Just heard a new compilation of Plus 8,Definitive and probe labels :
netWORKS.1 on intelliNET !K7035cd
1. Speedy J - Something for your mind
2. PLastikman - Spaz
3. F.U.S.E - Into the space
4. Speedy J - Spikkels
5. Ian Pooley - The brunkenkopt at 7am
6. UTU - Samsara
7. Plastikman - Electriks
8. Robotman - DoodaDoo(plastikman rmx)
9. V-room G-hertz
10. Hazed - bells
11. UP! - Nightflight
Tracks 2,3,7,8,11 composed by by Ritchie Hawtin,and 1 & 4 by speedy J
are of their usually high standard and I wont atempt to redefine their
styles
Ian Pooleys track is of Speedy J qualities -mellow but addictive dance
groove with squelchy melodic acid.
UTU - 4/4 Kickdrum with screw with your head low to high frequency bleeps.
Robotman - This plastiK man comes up with another classic remix (i'm a
fan after TG performance and alphawave remix).
V-room bring New Order influences of Confusion - Power Corruption & Lies
and Brotherhood eras ie electro right up to date.
Hazed - Build up layered beats from ambient to techno to get a bit funky
and then tribal, with a bit of acid for good measure. This track just
keeps on movin.
Disclaimer: this is not a Review because I do not claim to have the
relevant experience etc but IMHO this is good comp, and I would class as
quality IDM.
