Some info on some of their releases from last year then...
Theorem: "Nano" (2xLP / CD) -- Minimalistic Detroit techno (hence the
name "Nano") by Dale Lawrence. Actually quite pleasant and
emotional, especially one track which is one of my top 10s of
last year, "Dilate". BTW I saw him post a message to this mailing
list a few months ago.
Legion of Green Men: "Spatial Specific" (2xLP / CD?) -- Funky midtempo
electrotechno. Couldn't really get into it but I won't say it
was boring. An intersesting thing about this double LP is that at
the end of each side there is a neverending loop.
Born Under a Rhyming Planet (Jamie Hodge): "Born Under a Rhyming Planet"
(EP on red vinyl) -- My favourite of the releases mentioned here.
It's hard to describe, perhaps acoustic jazz-influenced ambient
would fit. Reminds me of impressionism (Debussy etc.) of classical
music.
Kooky Scientist: [oops, can't remember the name] (EP) -- Again minimalistic
Detroit techno, but this time it's boring to death (IMHO). I've
heard others that like it though.
