I'll take John C's spotlight for a few reviews...
I know I've picked up four new Dan Curtin releases in the
past few weeks and love them all. The releases: The Chase
12" (Multiplexor), Purveyors of Fine Funk, Vol 3 12"
(Peacefrog), Art & Science CD (Peacefrog), Deception CD
(Sublime-Japan) are all top quality.
My favorite is the Deception CD. Top-notch d-flavored
jazzy techno with just a hint of house (as most of Dan's
releases are). The Deception CD also has some excellent
remixes included by the likes of K-Hand and Ken Ishii.
The Art & Science CD adds a little stronger taste of house
on a few cuts giving it an almost hard house kind of feel.
Tracks like Airport Martini, A23, and especially One
Evening at Mrs. Applebee's (Purveyors of Fine Funk mix)
would fit in nicely in a set along side Ian Pooley,
Christian Vogel, and Paul Johnson.
The two of Dan's 12"s I picked up are split between styles.
The Chase is more d-flavored jazzy techno whereas the
Purveyors of Fine Funk, Vol 3 12" is very housey. The Chase
can be conpared to Dan's Parallel 12" a few years ago. If
you like that 12" you'll love this one. I haven't been able
to find the other Purveyor 12"s so I don't know house this
one compares to the others, but I like it nonetheless.
So if you're a Dan Curtin fan, you've got some buying to
do. :)
BTW: I think that the Deception CD on Sublime-Japan is
going to be re-released in the UK and/or US with additional
tracks. So trainspotters be aware...
