Whew.........
Mr Upton, or should I just say LMG for short(Loose McCannon) for short.
Thanks, can you supply the dates, just a general era would suffice.
Thats loads of material there fella, hmmmmm. I better consult my superiors
on this one. Thanks for contributing, thats how I can expand my collection.
Not the quanity but the quality. Now that I think about it, those young
artist probably try hard to create something explosive(something brilliant
or good) so that there name or efforts can be successful in the ever growing
market of IDM, just a thought.
As this Aspen tears through these speakers, are these cats/guys--see
Ernie--, Aspen, vets.(Veterans, one who has been in the industry for a long
time).....Damn, all this operationalizing these concepts is giving me carpel
tunnel.....Thanks Again Michael.........
Hk!

Alrighty, well for other fine bits and pieces from New Zealand, since
you're
checking Aspen, I'd recommend the following:
Anything on the label Nurture. Nurture release sparse tech stuff, with a
pre-requisite that there's one "broken beats" track on every 12". All
very
nice, my fave being the first Peak:shift release. All are into that old
Detroit thing, with some nods to dubby minimal stuff. Still nice bright
synth
sounds and all that stuff that people interpret as soul.
There have been 4 releases I know of, but I forget the exact names. Call
me
Loose McCannon :-)
1 - Peak:shift - <something> 12"
2 - Clone - Mist 12"
3 - Peak:shift - <something> 12" (includes Peak:shift remix of Aspen's
'Wedding Song' off 'Album')
4 - Micronism - <something> 12"
The Micronism tracks are also on CD, released on Kog Transmissions.
Definitely
my favourite New Zealand release, it's called 'In A Quiet Mind'.
Micronism is
one of the aliases of Denver McCarthy, who you can also check out on the
excellent Statra comp that got a bit of raving on this list a month or
so
back. Statra itself is a label started by an ex-pat Kiwi (ie. New
Zealander -
and it's a kind of bird, not a fruit :-) called Harry the Bastard.
I have the artists' email addresses, so I could pass on any interest to
them.
Otherwise, check the Kog web site,
http://www.kog.co.nz/ and check out
Aspen's
techno alias Signer. Interested to hear this one myself, since some of
it
sounded kinda far from Aspen material!!
I'm also a big fan of an old act called Unitone Hi-fi, who were a dub
act
released on German-run (another ex-pat Kiwi really :-) label Incoming!
but
took the dub concept a bit further than most of the "new school"...
incorporating hip-hop electro and house in a way that sounded good, and
always
avoided getting all plodding and coffee table like most modern dub
(IMO).
Probably not one for Kelley, but plenty of others here would probably
like
them. May well be known for their remix album with Funky Porcini,
Muslimgauze,
Spectre etc. but their crowning jewel was their next (and last) album
'Boomshot'.
