Hi, Could anyone provide a review of the new Drexciya release? And if it hasn't been overly discussed, how does the newest Four Tet album compare to his previous work (I've only heard the new one)? Thanks! frank ps_Does anyone know approximately what time Monolake will perform 2-7 at Filter 14 in New York? Thanks again! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Here's a review I did for my website. More can be found at: http://www.staticbeats.com/music_reviews/ I've never purchased any of Drexciya's releases on CD but I own a couple EP's on vinyl and I'm familiar with his appearances on various compilations. I know Drexciya = electro but in reality I couldn't sit around and talk shop about his life's work. Glad I am to now have this superb release to talk about with my fellow shoegazers. In a word, this album is Fly; supa dupa fly. I half expected it to be more breakbeat electro (in the vein of Aux 88) but the majority of the tracks here are straight 4/4 which makes sense as it's being released on Tresor Berlin. It's amazing how much can be said for a really unpleasant album and how little can be said of a thoroughly enjoyable album such as this. What I can say however is that it's great and is sure to become an oft-played classic in my collection as well as receiving plenty of airtime here at StaticBeats. If I could rename the album I'd probably call it "Pieces in a Modern Style" because really, that's what it is classic electro given the modern treatment for 2002. Recommended.

Are we both thinking of the same album? I could almost stomach "the quest", but "harnessed the storm" just came off to me as horrible and derivative, totally played out, to the point where I just turned it off after a few tracks. As has been mentioned, it's on Tresor, so perhaps if you're a bigger fan of the label's straight up techno than I you'll get more enjoyment out of it. YMMV Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
