OK, Point taken. Perhaps you might take time to appreciate this classic release, especially the Richard Devine and Push Button Objects tracks. It took a while to wrap my head around Thomas Brinkmann at first but once the flavours mature in you ears, the music is irresistible. Mark my words, in a few years time this will be a highly collectible item with rarified appeal!

I just listened to Sche001 - by Metic after hearing mostly everything else in thecatalogue, A real gem in my humble opinion. If you like the Soul Oddity sound, you know who you are, this will give you insight into the engeneering talent (Metic=Paul Lloyd) who backs the sound of Schematic. "Sixto Novation" is all good in its own way, but this is much mellower, and profoundly moving at times. Just about every electronic label in Florida that has gotten stale and continued to pretentiously pump out high-camp non-sense. On the contrary, Schematic records artists continue to work thier funk in new ways, and although thier recent releases seem misunderstood on this list, dont dismiss until you've heard all the have to offer past, present, and future. -phred Miami,FL Cesium5Hz@aol.com wrote:

two cheers for that! (well part of it) SCH001 is pretty kick ass. the rhythm is just fun. i hated Sixto Novation (except the graphic designs for the labels and sleeve. the gray vinyl went great w/ it!) but bought the 1st Metic EP anyway. its about the only thing i like from Schematic. everything else i've hear (which isn't a whole lot, but enough to leave that vomit taste in my mouth) was just shit. so anyhow, why does the Amazing Discographies page call the 1st Metic EP "Matrix Blaster". could some one w/ the original issuance of it help me clear this up? is it really called that, and do the tracks have names? back// ?-???-?

my copy of sch-001 is on black vinyl with unmarked silver centers. the cardboard is silver too and has a schematic sticker on it. neatly hand-written in red on the white record sleeve are the words "metic - matrix blaster ep." there's no other info. not a bad ep, but i'd take jeswa's _skone_ (sch-004) over it any day. as for new music, i can't recommend kit clayton's _nek sanalet_ (~scape) enough. it's got a nice range of sounds on it, from highly (mis)treated, spooky voice samples to sharp rhythms (think of the best moments on karaoke kalk) to harmonically-rich analogue synth tones. track 2, "purpakana" sounds like the kind of track you hoped would be on the various artists remixes album on fat cat (but wasn't). i'm also digging the eog 12" on djak-up-bitch. slightly dirtier and with more intricate drum programming, but not overly distorted or complex. one track ("birdwatch") has a lazy downtempo feel to it which adds a lot to the overall quality of the record. phase np: isan - salamander --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
