I picked up this CD on Clear (CLR430CD) knowing nothing about As One or
Clear other than having heard the name "As One" bandied about on this
list on occasion. I got it for $12.99 in lovely San Frandisco. I
usually make it a point to buy at least one mystery CD that people seem
to be talking about when i go shopping, and last trip to R.R., this was
it... Last one I bought was SKAMpler, which I don't like nearly as much
as this one, except for maybe about 4 trax on it. The rest sounded like
video game music.
Bottom line w/r/t "in with their arps and moogs and jazz and thins" --
I like it, probably a lot more than many other "idm" benighted releases
I've bought. I've usually found that the more "intelligent" the music
is, the less I like it.... I mostly like unintelligent dance music
(e.g. chicago house ala Derreck Carter or Mark Grant) because, after
all, it's my butt, not my brain, that dances.
Anyways, I was wondering how does this release compare w/ other "As
One" releases. Do they have this kinda sound? Are they better, worse,
different? I like this sound.
And who the hell is Kirk Degiorgio. I can swear i've heard that name
before in some other context that I can no longer remember.
Thanx.
PS: I found this in a net search offa

Artist: AS ONE
Title: in with their arps, and moogs, and jazz and things.
Label: CLEAR (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog Number: CLR 430 CD
As One is Kirk Degiorgio . He ran the A.R.T. (Applied Rhythmic
Technology) label, more recently superceded by by OP-ART. He has also
recorded as Future/Past & Esoterik, on labels such as R+S and New
Electronica, including an appearance on Planet E's Intergalactic Beats
compilation. In a similar vein to Black Dog productions or Carl Craig,
Degiorgio makes the intensely organic machine music of the highest
order, with lush jazzified keyboards floating across streaming
bottom-loaded techno basslines. This is a CD version of the previous
double-EP vinyl release The Message in Herbie's Shirt with an extra
track, and follows Celestial Soul (New Electronica) as the 2nd As One
album. An extremely high caliber production.
