Thumping crunchy funky detroit techno is the answer. Serious hard grooves crafted out of metallic noises, stormin dancefloor material but imbued with subtlety. He also makes the occasional twisted beauty of a near-ambient track. Check out his recent "Live at the Liquid Room - Tokyo" CD for a considerable selection of his tracks, with others of a similar nature, all brought together by the man himself in an excellent example of the art of live mixing. High-Octane stuff! J ^ I say Jeff Mills playing at "Strutt" in north London about two weeks ago. It\ was a shit-hot night. I'm not generally into techno all that much but this was such a cracking night out I'm planning to buy some new US techno at the weekend. Respect to Jeff Mills. John's Tack.

Not about the Sony Japan version specifically.... Silly question, but never having heard anything by Mr. Mills, is this worth getting as a starting point? I see it around a lot and keep pondering about picking it up. -i. np : Download - III

It's OK, but I'm a lot more excited about the "Live from Liquid Room" CD which is him DJ'ing...and of course the Purpose Maker series on vinyl.

It's as good a place as any :-) I'd also advise getting "Live at the Liquid Rooms" if you can find it. Some of the other Mills stuff is a little less easy to find, like the older "Waveform Transmissions" series et al. - Greg

if you have never heard anything by Jeff Mills, you need to. he is quite important in the heritage and lineage of this music we love (as well as being a white hot DJ). if you are coming in to mills from the IDM side, "Another Day" is a great crossover point, as most of the tracks are less hardened than some of his more minimal things designed expressly for the dance floor. Another Day is in my top 5 for 97. any of the purpose maker releases are also ace. peeeeeeeeeeeece NP: funkstorung: funkenstille Jeff Davis <pHlow> ____--~~~~~~vvvv~~~~ oooo812.831.7846 jjdavis@xnet.com____---- ( ( ( vvvv ~~~~~~ooooooooooooo ___----( ( \ \ \ \ \ vvv ooooooooooooooooooo ____---- ( \ \ \ \ \ \ \ http://www.xnet.com/~jjdavis/
