Also a few records I picked up recently... (REVIEWS OF: Disc, BT, and Company Flow) * Disc "<transfer>" LP + bonus copy Pretty dang essential to those of you here who are novelty suckers. I don't much else about Disc except that his/her/their music is based on messed up CD players playing messed up CDs, with the occasional F/X fuckery. This record marries this concept with the RRRecords' locked groove fetish to produce a very handy slab of vinyl..(that's cleverly made to look like a pair of 12" CDs)... Lots of locked grooves, and a few multi-minute tracks. These are some of the more interesting locked noise grooves I've heard. Released on Deluxe records in Berkeley, CA. * BT "Fibonacci Sequence" (one-side white label) A track culled from Sasha's "Global Underground 013: Ibiza" compilation. Certainly one of the best new school breaks tracks I've heard in a while. For those who like Uberzone, Buckfunk 3000, T. Power, Bargecharger, FreQ Nasty, etc... and yup, the song is about that dang infamous mathematical sequence, doncha know! * Company Flow "Little Johnny From The Hospitul: Breaks and Instrumentals Vol. 1" 2LP I slept on this one, but I found it used recently for $9, so why not? Certainly belongs in the "Is it 33 or 45?" category... One of the best instrumental break/hip-hop records I've heard alongside the latest by Riow Arai.. I don't know much about Company Flow aside from a Blackalicious remix, this 2LP, and hearing that name here and there in the recent past. Any other recommendations? -- I also skimmed through the latest by Funkstorung, and thought it was pretty dang spiff... though I think the album design is.. just amazing. ======================================================================= Brian MacDonald <brianm@kuci.org> KUCI 88.9 fM in Irvine, CA -- Orange County ======================================================================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

first, get coflow's album, "funcrusher plus" on rawkus. it came out years ago and is actually a compilation of 12 inches, etc they put out since ?95? or so. el-p (one of the emcees and producers of coflow) in my humble opinion is excellent. he is on the handsome boy modeling school lp rhyming over an ALEC EMPIRE track which is SICK, he's on del's new album, he has a track on soundbombing 2, he's on dj vadim's "ussr" which is another great album you should pick up (on ninja tune), and he is currently working with cannibal ox on an upcoming album. he said company flow were also working on a new album. take care, zachary zacharymastoon@hotmail.com ________________________________________________________________________ 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
