Speaking of Kreisels: Who is behind Kreisel 37 (or was it 39)? The one with gyroscope on the sleeve and label. It doesn't sound like Mike Ink... What other Kreisels are similar? I listened to couple of other kreisels but they sounded a bit dated (old school acid tracks), I guess those were by Mike Ink. some other records I have listened lately: Sturm: Gesten (Mille Plateaux) Yesterday I listened to this for the second time and it started to sound interesting unlike in the first time... very much like his brother's Gas project but without samples from classical records. Very minimal... no trebles at all... just kick and bass and not much else... Crank: Heftibag (Mille Plateaux) I really don't know what to think about this... are they serious or is this a joke... maybe both. This is some fuck jazz! Gotta listen to it once more... Rapaccioli EP / Split EP (Vertical Form) First two releases from a UK label. You can instantly hear which city they have derived their sound from... Rapaccioli tracks are very well produced club techno with strong CR influences... not the most original stuff but I like it. More clubby and more percussive than your usual CR stuff. Didn't like the b-side of split ep that much. Compared to Thule or Pure Plastic releases I like these more. Isolee: Beau mot plage (playhouse) Yes this is old, but I'm lucky that now I've got it. This is what I call progressive (with p not P) or avantgarde house!!! House music is saved! How is the new Isolee (I owe you)? Fluxion: Oblique (Chain Reaction) Very good pumping club techno (the oblique side). One of the best new chain reaction releases. Still I think they (the label) should start searching for new sounds and not just duplicate the old one. Hallucinator: Landlocked (Chain Reaction) Good album, although there were some tracks that didn't much to me, but "Red Angel" is a killer!!! Round One to Round Five: CD (Main Street) Compilation of main street tracks on one cd. Dubs work better for me than vocals tracks. Round Five is very much like their Rhythm & Sound material, deep slow dub with their trademark sound which I'll never get bored of! SWEEEEET! The dub (of round five) is edited heavily (I think the vinyl version is much longer). I'm a bit biased to say anything about these records, but anyway: Conoco: Kemikoski EP (Sigma Editions) This is probably his (Vladislav Delay) best 12" so far. Less ambient or more techno that ELE cd. Should be out this month or so. Vladislav Delay: forthcoming 12" (Chain Reaction) If you liked his ELE cd, you'll like this also. My favourites are A2 (deep ambient dub) and B2 (short, very mesmerizing track). His forthcoming CD 'Multila' on chain reaction will contain all tracks from his two CR vinyl releases, so if vinyl is not yer thang wait for the beginning of the next year... those who liked the ELE cd are obligated to get it (I wasn't paid for these comments... well not much anyway :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
