I just saw a new cd release by Freescha but I didn't have the time to stop and take a listen. It was labelled "melodic electronica" (the shop in question, as is often the case, seems to mean IDM when it says electronica, but lets not open that can of worms :-)). Has anybody heard these people? What are they like? Cheers, Ross. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Nice ambient music with the occasional minimal yet funky beat. Overall, an enjoyable experience. I recommend them, their melodies and harmonies can be very beautiful. Check them out on the web at http://www.attacknine.com/freescha.html. -Greg P.S. - I am fairly new to the list, and have been lurking so far, but already all you folks have introduced me to a bunch of great new music through your suggestions, reviews, etc. Thanks a million!

freescha are 2 american peeps who make wonderful dark music. often hip hop-related beats, with dark basslines + beautiful & emotional melodies. best compared to the boards (in the childlike/naive melodies/detuned sounds kinda way) & not arovane (tides), although i think they have a very distinct sound of their own. they do walk on common grounds with the boards in the warmth of their melodies & the broken hip hop feel though... chronological discog & comments: freescha-s/t-attacknine 12" 500 copies. 3 tracks. their first ep. on this one the hip hop isn't that present. one track i remember is bulb which is simply beautiful with the vocoded singing in the end... freescha-s/t-attacknine cd 500 copies(?). mini album. 6 tracks. very good. the hip hop-influence is really coming forward here. plenty of lush melodies & we've got some shorter tracks as well. they even included a lovely beatless piano track... brilliant. freescha-pequod-attacknine 12" ltd to 250 copies, this is their 2nd ep. lush. even darker than their previous material. haven't had many listens to this yet, since i just got it a few weeks ago... watch out for their first real album, kids fill the floor, which will be released on attacknine in august on cd/2xlp! they've also done an ep for bad jazz which should be out soon too! maybe it's been released already? i can't recommend them enough! i suggest you pick up their cd, since it's the most accessible & maybe the easiest to find. all of their releases are lovely, so if i were you i'd get them all! visit freescha/attacknine @ http://www.attacknine.com martin _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Pray tell all....who, what, where, etc. I have one CD packaged in nought but a clear plastic sleeve. LOVE this...slow (ala some of the more dirge-like stuff from Hi-Scores), beautiful and melancholy. I suppose I need to say it IS reminiscent on BoC at points - and I don't care if if it is. I want more. Anyone? jeff

Freescha is a Sherman Oaks, California outfit which currently has two cds and two 12"s released all released on their own Attack 9 label. Their most recent cd, called Kids Fill The Floor, was just released a few weeks ago and features 13 tracks in the downtempo idm style similar to previous Freescha releases although this album doesnt grab me the way the first self-titled Freescha cd did.

lets see here, whats been left off the commment list so far: Cough Syrup (Dextromethorphan) Salvia (all natural) Dmt (the whole terrance mckenna thing with stc) Nitrous or laughing gas (for afx freaks... come to daddy) 18 y/o girls (highly addictive, just look @ humbert humbert) ---- now playing: sun electric "live" on next: i dont know, its a 100 disk changer on random ---- Dan Robitaille --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I'd just like to point out that drinking cough syrup for its dex content is unnecessary and pretty fucking lame. I say this because you can get it on-line, for fairly cheap. 15 grams of dex(usual dose is 300-750) for 30 - 45 bucks. Worth it too. Should mention music. hmm, the "new" Zammuto really has depth to it. Very easy to put it on and totally ignore it, but if you actually listen it can be amazing, not Wilscher, but good stuff, reminds me of Fennesz's Hotel Parrallel.

On the new Carpark "Wanna Buy A Craprak?" compilation, there's a really cool tune by Freescha? It's kind of 80s-ish house with some Plaid influences. What's the scoop on them? I see they are doing a split 12" with Casino Vs. Japan on Wobblyhead. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Video Game: Gulf War 2 (aka World War 2.5) http://www.idleworm.com/nws/2002/11/iraq2.shtml Peace Protests from around the world http://www.hyperreal.org/~dana/ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

they also have a new lp coming out soon. i heard a promo of it today... they seem to have a very slight disco influence starting to creep in. in spite of that, i still liked it. the cover is a little creepy though. - roy . . .. . brasilia http://www.unovis.org ... . ..... .. .... . --- The REAL Mxyzptlk <therealmxyzptlk@comcast.net> wrote:
