here are a few initial comments on some records/cds i just picked up.
havnt really given any of them a solid listen, but i was quite impressed
with what i heard (some of the descriptions are lifted from the s://kimo
mail order information).
im sure somehow most of these will be on my radio show (kuci 88.9fm,
kuci.org, wednesday 7-8pm) this week if youre curious.
*VA: Blip, Bleep (Soundtracks to Imaginary Videogames) CD (LUCKY
KITCHEN.003). $11.50

Products, Aerospace, Flatline Racing System, Stupid Lepton, Wheaton
Research, Suetsu & Underwood, Underwood.
this cd is so much fun! it will go so well with the Mario Paint release,
Perrey and Kingsley, that Rephlex release from the guy who does the
Boredoms electronics (forget his name -- but its FUN!), the Lexaunculpt
cover of the Metroid theme song (hopefully out in the not too distant
future? :), and maybe even Land of the Loops or Le Tone (Mad Professor
mix) or Volume All Stars..
basically, each track has a brief and odd desription of the video game
that the song is supposed to be for..
video game programmers out there should really hook up with these artists.
that would be fucking sick!
also, this is the first release i have heard from the Lucky Kitchen
folks.. quite impressed. hopefully i'll hear 1 and 2 sometime soon.
*GESCOM: 12" THAT (Skam)
Whatever (Tara remix)
Self Impersonation (Pharoid remix)
Chunge (Gescom remix)
A57 (DC Duos remix)
i really, really like this. nothing too different from what i expected,
but somehow it just hit me in the right spot. im sure folks will comment
on this like mad, so thats all im saying :) i like it!
*TORTOISE/AUTECHRE: Remix 12" (THRILL JOCKEY)
much better than the skinny puppy remix.
actually, its quite nice. mellow, basically beatless stuff.
*DJ HELL: Munich Machine 2LP (DISKO B)
i really like the Suicide Commandos 12" that Hell just put out (especially
the i-f/overdose remix), so i picked up the full length. its pretty cool,
and the track "dominatrix" really fits well with my recent post
industrial/electro mood. this thing is pretty diverse though, and damn
silly at points.. listen first.
thats all!
