I have chicken wings and beef fried rice and it's a great release of pounding minimal techno. I believe the two instinct releases are more downtempo electronica and idm. I like the chicken wings and beef fried rice release best. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states

As Facil Abe teams up with Dietrich Schoenemann (prototype 909) and turns out one of the more enjoyable releases of Instinct's ambient series. His solo effort as the super secret symphony is a little less (or much less) impressive though...once described in a review as "leaving the machines running for 60 minutes". --Bill William O'Brien wobrien@edisto.cofc.edu (or) obrienw@juno.com Altered state: http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/studio/3031/ "I think, therfore I ambient."

Abe and company are based out of Hollis, Queens (at least they were last I heard) and started releasing some stuff a couple of years ago on his own label: Tension records. I think that Dietrich and Patrick Pulsinger were living with Abe for a while and releasing records on Tension as well. I also believe that some of those guys work at Sonic Groove. The first release (if you can find it) was magnificent. I think it was called "Tales From the Gamma Quadrant". Hints of breakbeats, and nice ambience as well as some unique artwork. A precusor of the good things that have come from that label. A few months after launching Tension, they started up Rancho Relaxo for the more laid-back material. There are at least 10 releases from Tension and Rancho Relaxo alone that I can think of off the top of my head. Here some to name a few: - Johnny Armando Ryder's "The Experience with Trigger" (Tension/Ten 3002) -"Inner Sanctum"(Ten 7001) - Patrick Pulsinger -Die Fiertegen 2 - Kirlian - Angel of Death Tension released a Sahko 12" through a year back or so and Abe has also appeared on a variety of other labels; Sonic Groove, Sahko, Mainframe. Way to many to mention. The last thing you can do is pin down Abe's sound. Way too diverse. Abe makes everything; ambient, hardcore, trance, acid, minimal, you name it. My advice is to track down any of the material on Rancho Relaxo or Tension. sashainboston
