I've been on idm for a while & read a lot about Depth Charge / J Saul Kane /
Octagon Man. I was wondering if someone could recommend a release I should
pick up. It sounds like the man has done stuff in several different styles -
I've heard that "Nine Deadly Venom" (is that right?) is more sample-heavy and
hiphop, while Octagon Man singles are more electro and less samples. Which
release would be a good intro to DC stuff? Just to indicate my tastes, I liked
his Sabres remixes, and would be more partial to any of his stuff that's
closer to the Chem Bros than Drexciya, if that makes sense in terms of his
music. Since it's an oft-mentioned topic here (Depth Charge, that is) please
feel free to write me directly.
I think I've built up a decent electronic music collection, starting with the
original R&S "Accelerator", but there are some artists that I haven't gotten
around to, like DC and (darn, what was his name) the man behind Sandoz/Cabaret
Voltaire. (I can just imagine some people rolling their eyes right now :) Or
Drexciya and Aux88, who I finally got to hear through the nice comp Origins of
a Sound. I figure, there's no better to place to ask about all their music
than here ;)
