nice to finally see some of my longtime label passions getting
IDMpress above and beyond my own persistant barking...
VIEWLEXX V7/1 - BEVERLY HILLS 808303/HOTT (2x7")
this is some seriously stripped down and dripping hard acid
pressed onto pastel blue and yellow 7". invites you to pop
it in your mouth all sweet colored looking, and rasps it's way
down your aural esophagus like a tablet of drano. dangerous.
VIEWLEXX V12/1 (TEST) I-f - Portrait of a dead girl (LP)
this I don't think ever made it out to label copy, as it was scooped
by disco b. the test featured cuts which did not make it onto the
disco b. label also, I would guess there's about 100 of them, blue
label with old star trek block letter font. i'm diggin around my own
files for a copy of reviews I have done ...
>>here's the disco-b version review which was in urb>>
I-F
Portrait of a Dead Girl 2
(Disko B/DE)
TECHNO
Those few with an ear to the sewer (read: one of 100 holding "the brown
elbow") know well that the sounds of the Hague have recently stepped
straight off the screen like a musical Purple Rose of Cairo. Disco B has
stolen from Hottmix Electro-nix a set of four superbly Sountrackian sewer
scene's complete with John Carpenteresque pads, a bit of wild style
analogue stabs, Time-Space-Trasmatic acidlines, shake down snares
and highly original pitch bend jam fills. (Teep)

VIEWLEXX V12/2- I-f vs JUNGIAN ARCHETYPE (LP/10")
The Testpilot. A 12" and translucent blue 10". Mostly minimal klonky
techno, not hard but not 'soft' shades of funk, shadows of darkness.
Having a damned time finding my copy of the urb review, sorry.
VIEWLEXX V12/3 (TEST)- THE BROWN ELBOW CONSPIRACY (LP)
The quintessential Viewlexx. Extraordinary cuts each of them.
This will be re-released and will certainly stir up interest as it seeps
out to dis-infect the masses...
The Brown Elbow Conspiracy - Viewlexx - V12/3 12"
HOTT shit, what else have you come to expect from the minds hunkered deep
within the Electro-nix HQ. The Brown Elbow elixir slides down into your
soul and Panzer-blitzes your appetite for the trademark taste of
fired up poly-rhythmic beat-boxes and, as it's been asserted, John
Carpenteresque pads. A bit of wild style analogue stabs loosen your
inhibitions and restore your affinity for Time-Space-Trasmatic acidlines.
Shake down snares hint toward a Landcrusian Craig Effort with a flash back
to the tools used on PSYCHE. Engaging moments are a plenty, especially
with forays into highly original pitch bend jam fills and supercool new
shades of POP muzik! Shoobie doobie do wop!
VIEWLEXX V12/4 - SPYSATELLITE (12")
and yeah, this was a super nice sampler...
V/A
Spysatellite
(Viewlexx/NL)
TECHNO
Cliche be damned, there IS something here for everybody and everybody IS
going to want some from the Viewlexx Vanguard. Pure's "Breakfast Session"
cooks up beatboxes and flips through sizzling paths of resistance. Ilsa
Gold's Kraftwerkian "Meine Garage" saunters into a post new wave
neighborhood. IMP/I-f weigh in with the heavyweight classic, "Cry" a gut
wrenchingly earnest emotionally gripping rendering et machina. Passarani
reminds us in a not so polite acidic tone that boys DON'T cry. (Teep)
VIEWLEXX V12/5 - ELECTRONOME (Forthcoming)
Haven't heard this yet, but given Electronome's propensity for great great
work, I anticipate ingestion.
Other highly recommended staffs...
MURDERCAPITAL M001 - I-f vs TN
INTERR-FERED communications HM 1202 - ELECTRONOME
INTERR-FERENCE communications HM 1203 - ELECTRONOME - No landscape
REFERENCE HM 12101 - INTERR-FERENCE - Return to Mos Eisley
REFERENCE HM 12103 - HOTT - Radiosilence
REFERENCE HM 12105 - JUNGIAN ARCHETYPE-Gravitonpolarisation
REFERENCE HM 12111 - V/A - The Chase
All of which are old enough and limited enough to put your hunting skills
to the test.
One of these days I'll mix up an "all acidplanet" type set and ask
permission to encode and release it for public consumtion.
Teep
