Hey hey! I bought New Electronica 3 on Friday. "A Moment In Time" just blows
me away, that sax solo and everything. I don`t think much of that Orb track
by the way, too dull and no groove. And did you see the Orb in NME? The titles
for their album tracks etc? They`re just taking the piss! "Bang`er`n`chips"??
sad men...
And I also got "Reflections" by As One (aka Kirk Gegiorgio). This album is
definitely on my wavelength! Kirk believes that techno ought to be soulful
music, but this doesn`t mean "let`s stick in some sax samples or a diva", it
means that the album is full of warm textures and nifty melodies. Much
recommended, especially for fans of Detroit stuff and Black Dog!
I also got this American mag called URB. It`s pretty damn marvellous if you
ask me! I had seen stuff about it on IDM and hadn`t thought anything of it
but I found it in Tower and bought it... I saw TeeP`s note, and Ben`s e mail
no! Wierd! And I really like the musical diversity as well, with hip-hop,
jazz, techno, reggae and ambient presented. Smart!
OK someone asked about the Deepside remixes of "The Art Of Stalking" by
Suburban Knight on FNAC. Well I reckon they`re OK but I still prefer the
original mix. On the other hand, the original is fuckin` good and hard to top
anyway... I`d recommend it.
I desperately want the "World 2 World" EP on UR after hearing "Jupiter Jazz".
Has anyone else got this? Is it class or what?
Turns out that Megatripolis are expanding their record label (Dream) by s
setting up an ambient sub-label and a trance sub-label. And I`m in control of
the ambient sub-label! Wicked! I`ve got to listen to demos and decide what to
put out etc etc. So I`m looking for demo tapes of original, quality ambient
music.
That`s all from me!
Oh, and can someone in the UK tell me how one can get onto internet with a Mac
and a modem? I don`t know cos I`m a student but Mixmaster Morris is trying
to get onto the net and wants some help. What to do?
