CHESSIE [ Overnight (Plug Research) ]
Begun in 1993 as the project of Stephen Gardner from Arlington, VA,
Chessie explores the physical, emotional, and aesthetic aspects of
railways through sound. Gardner, who has worked for and traveled
extensively on railways, processes his railroad experiences through
various Electro-acoustic production methods including analog tape
techniques, acoustic instruments, and sequencer-less recordings.
Following two full length LP/CD's (Drop Beat's 1997's "Signal Series"
and 1999's "Meet") and various singles, Gardner was joined full-time
by Ben Bailes, a sound engineer and producer based in New York City,
who has been listening intently to the world around him for as long
as he can remember. The two started collaborating in 1998 while
Gardner was recording "Meet", and came to enjoy working as a duo. In
the summer of 2000, Gardner and Bailes began writing and recording
"Overnight", a new LP/CD that features 9 compositions dedicated to
railways and train travel throughout the night.

TIMEBLIND [ Rugged Redemption (Orthlorng Musork) ]
Equal parts mad scientist and booty banger, Chris Sattinger
(Timeblind) has made all kinds of music. Classically trained (and
self-untrained), a licensed jazz saxophonist, and a veteran techno dj
and producer, there's little left to do but disassemble it all...
Rugged Redemption (Orthlorng Musork 2001) drops dub, pure techno and
free jazz as its earthly reference points, varying from
seriously-abstract hip-hop to sonic puddles of DSP haze. Early
releases ranged from dysfunctional hardcore, ethereal breaks (as
Mothering Noise 1994 on Instinct), to hybrids like dub-analog-
breakcore (1995 Infidelity) and banging abstract techno (Richie
Hawtin's Probe, Communique, Synewave, Kanzleramt). He has played live
with Richie Hawtin, Sven Vath, Joey Beltram and basically everybody
else in techno.
"One of the year's best--and most startling--records." - XLR8R
"Showing complete irreverence for all the styles of music this record
slyly alludes to, Sattinger succeeds in pushing the edge of
current electronic muisc without falling into any kind of genre trap." -
kid606
"... Sattinger carries it out with skill, in the process coming up
with a record that sounds unlike anything else." - THE WIRE

VELOCETTE [ changes in the rhythm of life (Parallel) ]
velocette (aka jason williams) returns to album mode with "changes in
the rhythm of life", the follow up to '96's sonorities by starlight
on reflective records, jonah sharp's seminal san francisco label.
this outing continues along the path of his previous releases on his
own parallel records, but pushes further afield. elements of techno,
electro, ambient & house coalesce into a structure that has been
called 'difficult to categorize,' 'moody' & 'melodic,' as well as
'deep as fuck' & 'ass-kicking.' after releasing 3 EPs (microcosmik,
clockworks, voda) & the sonorities LP on reflective, williams started
parallel in 1997, with the release of the auto da f? EP (from which
two tracks were heard in iara lee's film Modulations.) in addition to
3 more velocette EP's (airtight, memories for the future, RE),
parallel has released williams' collaborations with jonah sharp, &
with kit clayton under the name I-Liner (which was given 5 stars by
muzik magazine) as well as EPs by clayton & chris sattinger aka keek.
fall 2000 saw the release of idiosyncratic expressions, a parallel
compilation.
"...his melodic hemisphere...is inhabited by few contemporaries,
particularly in the US...meticulously crafted
freaky-alien-techno-love-
jams"- URB
