Boy o Boy!
Whoever send Generation Star Wars by Alec Empire was mindblowing was not
pulling anyones chain....Holy Shit....I have it cranked in the headphones
right now....Shit...This track is fucking wikked beyond belief it is the
last one on the R2d2 side...this is the aural equivalant of being
sodomized by an alien while captured on a enemy space ship, while on
about hmmmm, ten grahams of magic mushrooms...A few of these tracks have
sounds coming out from every possible dimension....many are almost too
similar to the work of U-ziq and Aphex Twin, but if your are going to
emulate someone that is an excellent place to start. Pretty Fucking Amazing.
Black Knight-Moody Balance E.p.-Source Records
4 tracker written by Robert Gordon, the guy behind some of the best "bleep"
records of the past (Xon, Forgemasters, Dj Mink....) this is sort of
abstract techno with bleeps....not the sort of thing that jumps out at
you at first listen but very good none the less...lots of low frequencies
and lots of bass, one track has that repetitive sort of electro rythym that
makes me like to move (think of Gak or Nightmares on Wax-Dexterous)
Bam Bam-Best of Westbrook Classics-Tresor
Bam Bam released a twelve inch called Space Trax about 10 months ago
that proves this guy is still around, he just happened to have his prime
back in the early days, Space Trax kinda sucked, this compilation is
pretty killer. It is an 8 track compilation of rereleases of some classic
Acid records
from 1988-1990...Includes the highly sought after Where's Youre Child and
Make You Scream....Good acid shit here, and harder than shit to find the
original twelve inches nowdays. And by the way it sounds real nice, not
like a lot of compilations, this has two tracks per side which could be
mixed loud and still sound great.
R-Zac 23-Base Support-Drop Bass Network
New from the Spiral Tribe, who incidently are supposed to be in/going
to Milwaukie Wisonsin for a couple of months...This is some really fast
(can be pitched down thank you) LOOPY heady trippy hardcore tribal acid
breakbeat (jungle) trance....4 songs all really long and really worth the
whole
length of the vinyl....with a lot of different rythyms going at once....If
all "Harder Techno" was this good, I could very
easily see myself doing something that a hardcore techno freak would do.
Tusken Raiders-Bantha Trax-Clear
Hey what can I say I like it! IMHO much better than Jedi
Knights...much more original and inventive sounding....true as others
said a few of the tracks are to damn short.....The human beatbox track
has a good idea but the guy cant beatbox for shit...How about hiring the
guy from the Fat Boys for the next attempt, I would love to hear some
more human beatbox in techno tracks....A Rit-ta-tit-a-ritta-tita-tit
