yo
could you guys stop it with the "best of 1999" lists already
i mean, there's a whole month left
loads of good stuff gets released around this time of year
only this week i've gotten hold of more good record than the rest of
the year put together (slight exaggeration)
here's some first impressions:
various "osmosis" (leaf)
beatiful electronic listening music from artists like
gripper, susumu yokota, 310, a small good thing. and some
hard-on-the-ear stuff, too. but hey, it's well worth the money
(cheap).
stigh strandh vs rutherford "maskinell sex utan skydd" (tsunami)
slow breakbeaty acid - think hardfloor's first
dadamnphreaknoizphunk ep, but played live for 70 mins. really good
(mechanical sex without protection).
alpha omega "journey to the 9th level" (reinforced)
good, varied drum'n'bass - some slammin tracks and some chill
out music.
freQ.Nasty "freQ's, gerKs mutilaTions" (botchit & scarper)
oldskool hiphop, cut-up, electro meets new sounds. a few
brilliant (fun) tracks. some interesting vocals on this one.
capitol K "sounds of the empire" (planet mu)
a bit hard to define after just one listen, but i remember it
being the best planet mu release i've heard (which maybe isn't saying
that much). well, it was something like the electronic fuckery you'd
expect from planet mu, but better.
aux88/various "aux 88 presents electro boogie" (!k7)
not a big aux88 fan, this is still a great electro
compilation. 'course, that many kraftwerk samples at the start of the
record is a bit dodgy, isn't it? but i seem to remember dave clarke
doing a better job.
and soon the isan album on morr music is coming out, too. so it's a
bit early to submit the best of lists already, isn't it?
