yep -- gotta chime in here -- perlon is fucking brilliant. the description of the perlon sound as "dry" is right on -- i don't know what it is, something about the lack of reverb, the space between beats, something. sort of a cross between Thule and Matt Herbert, played in a padded room? no, that's not it. the other thing i really dig about the perlon sound is the use of vocal snippets -- often there are these breathy, quiet vocal snippets blended in, deep in the mix -- very sexy, but never overtly so. in other stellar house news, vladislav delay's new 12" as Luomo on forcetrax is just fucking incredible. real house music, (restrained) diva vocals, totally inspiring funk... i can't believe it's the same guy. can't wait to hear the full-length.

Somewhat, yes. As dry as kompakt, but not as uniformly repetitive. Chain reaction has a much dirtier, thicker sound. The music on Perlon is very much like Playhouse, although a bit choppier, perhaps, and the vinyl pressing is a lot better. There are some artists with releases on both labels (Villalobos, for instance.) Short answer: Perlon is excellent- I think you'll regret missing that show! bbn _______________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

No ones' mentioned Markus Nikolai's Bushes yet, which is very much a Perlon classic - on the Superlongevity album. Its quite a cheery latin sounding minimal-house track that stands out from the dri-er/dark-er sounding scapes of Perlon. Those who enjoyed the recent Lowtec release on Playhouse will sit well with this label. Brilliant stuff.

There was a previous discussion that questioned whether Luomo was Delay (or not). Maybe Errki Rautio may be able to clarify. I really can't see any connection of this track to the Vladislav Delay sound. Yes, its excellent but as you say...you "can't believe its the same guy".

Alright, I found that rumour source that the alias of Luukas Onnekas aka Luomo is Vladislav Delay. This is what I found on pHinn: "Luukas Onnekas" translates as 'Lucky Luke' (a popular French cowboy cartoon), so we have all reasons to suspect this is not a real person but a Vladislav Delay alias... -pHinn Note the key word is 'suspect'. So perhaps this goes into the waters of the mysterious producer ala elements of Chain Reaction anonymities...?

well, i'm going on what i learned from mille plateaux/force inc folks, so i'd guess the info is legit. as totally surprising as it is... actually, i find such an out-of-left-field surprise to be a really refreshing thing, these days. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

In my opinion, you really can't go wrong with Perlon - every record is a winner. For starters I'd recommend checking out Perlon 10 - it's a 2x12" comp of a number of their artists.... or check any of the Dimbiman releases... anything, really. Great stuff.

Thanks Man, I really appreciate it!.....Yeah, I have got that MRI Cd....its okay.... Someone mentioned the Perlon Label to me....Hmmm.....looks like I better get checking.... Again, I am really diggin that Jori Hulkonnen CD, When No one is watching....... And I hate to say it, again, and again and again but ahhhh....that FBA disc......Ohhhhh Brother! -----Original Message----- From: M Mercer [mailto:vletrmx@hotmail.com] Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2002 10:59 PM To: idm@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: [idm] That Tech-House vein the obvious first picks would be MRI and Crane AK, both on Force Inc/Forcetracks... really really smooth stuff. I assume you've found these already because they've been out for some time... Ricardo Villalobos "Love Family Trax" CD ... this one is great, somewhere in that Playhouse/Perlon sound, with Akufen, Villalobos, etc... really nice mix, continuous DJ set Akufen "Quebec Nightclub" LP (Perlon) super cut-up really angular house, lots of samples of radio, television and other artists tossed in. The best thing I've heard on Perlon. v/a "Superlongevity" 2CD (Perlon) continuous 2CD set (well, it stops between CDs ;-) which actually wears a bit thin by the end of each disc, but is basically all you could ever want from Perlon's backcatalogue. Jetone "Ultramarin" (Force Inc) deep techno, i think this is one of the better Force Inc releases of recent past Corvette 12" (Max Ernst) Brinkmann at his finest, with lots of musclecar samples and slick beats Misc. 12" (Forcetracks) really slick techhouse by numbers, kinda, but still worth checking out. Probably closer to what you've described below. Losoul "Belong" CD (Playhouse) some nice middle ground between techy and straight-ahead house music. sorry for the superbrief descriptions, not feeling up to the challenge really tonight, but these are all worth looking into I think.

Yes, that's what I thought too, and promptly ordered Superlongevity from s/kimo, but I don't get it ... at all. What's all the fuss about? This doesn't come close to getting me excited.

Perlon is my favorite label at the time. I think you have to like 4/floor as much as I do to appreciate it. You can't be anti-house or a little weird about it and like their whole Discog. I think. Funny... I just picked up superlongevity on vinyl last night. Though I've had the cd for a long time. a. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Perlon seems to be a great label to my ears. The "Superlongevity" comp is a bit much though. I think its drawback is that the label has crafted such a particular sound within that techhouse genre, that when its tracks are mixed so continuously, it wears thin pretty fast. Despite it not being on Perlon, I recommend you check out the Ricardo Villalobos mix CD, "Love Family Trax" (with Bambi on the front). It's a much better collection of tracks and, in my opinion, mixed more interestingly. When you think about it, Superlongevity is over 2 hours of continuous Perlon tracks, and it just is too much to keep anyone interested, unless they wanted a mix CD of all the 12" they alraedy own perhaps (I had none at the time). Then again, I have a rather short attention span, for what it's worth.... (Not much I suspect.) However, back to Perlon: Akufen "Quebec Nightclub" LP: totally essential listening. Really amazing stuff, easily the best cut-up techhouse stuff I've heard yet. Lots of snippets of radio/TV as well as bits of Coil, Madonna and whoever else has crossed his stereo I imagine. Also includes a Pantytec remix on one side.

Maybe I'm in the wrong mood. All the time :-) Some of the 12" singles are quite wonderful and shine on their own. some by Villalobos, in particular. But they suffer on the CD of Superlongevity -- way too much similar sounding stuff, segued together aimlessly. Does this merely confirm your assessment that Perlon is mostly good for a song here or there? Well...maybe. but a handful of great singles is more satisfying than a cloying CD. k --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
