Gescom is hit or miss. Some is fantastic (SKA002, SKA007) and some is
not (_Motors_, the MiniDIsc release). Well worth picking up, and one of
my favorite tracks of all time, is the Ad Vanz vs. Gescom "Viral" on Fat
Cat (a split 12" w/Foehn). The MD release has its moments, but they are
few and far between. Definitely not worth $20, much less $30. It is, um
... challenging ... listening. It's already been covered, but the
collection is snatches of audio spread out over 88(?) tracks and is a bit
maddening to listen to as a result. Nothing ever settles in, but I guess
that's the point.
In other news, I have given Fila Brazillia a second chance and bought
their 2cd remix collection. While they do a nice job turning Radiohead
into Sade even they can't save Moloko from milking a wasted 6 minutes of
my life from me. Unfocused, cluttered, bland and quite enjoyable as a
result. The disc, that is. Puts me right to sleep. But why include
their Lamb remix? I now own that damn song on 5 different cds! Whoever
does their licensing needs to be shot ...
And last I heard, Christoph de Babalon was arrested for "promoting a
riot" or some such silly German governmental nonsense. As if the
disenfranchised, disillusioned and poor need be incited to riot against
the status quo. Or complacent middle class students.
Anybody heard the new release on Pitchcadet? Looks to be a change from
their "usual" output.
