Just wanted to let people know about an outstanding first release from one of our list members. (He's much too modest to post this himself.) This isn't intended as an ad. I'll be happy to sell it, but I would also be happy to have people order it directly from John -- I'd just like to see it get the attention it deserves, always a problem for a CD without a popular label behind it. Anyway, if you're interested, you can get it from me or directly from John (jtalbert_NS@ameritech.net) (price is the same from either source: $12) Rick Efofex "Proof" CD This is an exciting first release from John Talbert (aka Efofex). This release resembles the likes of Richie Hawtin's "Plastikman" work as well as hints of Atom Heart's production techniques. Definitely one to own if you're into minimal techno that constantly evolves in and out of itself. Quality home grown electronica. Here's a description (in his own words) of this first release: Works within this collection represent the first public unveiling of the private musical experiments of John Talbert. Besides common electronic paraphernalia, the entire CD was includes a respectable measure of effects gathered from various sources including short wave radio spurts, bent voices and the like. The long term vision is to coalesce more of the sounds of the twisted norm with the rhythm and emotion of the synthetic. All done in the interest of science. Track Listing: 1. particle 101 2. why did logan run? 3. 2 terms 4. column 5. erratik 6. vertical 7. blahp 8. 11010001 9. sick cricket 10. subtracted 11. safteyville (bonus track. Composed with B.Jensen) Synaptic Records 608 S. Broadway Denver, CO 80209 (303) 722-9428 (vox) (303) 722-9540 (fax) synaptic@eazy.net http://www.eazy.net/synaptic-records/

I'd like to second the motion that you all get yourself a copy of the Efofex release. Here's a mini-review I wrote for my playlist mailing list when I spun a track on my show a couple weeks back... Efofex - Proof CD-R (indie) Proof? Proof of what? Well, how about proof that some of the best experimental techno coming out today isn't being brought to you through the usual channels, but instead via DIY projects like this one. With this homepressed bit of plastic, Efofex - aka John Talbert - offers an inspired collection of (dare I say it?) intelligent dance music that any respectible electronic label would be proud to add to their roster. My only complaint - and it's a small one - is that a couple of tracks go on just a touch too long. Otherwise, it's a solid set of choons. Check the Efofex website to get yourself a copy - http://www.ameritech.net/users/jtalbert Greg
