just received the "new beginnings" single (internal) and Switchcraft's "The Wave" on Abstract Dance (props to guerilla g!). These singles are impressive -- but some would disagree. The Advent's "sound" is present on all of their releases, and some DJ's probably dislike the so called monotony in this trademark sound. I, on the other hand, have grown fond of the Advent's trademark sound and like the singles very much -- point being, for anyone who likes minimal, hard edged, driving techno/sometimes elecktro beats, invest in some material by the advent. You won't be disappointed. if you are a fan of: surgeon Jeff Mills Robert Hood Detroit Elecktro UR then the Advent/Switchcraft are for you. Sorry if they are too popular for me to be hyping them this much. I'm not sure how people feel about them, so I decided to give some information on the subject. Hope you enjoy! _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- J A M E S B E N J A M I N G I L L U N F O R T U N A T E L Y L I V I N G I N A R I Z O N A J G I L L @ U . A R I Z O N A .

I'm not really a big Advent fan at all, but Switch Craft's _The Wave/Ventad_ 12" on Abstrakt Dance really impressed the hell outta me. The mammoth, reverbed, Advent-y drum action is in full effect, of course, but is augmented by sparse, moody synths on "The Wave" and a smooth, warm chords on "Ventad." Solid, beautifully produced techno music from McBean and Ferreira. - Matthew OnNow-->Kraftwerk: It's More Fun To Compute
