I'm going home tomorrow so have an intelligent Xmas y'all. Here are some
present ideas for your loved ones...
Appaloosa : ? (Recoil)
Mark Pritchard (Reload, GC, ...) goes all jungle on us. Thats no
problem tho' because its all _very_ nice indeed. If you took away the
jungle breaks and used more industrial sounds, you'd have some tracks
straight off of _A Collection of Short Stories_. As it is you get some
amazingly tight jungle beats, much harder and crisper than most jungle.
Yum.
Vapourspace : Vista Humana (Internal promo)
A bit disappointing this one; all the remixes, well, suck would define it
quite easily. The Sleepwalker mix is vaguely okay-ish, being quite an
'up' remix (reminds me of Speedy J for some reason). The live mix of
_Gravitational..._ tensed to sweeten the whole package but is far from
essential.
Nuages : Blanc EP (F Communications)
An astounding minimal house EP from top geezer Ludovic Navarre and
his label mate Shazz. Distantly acidic, minimal beats, abounding
lushness; its all amazing stuff. Really uplifting too. All techno snobs
(like me) should get a dose of this...
[Various] : Pulse Four (Jumpin' and Pumpin)
Another old FSOL release I picked up. This one is the best of the bunch;
driving techno in an _Accelerator_ style. _Space Virus_ is the sound of a
nasty analog synth, having a shit on a breakbeat. Visceral.
Sensurreal : Launch When Ready (Beam Me Up!)
Noisy, house on the A side; okay but nowt special. Flip it over for a
hard dubby, clattering techno beat and then a gorgeous techno/house
hybrid that virtually demands that you dance. On your feet _now_, boy.
