt on "Earthling." Various Artists - Switch Records 1992-1997 (Switch) No doubt on some compilation you've got a copy of Teste's excellent 1992 classic, The Wipe. This compilation gives you the opportunity to find out just who this artist (Himadri) is, and learn about his other projects... including Lavalamp (who appeared on Worm Interface's Alt.Frequencies comp earlier this year). Projects like Perceptrons, Blade, Truph, Sysprite and Silent Floor all attempt to shed some light on Himadri's rather subtle output on the Toronto-based Switch label. Certainly worth checking out! Various Artists - The Next Step (Instinct Electronica) Instinct have setup their latest sublabel to promote the latest in jazzy drum'n bass... with releases to date including Germany's Kosma and the heavy plugged Jimpster (whose two 12"'s on Freerange are reissued for the first time on CD)... a favorite of Mixmaster Morris. The Next Step is an attempt to profile some of the artists Instinct are working with for new albums, as well as some licensed tracks by Red Snapper, Endemic Void, James Hardway and Four Ears. Easily for me, the highlight of the disc is Chris Bang's "Future Cliche," a hardhitting drum'n bass epic that leaves me breathless - a sorta bigband jazzy tune that goes down smoothly with absolutely no filler. Unbelievable! Okay, enough from me.....just a few things I thought you should know about. See ya!

wow... sounds like it's going to be an exciting year for warp. do you suppose these are all slated for the first part of '98 or just spread out through the whole year? if they're going to get all this stuff out by april or may, i'll be broke! happy, but broke nonetheless. i was wondering about LFO. seems like forever since advance came out. jeez... new stuff by aphex and sqpshr again, too? wow... can't wait for '98! thoroughly excited alan! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Marco Passarani has released material on Alan Oldham's (DJT1000) now-defunkt label Generator out of Detroit and, more recently Marco has been releasing material on the Italian Nature label. I only have one or two of Marco's Generator records and haven't listened to them in awhile but from what i remeber it was trancy techno. I'll have to give it another listen to see if i'm missing something. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states

He was obviously *highly* influenced by Aphex during this period since many of the tracks sound suspiciously like cuts from _Analogue Bubblebath 1_ and _Classics_. He has the aggressive beats with haunting synth wash pattern down well... E r i c F r a n s ----------------------

some recommended new releases: Mr. Curtin's first release on his own label since 1993: Dan Curtin--Spatial Relationships EP (MET0C011) A Crazy Life B1 She Thinks She's So Smooth B2 An Up The Wall Drive I've only had a chance to give it one quick listen, but it's prime Curtin--tricky rhythms with quirky electronics wrapped in plenty of warmth. Should be out in December sometime. Same thing for the two new Metamorphics (only had a chance to give a quick spin so far): Morgan Geist--Nebula Jersey Volume One (Environ) ENV004 A1 Ventriloquism A2 How Beep Is Your Love B1 Roboho B2 Evawen *Geist excels with a variety of moods and plenty of dancefloor abstraction Daniel Wang--Mechanical Birds EP ENV005 no tracker; i don't have any song titles for this ***that unmistakable Balihu funk; sorta like an I Feel Love-era Moroder slowed down and freaked up. Groovy. Not sure when the Wang is out. Geist is out now. the latest in the limited release series: Dan Bell's Elevate Special Projects ELVSP2 out now A Subterranean B1 The Wild Life B2 Berserk A1 has a laidback bouncing kick with an occasional one-bar reversed keyline and another keyloop that appears half way before being joined by some low in the mix perc to drive the track to a finish. the B side is more energetic with a continuous background synth wash building to a combination 4 note low bass line/single synth sweep and intermittent synth washes. B2 is a busy percussion arrangement with chopped "everybody get" samples that follow their own rhythm. Bell doublepack should be out in spring; should be another ESP before 99 hits; DBX will return in 1999; look out! Kurbel newies: Kurbel follows up label owner Bartz' The Traveller with Daniel Lodig's Santora EP (Kurbel013), a gritty 6 tracker that has some Sahko/Dum style gritty 4:4 and a few dark electrofied #s as well. Traveller is out now. Santora is supposed to be out now but I haven't seen it anywhere yet. Thanks.

Hello all. Just a quick note to mention that I've updated the New Releases page at Brainwashed after taking a couple of weeks off over the holidays (when there weren't many new things coming out, anyway, so it didn't really matter). Lots of stuff has been added for the next few months, so you may want to have a look... http://www.brainwashed.com/releases cheers, Greg
