hi ppl,
trying to keep blatant adverts to a minimum, as per normal, but there's been
a few new releases and info on the Monotonik (idm!) and Mono211
(breakbeat+eclectic) mp3 labels, so thought i'd just blast the info onto
idmlist.
if you wanna get to the labels, there's about 100+ mp3s and 200+ MODs now,
wow, and everything is accessible via the same page:
http://www.mono211.com
firstly, the two newest mp3 releases are:
Aereal - "Connect" (Monotonik)
[a _really_ nice piece of melodic electronics, kinda early 90s, Black
Dog-ish stylee, from a new UK artist who I seriously recommend you check out
- labels, sign this guy now-ish.]
Pendle - "Caffeine Low" (Mono211)
[a tart slice of Archive-ish string-filled triphop from the former member of
dream-pop band Butterfly Child, who's been soundtracking Playstation TV ads
of late and whose Idmonster alter-ego, forthcoming on Monotonik, has been
wowing the #// crowd.]
Also, to summarise the latest Monotonik-artist-related news:
Lots of Monotonik's friends (Vim!, Lackluster, Sleepy, Super Science, Thug)
are on the Surgery "Initial Release" 2xCD compilation, which is finally
getting good distribution outside Australia via Skimo and Hausmusik, amongst
others, I believe - I'm sure Tim Koch will post when it's available at
Skimo, if it isn't already. I recently got my copy, and it's frickin' great,
imho.
Surgery has also announced a forthcoming CD album from Monotonik-mainstay
Vim! :) It's called "Linden:Home Of The Hits", and consists of 18
supercharged, superquirky tracks. I've maintained for a while that the two
artists on Mono that I think most deserve infinite amounts of attention
(although all of them rock!) are Lackluster and Vim!, and I'm glad to see
Lackluster getting props galore, so hopefully Vim! will follow suit..
preview 3 tracks from the Vim! album at:

..if you haven't already. I'm sure someone will post again when it's
released - check Surgery website at:
http://www.clinicdesign.com.au/surgery/home/index.htm
..for latest info, also regarding availability of all the kickass Surgery
catalog (Super Science, Modula, Aspen, Pretty Boy Cross Over, Vim!)
Oh, and Lackluster has a purple 7" due out soon on Zeal Records, and a CD
under his real name (Esa Ruoho) in a slightly more ambient stylee out on
U-Cover, also due soon. But was this already mentioned on-list?
later,
h0l.
