Insomniak. I cant sleep. Why not kill the time with
some reviews of some new shit I have got. And I wil take time to review
some stuff on labels I don't see mentioned on this list, I appreciate the
reviews that people due, but how about some more variety? Maybe something
more than just the Warp and Clear overload.
Underground Science-Electric Zoup- Lo Voltage Records
A division of Plink Plonk that puts out Detroit and minimalist
style techno.. I like the ones I have on this label so why not get some
more? I did I. The new one is called Underground Science and it is
pretty fucking underground. The main mix of Electric Zoup is a fast
freak cut, with some good animal sounding keyboards... In this bowl of
Zoup I hear some frogs and mosquitos, sounds pretty cool....the b side
has a two different dub mixes which sound like ambient head space music
for coctail lounges for the year 2027....similar to stuff I have heard on
Reflective records....top shit, one for the trippers and electronic druggies.
One for the electro beat freaks....(myself included)
Pollution Vol One-To Help You to Breath More Easily-Eidechse Records
Opens with a big swirling keyboard sound into a basic electro beat
complete with the ah ah (Egyptian Lover breathing type thing) than into a
303 piece with some nice electronic overlays...then breaks into a deep
choir voice type thing....this gets mixed around quite a bit in the
track....pretty nice cut, but this aint the raddest thing to land on our
planet, but a good one for those electro beat freeks...
U.S. Domestics
Nigel Richards-Funky Shit-611 records
one side has a familiar old funk riff that Meat Beat Manifesto samples on
their song Cutman off of Armed Audio Warfare, anyway this riff gets
played around with then joined by a 303, and some scratching and buzz
sounds with some drum rolls, and various goodies. Other side has two
more good cuts, the last cut on the 2 track side, having a nice keyboard
riff (sounds sorta like Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield) joined by some
hip hop beats at a 120ish tempo with some psuedo-jungle
breakdowns...Nice, you can call this funky techno or trip hop
or techno hop or you can call it music, i call it pretty nice shit and a
nice domestic price
Wicked Vibes-Commander Mindfucks Lysergic Testostorine Mix Rampant
Records 006
This one got my dollars due to the Mike Kandell remix. This dude
is on a mission of late, I have digged on all his shit since he adopted
the Commander Mindfuck handle. Anyway this is pretty fucked up shit,
some seriously fucked up samples and hyper distorto beats.. "Drugs
or God whats the difference,
some kids escape with drugs," says the fucked up voice.....Play this to
a crowd of drugged up kiddies and keep a couple dozen straight Jackets handy.
