And I normally like Mark Broom and Steve Pickton, but they haven't impressed me in a little while. I do think that the Paul W Teebrooke cd was top notch!!

Most of the Theory releases I have heard have been pretty good, but I haven't been buying very much minimal lately. Speaking of minimal, have Cari Lekebusch and Adam Beyer lost something. Cari Lekebusch was the putting out some great releases last year! For a while I was buying everything that he released, but the last five or so releases I thought have been pretty blah or just ok. He was a really good as a dj, when I saw him a few months ago! The last Oliver Ho was shite! He use to do some pretty interesting records. I have to give both Surgeon and James Ruskin props on both of their new lp. Both quality minimal releases. > Ben Sims tries DBX but its pretty laughable - the > other two tracks are this weird, zappy drum workout > and a paced-down techno track that samples Infiniti's _Game One_. Okay but not astounding. np - Jeff Mills - Step to Enchantment (MECCA ep) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
