I was in there on Saturday and I bought 'em both. Killer stuff. Super intricate breaks, constantly changing, mixed in with wierd noises zinging off all over the place and of course Mike choons on top. Snap these ones up kids. Other notable purchases on the Saturday record buying mission: Both Skam Gescom EP's: finally found these two in Rough Trade - you all know what they're like - I only mention it to say never give up hope, those limited editions always show up when you least expect it. Derrick Carter vs Skylab - the trip. Nice tunefull upbeat acid house music. Erm I thought skylab was something to do with Howie B. right? No mention of him on the label, And the music doesn't sound like the skylab I know at all. Maybe a different Skylab? Bochum Welt - Module 2 - Nice one, If you like Cylobian sunset this one will go down swimmingly. Harold Budd/Hector Zazou Glyph remixes - Good mixture of an EP. Herbert weighs in with more sweet House music in his own magic style. Solid Doctor chills out with some relaxed trip hop, and someone else who I can't remember does the business with the jungle remix. (An aside, I can't believe the Jungle bunny explanation for the name - the UK rave scene is not racist and considering all the orignal junglists were black it doesn't seem very likely. Anyway I always thought the the name came from a part of Kingston Jamaica, as in "Alla junglists..." ragga sample in early tunes.) Clear - Beatsomatic - Less tune, more DJ toolz than the other two clear beats records. Nice breaks though good for mixing and matching. Annoying cover though - that little C gets torn off the first time I try to put the record in the shelf. As if by magic, Andrew C. appeared.
