ECTOMORPH: Dada 12" (INTERDIMENSIONAL
TRANSMISSIONS) $6.50
"Culled from their forthcoming full length album, this 12"
showcases rare concepts in electro these days: originality and
new directions. This is organic electronic musk hand made from
the finest synthetics. Ectomorph have materialized in many
forms since their 1995 debut release on IT, and continue to
document these progressions with their latest 12", DADA.
Ectomorph exist as an amplified id with the god of conjuring pure
forms of rhythm and sound. They have long functioned as a
collective with ever-changing members and nameless
contributors revolving around main conduit Brenden M. Gillen."
SILICON SCALLY: Mr Machine CD (SCSI) $15.75
SILICON SCALLY: Mr Machine 2LP (SCSI) $16.50 PRICE REDUCTION.
"2002 undoubtedly belongs to Carl Finlow;
after demolishing dancefloors with his tremendous Electrilogy
series for the Device label, reshuffling sizzling house for Sur
Muziq, building up the reputation of the 20/20 Vision label as
Random Factor, and battling it out with the Wee Deejays on their
ace Gassoline imprint--Mr. Finlow finally returns home to his
nearest and dearest label Scsi-Av. Having starved us for
quite some time of his Silicon Scally material, Finlow finally
delivers an album that will not only rank as the finest electro
record of the early noughties but will cement his reputation as
one of the most important exponents of new electro in the world
today; sitting alongside his Detroit compatriots in innovation,
precision, crunchiness, and bass devastation. Destined for huge
things, this is a seminal electro album from a living legend."
V/A : Musicsystem Electric 12" (MUSICSYSTEM) $19.50
'Having last been spotted with his 'Police Beatbox' release for
Patrick Pulsinger's ever-eccentric 'Cheap' label, August Engkilde
returns with thefirst release on his homegrown Musicsystem
Label. This is nothing short of hammering killer, a compilation of
truly different, original, anddownright inspirational electroid
tronix from the likes of Le Car (Ersatz Audio), Patrick Pulsinger,
Jeans Team, Engkilde himself and many others.Don't be fooled
into thinking this is just another electro comp, the material here
bares little comparison to the genre as we know it, finding
itself aniche somewhere between and beyond electropop
campishness and destroyed advanced new electro. Immense.'
V/A : Paws Across America CD (TIGERBEAT6) $10.75
"To commemorate its first label tour of the United States and
Canada, Tigerbeat6 presents a full-length compilation of all new
and exclusive tracks by the artists on the tour. That's two or three
tracks tracks each from Numbers, Cex, and Stars As Eyes, all of
whom who are doing the entire tour, and one track each from
other Tigerbeat6 artists playing at least once along the way.
Expect thrills and chills from Cex's folky, Neptunes-type
song and a track that can only be described as "industrial IDM
hiphop." Also included are the sweet and tuneful electronica of
Nudge, Electric Company, and Nathan Michel, and the absolutely
twisted, mind-numbing, beat-infused electronics of
Knifehandchop, Uprock and Zeigenbock Kopf.
A1 PEOPLE: The Yellow Album CD (HYDROGEN DUKEBOX) $17.25
A1 PEOPLE: The Yellow Album LP (HYDROGEN DUKEBOX). $17.25
"Mixing up the raw power of warped vintage keys with speaker
stressing basslines, soaring Numan-flavored synth melodies,
occasional noodles, vocoders a-plenty, and a few hypnotic
techno throws; The Yellow Album has more energy than a
Duracell full of angel dust. The tough, sweaty dance floor
grooves and dirty, fuzzed-up beatbox tricks give much of the
album a larger than large appeal; but crawl behind the bassbins
and you'll discover that on tracks like 'The Reason' and 'Freak',
A1 People also occasionally dip into rusty robot-style
melancholy. As a whole, this is a fierce and funky set that works
hands down as a cohesive album, but plunder few of the
heavier cuts and you've got yourself the kind of party starting
essentials that only the pulse-less could ignore."
HAWTIN & SVEN VATH, RICHIE: The Sound Of The Third
Season CD (MUTE) $16.99
"Ibiza has an extensive Europoan based club history which
existed long before Tong, Oakenfold and the like arrived on its
shores. There had been a unique glamour of Europoan-ness to
the island's club culture since the '70s which, by the late '90s,
had begun to be seriously threatened by British KIub
Korporations. In 2000, Frankfurt based Sven Väth made a crucial
decision to open a night at Ibiza's club Amnesia, utilizing the
exclusive talent signed to his Cocoon booking agency. The club
night, called Cocoon, featured a stellar array of pan-global DJs
and live acts, and was founded upon Vath's musical policy of
quality techno and house music. The Sound of the Third Season
features both Hawtin and Vath in the mix together showcasing
the top drawer tunes from the 2002 season at Cocoon in Ibiza.
Included in the mix are conversations, sound effects, and
atmospheres from the club night, capturing the excitement and
euphoria of actually being at the club. In effect, the WORKS! With
a 2002 season that has featured Vath, Hawtin, Josh Wink, Funk
D'Void, DJ Hell, Green Velvet, Marco Carola, Ricardo Villalobos,
John Acquaviva, and more, Cocoon has proved itself as THE
club for quality music on Ibiza."
PLANETARY ASSAULT SYSTEMS: Archives 2 CD (PEACEFROG) $16.50
PLANETARY ASSAULT SYSTEMS: Archives 2 2LP (PEACEFROG) $17.99
"Archives Two is the fifth Planetary Assault Systems album for
Peacefrog, and follows in the footsteps of Archives One, by
bringing you more of those classic Luke Slater rarities under his
popular & clubby Planetary Assault System guise The early
Planetary 12"s contained on this new double pack & CD
have been unavailable for a few years & have hence been
changing hands on Ebay for mucho dollar. This is also the first
time many of these tracks have appeared on CD. So, if you're
unaware of the Planetary style of funked up minimal house &
techno grooves or just missed them first time round, then
this is a must introduction to one of the UK's most respected &
pioneering techno outfits."
