soul oddity "tone capsule" (astralwerks) ________________________________ 1 mezzo modulator 2 welcome back to earth 3 little alien 4 people party 5 freq shift 6 clipped 7 soul communication 8 dj tokyo 9 cruxx 10 fugue keep your eye out for this release, which is not supposed to be out until may 21. had elektroids been in a much funkier mood, they might have given us a full-length with as much bleepy, machine-driven, electronic funk madness as this. there's a little trance, a little electro, a little kraftwerk, some clever samples, lots of stuttering funky rhythms, and very little melody. it works for me. egg

If you like this, you'll probably like the Soul Odyssey 12" on Space Records as well, since Soul Oddity's Josh Kay was sort of half of Soul Odyssey. Oaklawn Records should have some at 214-521-0350, and they do mail order.

I have it on pretty good authority (from people whose music opinions I trust) that it is pretty good. have not heard it myself tho.... -- fEEd/>tEMpESt<\t-mOd/>http://www.umn.edu/nlhome/m211/feed/ feed@maroon.tc.umn.edu/>robw@ivi.com/>tempest@hyperreal.com

Ditto in my book. I haven't heard the Jeswa stuff, didn't even know it was affiliated with Soul Oddity, so I have no comment there (is it good?). In regards to the Tone Capsule EP's on Astralwerks, they're available as individual 12"s or in a single package as a vinyl "album." The third EP has a vinyl-only track called "Chrome Ozone" which is in my opinion one of the better cuts on all 3 EP's. While unavailable on the CD full-length of Tone Capsule, that track is also listed on the Astralwerks CD comp, I think it's called "Werks Like a 12". They can be really bleepy and silly at times, leaning towards more of a DMX than an IDM electro feel. But overall it's pretty quirky and has its moments. I'm not usually too hip on Astralwerks but I dug this - Brock Thanx to Lance, Teep, and Aaron for the help re: IT. Ordered From Beyond Vols. 1-2 the other day from Bent Crayon solely on your recommendations and advice. Looking forward to hearing it.

i bought a mix compilation a while back form Astralwerks called -werks like a 12 "-. it's a pretty crappy comp. //// its got some old Spacetime stuff and Freaky Chakra etc. //// but the 1st track on it was buy a group called Soul Oddity. the track was called "Chrome Ozone".it is from their Tone Capsule 3 EP. this track just had nothing but CLEVER writen all over it and it was worth mentioning. i don't here much about this group so i'm wondering if any-1 has experienced them and what were your thoughts? stilifnampidora, rod _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
