Went outside today and picked up the DJ Disk, DJ Faust, O'Rouke's Bad Timing and FM Einheit's Prometheus - Lear. Have to back up the above positive review of DJ Disk. The review is right on. Not nearly as much hip-hop / funky beats as its much more a sound collage of sounds / scratches and wacked cut-ups. If Negativland were a collection of hip-hop DJs and didn't have a 'target' in mind, they might just come up with something like this. If you're expecting a Coldcut, DJ Food, or even Mix Master Mike like release, buyer beware. This blows them all out of the water on the experimental scale. Intitial thoughts on the DJ Faust which someone (Rodney?) recommended follow suit (or perhaps the DJ Disk did, as the DJ Faust came first). More mixed up, scratched up, seemingly patched together collages of sound which are connected by scattered hip-hop beats. Excellent material. Again, buyer beware. Both these releases remind me much more of the Shortkut vs Cut Chemist release on Future Primative than anything else. There were bits throughout that release which were completely unlistenable to avid hip-hop fans (I work with a number of people who were raised on hip-hop/rap/electro and they find the experimentation with the turntable to be complete shit... oh well...) Haven't heard the O'Rourke or FM Einheit yet, although I'm dying to hear both... maybe a word or two about them to follow (although both releases have been out for a while and the FM Einheit might not be of interest here) brap@sonic.net[icq: 12645306] http://www.sonic.net/~brap/ sfwd prod | noisesoundnoise chris g. 1547 boston court #7, santa rosa, ca 95405

Well why don't you return the two "sealed" copies of Gescom for what you paid. (Most any store will take a return of unopened items...) Better question is why do you have two of 'em anyway? Plus does playing 30 seconds of something tell you how it is? JJTar...who played the whole Boards of Canada release that everyone raved about, thought it utter dulldroms, but didn't throw a rant as a result. Just remembered to avoid them and artists compared to them in the future. On an unrelated topic...the new DJ Disk is super good. Some cut-up hip hop-esque tracks, but mainly textures and soundscapes. Much more interesting than any of the previous DJ releases that have recently flooded the market.
