Snapper were cool. Sold out the Astoria (2000 capacity?) which is pretty extrordinary. Kept the place rocking most of the time although they deviated into some slower tracks, possibly one too many. They had one track _Four Dead Monks_ which I think is on the new LP - really good track. And I'm not a keen Red Snapper fan. Skipped the after party and went home to get some sleep for... Rephresh. Missed the venue but bumped into Max Tundra who showed us where the Soundshaft was. Grant was spinning jazzy car-boot records when we got in. This changed into cheesey electro ("N-n-n-nineteen") and from there into old hardcore with Ed DMX on the decks. Moody git that he is, he is still a pretty tight, fun DJ. It was a good fun night but nothing crazily good - I just wanted to hear more Rephlex records played out in a club which is a bit obvious but there you go. New Skam 12" is remixes of Autechre tracks or something. The Gescom remix is good although nothing vastly different, the rest seemed pretty weak on a first listen. Also managed to get Reloads _Auto-Reload 2_ on vinyl and the Gescom 12" on Clear which was pretty tasty. The new Stefan Robbers on Eevolute is also nice. Forgot what else I got as the Triology 4 night on Saturday frazzled my brain. || [CiM] || cim_@hotmail.com || - ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

it's truly dreadful. i'm not a fan of bola or freeform, but this is much worse, definitely the worst skam record yet (including the frisbee). god knows who did those remixes (gescom's being fractionally better than the others) but skam could have come to this list and got themselves some far better remixers! such a disappointment after the first set - i think viral rival is the best thing to emerge from ae in a while. even the inserts are tacky! <waves> Subconscious Geography http://www.sub-con-geo.demon.co.uk +/sale +/cdr

The one with the stunning Black Dog remix on it? Mellow yet bouncy melody, nicely tweaked R8 drums, genius arrangement..ahh....luverly......

Dunno about the new album - but I have "Four Dead Monks (Original Demo)" on the WAP100 compilation... I listened to some other Red Snapper RA snippets on the Warp Site but I can't say I was too impressed... Love "4 Dead Monks" though... are there any other tracks by them in this vein, or was it a one-shot? -- (Remove "spam-me-not" from my eMail-adress to reply ;) Kurt B.
