panacea is just one guy. well, he's enormously fat, so someone might confuse him for two, but... basically he does boring, distorted drum n bass. run your dnb through a distortion pedal, and wah la. he's okay now and again. - wells oliver / s0ewoliv@titan.vcu.edu

Scene in Modulations that made me laugh out loud (maybe aided by the fact that I understood his original German without having to wait for the subtitles) but he was finding it hard to express what he wanted to say - basically using rubbish bins for drums and just THRASHING the hell out of them. That sorts him out, sort of :-) Actually, try the Position Chrome compilation - including Heinrich at Hart - on Force Inc. 1997 - for an introduction to what it's about.

Hard D N' B techstep mostly. Both "Twisted Designz" and "Low Profile Darkness" are discs worth checking out. He just did a disc with a Japanese female singer and it kinda goes off on some tangents that I don't think really work that well.

hi all, I bought Low Profile Darkness used, and not knowing much about Panacea other than an article i'd read in some Magazine at Tower Records. Yeah it's full of very hard, at times messy, d n' b progressions that took me aback at first, and i tend not to be able to listen to the whole thing. I know a lot of people far more "in the know" than me dislike his stuff and find it mindless, but sometimes i just WANT a bit of mindless aural violence...kinda like sometimes you just want a good hard fuck instead of a soft romantic one. Occassionally it just really hits the spot ;) -n

>> panacea is just one guy. well, he's enormously fat,

I used to think so - check out the isert into _Position Chrome Retrospective_ (PC 36 - 1999), it looks like he's seriously thinned out. Speaking of said comp, it's pretty good. Like all dNb comps it has its shortcomings, but is just angry enough to hold my (driving) interest. His release _Hanayo in Panacea_ (I believe) isn't all that bad. But it's not nearly as good as _Low Profile Darkness_. Anyway, his stuff is far superior to anything Nico, Trace, Fierce, and Ed Rush have put out. At least the tempo in some of Panacea's stuff changes, whilst the No-U-Turn crew stick with their abysmal 2step. J np: Ruf Neck Piano _Repaired Piano_ "No rose without a thorn.

CORRECTION: panacea is no longer enormously fat! he lost quite a bit of weight, you can see proof of this on the booklet with the P Chrome retrospective, nonetheless, if you like really harsh music then deffinitely pick it up, reminds me of my death metal days. d.jm.e.r.ck. ----- Original Message ----- From: wells <s0ewoliv@titan.vcu.edu> To: Moonlight <roesch@augsburg.edu>; <idm@hyperreal.org> Sent: Saturday, June 19, 1999 2:20 AM Subject: Re: (idm) Panacea?

no-one mentioned "twisted designz" yet! came out last year on The Music Cartel/force inc./position chrome. another mix of downtempo and DnB with some harsh ambience thrown in as well. "anti funk" is a track for all those that love his Low Profile Darkness album. and you can't go wrong with the menacing vocoder bassline of "hedonist remix". just don't let the awful album artwork scare you away. on the other hand: panacea vs. hanayo has a damn cool cover! tomas np: monolake - hongkong

i saw him play in NYC in mid april with dj spooky and he's not fat .... .... but that's not the point of me writing, i wanted to know why he was received so badly... he didn't play a *bad* set at all.... but there was just very little response, and at one stage he stopped playing and called out something unintelligible to most along the lines of 'what's the f***g problem?!' ....... was it a bad night, or does new york city (or the us?) just not get what he does??? definitely a lot of people dancing to his set were looking real conscious and awkward.... it wasn't till most had left and the 10 or so remaining were going hard out that things started feeling right (though empty).

Well, most of them were probably there for the headliner, that subliminal kid. So they probably didn't know exactly what to do with a techstep set; The New Yorkers who would've showed you what was up are the ones I saw one night last year at CBGB's slamming around to Alec Empire, Bomb 20, CDB and Merzbow at the DHR CMJ showcase. Fuck me, it was ridiculous. Most of the folks I've met at other shows in NY (e.g. the phoenicia show, with more live PA's than you can shake a stick at, last summer) are all far too absorbed in weed or other drugs and passing the word around about how cool so-and-so is to get down and dance. No slam on NYers, though, in my experience America is more or less the same all over with respect to dancing acumen at these sort of shows- I think it's the pants. Tom

it was just a very badly promoted event really... spooky never actually played even..but thats beside the point. it just wasnt really announced. cristian On Sun, 20 Jun 1999, Tom Millar wrote:
