This auction is for a long out of print GARY MOSCHELES ? SHAPED TO MAKE YOUR
LIFE EASIER original 12? with bonus limited edition 7? from SSR Crammed
Discs Records dated 1996. The records are in mint condition. The jacket has
some ink writing on the top left corner, but otherwise in great shape as
well. I do not believe you will find another copy in as excellent of shape
as this has been in storage for all these years. By day Mike Paradinas
labours under the ?-ziq moniker, creating disjointed, awkward and angular
tracks that shift the boundaries of what's acceptable in esoteric techno. At
night, he dons a cape and becomes Gary Moscheles, the epitome of cool and
the world's greatest swinger. As a lounge lizard to rival Dean Martin, the
alter-ego in question is only interested in music you can dance to - as
opposed to music for the brain - arid he goes to great lengths to create the
perfect atmosphere for hedonism. From the vibes samples of 'Mamborama' to
the ridiculous and OTT parody of showbiz insincerity that is 'Gary's House',
Moscheles plays around with any strand of dance he can think of. Repetition
is his stock-in-trade, often used to hypnotic effect, but sometimes used to
irritate in the same manner as a squeaky toy oil a blackboard. On the plus
side, the modern-day mambo of 'Mamblues' is drenched in the sort of Acid-y
squiggles lass heard during '87's supposed Second Summer Of Love, while
'Walk It Like This' strains towards authentic jazz-dance. Yet again,
Moscheles can't restrain his more sarcastic tendencies, and closer listening
reveals rude words or funk chants buried in the mixes. His crowning glory is
probably '1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8', where Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock's 'It Takes Two'
early rap classic is stripped down and remade with a smirk. For all his
desecration of past music, however, it's easy to tell that Moscheles has an
abiding love for all tile cheesy sources he samples. Certainly, there's
enough evidence here to suggest the real reason Mike Paradinas chose this
pseudonym was to allow his more conventional side room for expression.
