while i'm glad that there is a focus on motor city and chi-town,
and all the artists who they could have thrown in just to make
the US look stupid arent there,
this is kinda monotonous...
and there are some people definitely missing
(*cough*exist*cough*dance*cough*)
also, porridge man is really out of place...
while i think both throbbing grit and psick tv have
a place in the history of techno and acid house,
it's history not current.. gianelli's track is great..
they should have left it at that
(and thrown on a track from daum or mike and tyler :)
when Morris was in LA he said something about house records
not being made like they used to:
simple repetitive stuff so you can throw on a couple records over it
adn let the DJ's create something new...
i think the first disk is full of tracks like this, but
not too good to listen to at home though, imo
i would be pretty damn well happy if space time and genesis traded places
and tehy just tossed disk 1 but this is mostly just on first listen
and not necesarily the best environment
anyhow...
Space Time Continuum - '101 South of Heaven'
(jonah sharp)
pretty much like his other stuff (imho very good)
if you like that, you'll probably like this
God Withing - 'Conjure Bass Bass'
(scott hardkiss)
Ummmm.... ummm.. cheesey bass riffs meet tweeaked samples
kinda cool stuff if you're in the right mood, but the bass line is just...
blech
Im.mortal Music - 'Slam Dance'
(carl craig)
House. No really. Not much kick to it though,
but im listening on bad headphones. Nice for awhile,
but (like i though "Throw" was) a bit repetitive.
Yennek - 'Dancing Tides'
(kenny larkin)
slightley better than New Age music with a beat
Aux 88 - 'Phantom Power'
(tommy hamilton and anthony horton)
pink floyd meets LFO??
Dan Curtin - 'Round Trip'
straight forward house w/ really annoying top layer noises
gets good between 4:25 and 4:53 though
Mark Gage - 'Rex Me Fecu'
wierd noises... kinda patterned but, not really...
Damon Wild - 'Red Moon'
bubbly stuff over echoed bass somewhat similar
to stuff i made with a pro 1 and a casio rap man
while i was trying to figure out how to use them
(and i still dont.. okay.. i got the rap man down)
Joey Beltram - 'Back Porch'
reminds me of paperclip people for some reason... except noisier...
Storm - 'Acts of Worhsip'
(steve stoll)
subtle acid line of fast little keyboard ditty..
it would be cool if said acid line built up and took over,
but it doesn't
Mike Dearborn - 'Atmosphere 16'
not "straight forward" house, but maybe "up and a little to the lift" house
DJ Skull - 'Flicker'
(r maney)
umm... more up and more to the left
Meat Beat Manifesto - 'Simulacra Part 1'
(yeah right)
dark version of SpaceTime... except with the necesary and desired MBM beat
Himadri - 'Trace'
slow effected beat.. kinda minimal but it changes effects enough
to stay interesting
Plastikman - 'Hump'
(ditto)
it's ritchie.. a mild mellow ritchie, but ritchie nonetheless
Hawke - 'I Have Her'
(gavin hardkiss)
Ummm cool mellow swirling shit with a pretty simple latinish beat
really takes off around 4:30 when the beat kicks in..
Nev - 'Chewy Soulmate, Someday'
(tim prezzano)
bleepy funky ambience!
Black Balls - 'Clap Ya Hands'
(farley jackmaster funk and chip e)
Simple Beautiful Mellow acid... simple but effective beat builds after 5:30
Infiniti - 'Martians At Work'
(juan atkins)
newage ambient house
Born Under a Rhyming Planet -'Blop'
(jamie hodge)
tweaked effected straight forward house...
breaks down to some okay ambient stuff
Thomas Barnett - 'Let There Be Light'
for some reason i'm thinking depeche mode
if they decided to go anywhere interesting
Eddie Fowlkes - 'Lodge Freeway'
almost bleepy, but the bleeps get smoothed out and kinda lose it
Mazdratti - 'Pulverized'
(fred gianelli)
only real technoey track, some rad stuff definitely..
a bit distorted, but acidy bleepy techno
that is a good break from the housey beats
GPO & PTV - 'Mindfeeled'
i'm way to biased against genesis so i couldn't even touch this
