Speaking of Mu, the Forces comp is pretty lovely. Overall a very playfully
passionate, exotically attractive, and oddly appealing beast. you can tell
this camp is overflowing with talent and are dedicated to creating something
new while maintaining a sense of humor. (similar in tone to TigerBeat6
comp)
of particular note are (and if anyone could recommend any other titles by
these artists i'm interested):
Capitol K
-i realize this 'posh mix' may be somewhat abnormal for him, but this
track is absolutely outstanding. starts with a vocal/guitar jingle and ends
in an old euro club. so cheesy and sweet and lovely and it made my dad
dance in the kitchen!
Leafcutter JOhn
-a lonesome beauty this one is. combining slide guitar, fem vocals, and
an anthemic chorus, makes my heart stop beating. recommendations please!
o9
-an ode to the classic mu-ziq/earlyrephlex sound. so simple and
beautiful. really just a simple melody and a sliding hip-hop beat,
addictive. I know he's released some 12"s, but i don't believe any LPs...
but i do know he's got an exlusive track on a comp i put together that i'll
sell you cheap (shameless... whatever):

BitMeddler/RudeAssTinker
towards the end of the second disk we are treated the two most astoundingly
funny remix projects in the galaxy. BitM slaps together every shameless
party track from the early 90s and RudeT does a dirty number on McHammer's
That's Why We Pray. i played these for my friends who absolutely hate
electronic music and had them on the floor. there were certain sections of
the RudeTinker they kept rewinding and playing and screaming... BitMeddler
will be playing record camp with Hrvatski Dec 6th... and his upcoming
CoreDump release sounds wicked.
and there are lots of others worth mentioning (nautilus, tetlow, decal) but
thats enough now...
