"Misnomer" 12" - Four Tet - The long version on the vinyl is sublime.
The full-length was spotty, but this ep blows me away with its depth and
sincerity (not to mention attention to detail)>
"The Sound of Music EP" - Spring Heel Jack - Bells, gongs, melodies and
dissonance. A surefire recipe for an interesting stew. They are to be
lauded for bridging the old and the new, and doing it with style>
"The Brittle Ones" CD-R - Not groundbreaking, but superior to most every
other chirpy crunchy beats-riddled IDM>
"Peter and the Rooster" - Jason Hogans - Carl Craig's bunch discovers
a(nother) work that is emotional, danceable, and bodes well for the
future of house hybrids>
_Toshoklabs Presents: Dated_ - It's all over the place thematically, yet
doesn't sound tired or cliched. Or maybe I should just buy more records
filled with names I'm not familiar with>
_Symbiotics_ - Porter Ricks/Techno Animal - K. Martin finally turns in
something superior to God (which is saying a lot), and Porter Ricks
continue their inexorable march to a permanent seat in my cd changer>
_Closer Colder_ - Faultline, _Osmosis_ - Outstanding representation from
the label of the year, Leaf>
_ep number 3_ - Yunx - To quote Depeche Mode "I just can't get enough">
Favorite tunes that won't come off my turntable/cd player:
Rothko "Rivers Become Oceans (colour defines the cityscape)"
"No.9 Pole remix"
Jochem Paap "Dx-Snth"
Alder & Elius "Bionic Vagina" sorry, but it's soooo catchy ... the 2nd
coming of Miami Bass?
Isan "Reno" curse my scratched vinyl!!!!
Most underrated release:
Freescha 12"
