speaking of Device, i've been enjoying the second release on the label quite
a bit as well: Carl A. Finlow - Electrilogy Part 1. As the title suggests,
it's all electro. i don't by much electro, so this is no expert opinion,
but i think these 3 track are great. they're definitely a lot more Fun!
than what i usually buy. and one track has killer dead-on slightly,
tastefully effected, german-accent-inflected, deadpan vocals. and it also
comes in the same nifty blue polyurethane bag
"with the clarity of digital...."
i also like the Yunx record. quite a bit better than the ducky dickie bird
ep and their early pitchcadet release, but that's the only yunx i have to
compare it to.

Subject: [idm] some reviews
Yunx - Customer Service ep (Yunx Recordings) I'd say this was the best thing
Yunx has put out yet, but I haven't heard all their records. So instead I'll
just say it's the best thing I've heard by them. A very varied release with
lots of different moods from upbeat to laid back. Track A1 is just the tops.
Gique - (Device) - New pseudonym of Datathief on Datathief's new record
label. Well, at least one member of Datathief anyway. Gique has a different
sound than Datathief material. Icy futuristic electro with a techno/new wave
edge to it. Sounds good on 45 and 33. A noisy electro remix by Mat 101
finishes things up nicely. And as an added bonus it comes in a really cool
plastic sleeve.
Bokatsu and Pliant - 1 up (Systorm Technologies) a two track 7" that might
appeal to someone on this list. A Side has 'Mario vs. Bowser' by Bokatsu
which is nothing more or less than a very faithful (and very good) cover of
music from Mario Bros'. Kind of a medly of different themes. Side two is
'Zelda's Windmill' by Pliant. Which stands all by itself as a cool song, and
features a really great lead synth melody. No familiarity with the games in
question is required, but it probably helps. Hmmm, I don't know why I think
that the this list might have a higher percentage of people familiar with
the music of these games than the general populace.
