Well, i greatly prefer Haunted Dancehall though both albums have their moments. I think the lengthy clock factory puts sabresonic down in my ranking, it just seems to be too long and not really go anywhere. I think the place that the sabres (NB Past tense!) really excelled in was in the remixes. The James remix CD had the four part remix all linked to make one continuous track over 40 minutes. That sound pretty much defined the 'sabres sound' though they did have strange phases where their remixes around a particular time took ideas from a particular 'movement'. Can't wait to hear Andy and Dave (Harrow, he of Technova) new stuff, when they get to release it. later martin Hydrogen Dukebox Mo' Wax Org Records Sabres Of Paradise |------------------------------------------------------------------| |THE | The finest | http://www.warwick.ac.uk/~esvtk/ | | SPOON | discographies|------------------------------------| | WEB | on the Web(?)| e-mail : esvtk@csv.warwick.ac.uk | |------------------------------------------------------------------| Done Lying Down Gunshot Eskimos & Egypt Sleeper

Just a few cents worth. I must say that I thought clock factory was one of the strongest tracks from the Sabresonic set. I was also interested to see in an interview, some months back with Mr Weatherall in the NME, that he too thought that of the material on Sabresonic, clock factory was one of the better tracks. IMO though Haunted Dancehall was definately a better album. Regards, Paul.

My problem with H.D is that Mr W. put his emphasis on the sounds but never got the music. completely off-mark. and if it hit a mark I'n not aware off, do tell! IMHO clock factory is THE strongest track on Sabresonic, it hits a mark usualy reserved for industriality. it's a factory kinda thing ya know. regards / snow

Just scored SKYLAB's #1 and sure enough its the dope. Its music for films; drama, suspense, a variety of moods. Crystal clear production as well. Highly recomended. That said here's the question of the day: On the Skylab 12" for Exotica, there is a remix of a track called "Seashell" by a cat named DJ Takemura. If you've heard the track from the full length and DJ Takemura's remix, you know precisely what I am talking about. Anybody got any info on other projects by DJ Takemura? Definitely a man to watch... Thanx N Advanx, Gordon

I have a Mo' Wax compilation from 1993 called 'Jazz Hip Jap Project' that features a couple of tracks by DJ Takemura as well as DJ Krush. Most of the tracks are not really what you expect from Mo' Wax nowadays tho, it's more a kind of cheezy latin acid jazz. For some reason it all sounds quite funny... Coincidentally also something about Takemura was posted on Zappo today... ---- Date: Tue, 31 Oct 1995 02:11:23 +0900 From: sakra@ppp.bekkoame.or.jp (anarchic@jp) Subject: [ZAPPO 358] Lollop Recordings - Osaka I got Takemura's remix album "childs view remix"(Idyllic records)He is also a label producer of Idyllic records. Remixers are Roni Size,Reflection(japanese),Cold Cut,Wagon Christ,Aphex Twin,Mad Professor and Tekemura himself.This is generally a kind of jazz thing but very brilliant works beyond genre and country.The best track is Aphex twin's.One of his best remix work this year.Madly beautiful! Takemura's other works; remix on Skylab, Exotica EP(astral works) a nice dub -ryuji MUNE ---- Cheers, Hans ____ _ _ ___ ___ __ ____ (_ _)( \/ )___ / _ \/ _ \ ___ /__\ ( _ \ Hans Veneman )( \ /(___)\_ /\_ /(___)/(__)\ )(_) ) tv99ad@xs4all.nl (__) \/ (_/ (_/ (__)(__)(____/ +31(0)320 235266 http://www.xs4all.nl/~tv99ad---------------------------------->

Some of Beaumont Hannant's CDs (I know Texturology has it) have a Dolby Stereo sign on them. There is no other mention of it being encoded with surround information in the packaging. Is it really Dolby Stereo? -Ed
