Subject:: (idm) transmat & UR reissues

my local shop has stacks of transmat and UR reissues. I have bought some and find them to be pretty hit or miss. The UR stuff can get a little harsh while the Transmat stuff can get a little track-y (ie fine in a mix but not good for listening from start to finish). I loved the last UR lp/ep can anyone suggest some UR/UR label stuff that is in this vein. SImilarly can anyone suggest some of the more idm-y transmat. I loved some of the stuff on the Fragile offshoot. thanks in advance, Mark Bowen mb@gettins.bche.uic.edu

Check out UR#002-Sonic EP and UR#004-Waveform EP Both have some very dark tracks. Not too harsh though Also look for UR#024-the return of Acid Rain Alot of hard acid tracks with an incredible electroesque/acid track (Twista) Let's see what else....oh yeah look for any of Drexciya's records, UR#30 and ? Hope this helps. --Paul p.

X101 has got it's IDMish moments too. "The final hour" remains one of my favourites...very dark, with a very spooky french female voice sample and a "busy"-phone beep sample. "Whatever happen to peace" is also quite dark, as is "Mindpower" with it's freaky reversed & reverbed 303.

Not forgetting the UR#003 - "The Final Frontier". That has to be one of the greatest acid-electro pieces ever.

UR#026 (Bubble Metropolis) & The brilliant Drexcyia "Electric eel" remix of "Electronic Warfare" on UR34 Slow ,funky, freaky and very deep. (Also on that one: the even more brilliant AUX 88 "Take control" mix) Bye. ---.."To advance sonic is the key"---
