This is Fun! A Night of Sex and Potatoes. Electronic oddities at The Swank, Fort Worth. 4.30.97 DJ Millard Fillmore presiding at midnight to entertain and arouse. Wagon Christ - All My Fingers (Freaks Mix) As One - New Wave Boymerang - Still Hidden Agenda - Rouge Soul Woodenspoon - Souff Souff Dark Comedy - Plankton AFX - AFX 2 Sympletic - Flu Man Spacetime Continuum - Kairo (Carl Craig RMX) As One - We No Longer Understand Move D Meets Ro70 - Untitled Aphex Twin - Goon Gumpos Schematic - Untitled Req - Bell Ambient Hab - Peekabo (Journeyman RMX) Kruder and Dorfmeister - Original Bedroom Rockers DJ Krush - Fucked Up Pendulum Natural Essence - Injury Req - Fantasy Roc Boards of Canada - Turquoise Hexagon Sun Gescom - Mag Fusion - Dirty Kay Friend - Eight Ball Hidden Agenda - Swingtime Spacetime Continuum - Kairo (Subtropic Absolut Black RMX) Went all over on this one. Crowd favorites : Boymerang, AFX, Sympletic, K+D, Fusion. Odd stares : Woodenspoon, Schematic, Req. DAMN CARL CRAIG! Intro to his Kairo Remix was so long, that there was a good minute of beatlessness after _Flu Man_ had ended. Argh. I'll never do that again. I wore my [recently discovered] Aphex Twin mask during the AFX track. Got a few laughs out of that. DOT tracks rule. Thank you PJ. Hab remix especially. Do yourself a favor and track down the new Dark Comedy material from Kenny Larkin. Some of the best Detroit techno since, well, since his last album. Anybody know anything about Schematic? I picked up a 4 track EP yesterday. Nothing on the sleve save for silver paint; nothing on the label except silver paint. Really odd, abstract electro bleeping and burping. I'd like to know more. New Orleans residents - prepare yourselves for a weekly This is Fun! event at an unnamed venue on Decatur St this summer! grant.h.horne

I agree. just picked up Dark Comedy 'Seven Days' last week along with the new Carl Craig and new Kirk Degiorgio. Those 3 discs have been in my player since. Classic Detroit sounds to say the least. The Kenny Larkin is very sparse and darker compared to his last 2 albums. Still very surgical, very clean production, definite mesmerizing minimal 4/4 techno mind candy. The Carl Craig is a pure trip. Those of you who disliked 'Landcrusising' for being 'retro' will probably not like this but those of you who dig Carl's drawn out strings and solid beats when needed will love this album. A little more emotional and moving toward eclecticism than previous dnace happy output, but don't worry there's plennty here to get you feet moving. A very beautiful no frills album. Kirk Detroitio's 'Art of Prophecy' was talked about a little bit awhile back on the list (very positivley I recall) and I must say it does not disappoint. I'm surprised his name does not come up more often here. Almost everything I have heard from him is solid; about the only thing he could be guilty of is trying to sound like Detroit (whatever). Art of Prophecy is much denser in production than the CC or KL, but it is jam packed with IDM goodness. I would say it's a mix between Ken Ishi's Jelly Tones and B12's Time Tourist. Lots of killer beats, lots of strong melodies and odd mechanical noises, some ambience this album is all over the place. There's even a soothing drumnbass track that's so damn laid back and hip it blows any LTJ style ambient dnb out of the water. To top it off the night I picked these dics up I saw Juan Atkins spin in the warehouse district in Detroit. I'm still trying to come down from my Motor City bliss...

thanks to those of you who helped me find the schematic stuff. i received metic, push button objects, and jeswa yesterday. they are all really cool. i'll try to collect my impressions and post reviews soon, to convince all of you (who don't already have them) to find them. i also want to mention the stores that had them, as i was impressed with the service i got. synaptic records in denver answered my plead for help and sent out shema 01 and 04 the day i called them. bent crayon in cleveland (recommended by a listmember) was also prompt. they had shema 03 and also the gescom motor ep in stock, and got them to me in three days. check out: www.eazy.net/synaptic-records/ phone:(303)722-9428 www.bentcrayon.com phone:(216)221-9200 matt np: nonplace urban field - raum fur notizen

saw the schematic boys at a little shindig in NYC last night at an interesting little apartment in midtown.. when I got there lloop was creating some thick ambience and throwing hip hop and d&b over it.. very chill. if you've seen _we_ you know what this sounds like.. next metic came on and if you've heard _matrix blaster_ or _sixto novotone_ you know the deal. real harsh tweaked beats, bleeps, and bloops. this stuff is raw. khan spun a nice house set, and the phoenecia/soul oddity came on and got robotic on my ass. to me, these guys sound like kraftwerk discovering hip hop. sick grooves and textures.. i recognized some _randa roomet_ trax. the other material they performed was incredible and i hope they release something else soon. i left after this so I did not get a chance to catch the jeswa live PA, but I did get a chance to speak to Josh Kay and tell him of his importance in American electronic music. he was very pleased and an extremely nice guy. -mc

"Importance in electronic music"? Oi, that Soul Oddity album is horrible compared to the music Josh Kay did BEFORE he moved to Florida. Of course, that music isn't very "I".

Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone have a contact info for any of the Schematics folks? The address schema@gate.net" seems to be down. Thanks, Phil
