How come no one has mentioned the new J. Saul Kane blue 12" on electron? Nor the translucent red hot 2x12" by Sem? Teep

>I just got this today but haven't listened to it yet.

my copy is 'on now' and "i got that feelin'" the octagon man (electron - tron6) phonic maze/the rimm The phonic maze is a storming and well off the wall hyped up stylus scraping J. Saul funky mash up drum and bass flavored jam which is thankfully made in "his own" style (not some washy attempt to front) with a warm acid line and klonky dragons tail tempo. Cant wait to hear it at max volume. Kane rules. Wheelup. The rimm strikes out into a funky knife sharpening odd ball octonic distorto chord slice of trance funk. Again, not something you play end to end so much as you drop in and drop jaws with. There's great lateral movement percussion (the stuff that makes you shake your butt) and as well engaging themes for the dancefloor going the distance. All the while delightfully weird. Hang tight for the locked groove on the end of this side. Teep PS: Big brutal 12" here...can't wait to sink my teeth into the sem 2x12" which I saw for something like $12.99 so make sure nobody rips you off cause it sure looks damn fancy in it's jointed plastic sleeve (which comes packked with a sticker insert.) aran parillo | PO box 581 | cambridge ma | 02142 | usa | aran@mit.edu

Yeah, the Sem 2x12" is way cool - I was actually a bit more partial to it than the J. Saul 12", even though that's phat too. ;) The Sem package is very similar to the first Sem 12" on Electron Industries, with extremely clean, well-produced beats and ominous string washes. All four tracks are variations on the same theme, but they all work nicely and are *very* reminiscent of the work of a certain techno-bass crew from the D.... ;) - Matthew

There are probably slight Drexciyan elements, I suppose, but Sem's production doesn't have any of that Deep Sea Dwelling grit. ;) It's too clean for that. I was actually thinking more along the lines of an AUX 88/DJ K-1 flavor. ;) - Matthew

SEM's 1st Electron 12" was gritty enough to strike up the Drexciya similarity thread, but indeed the new 2x12" cuts are cleaner and grit free. I think that's why in my ears, they sounded *better* then the 1st 12". Teep
