>>surely the worst track to appear on warp since the days of coco steel and >>lovebomb >i won't have this dissin' coco steel & lovebomb... no seriously, as far as >house at the time, it was pretty smooth. i also liked their ambient "field >recording" type stuff. you're right, i just meant that period.. at the time i rote i couldn't actually remember the names 'tuff little unit' and 'the step' >of course the last warp thing i even kinda liked was that phonecia thing. >if it wasn't for autechre (and just barely) and the upcoming two lone >swordsmen, i would totally write them off. not an aphex fan then? >i thought that max tundra thing was crap. yeah, me too. brain enters sleep mode after about 10% of the track. sounds like freeform >of course, by now i've had it up >to *here* with distortion wankery. what, it's no good unless yer damaging >yer gear? oh, i forgot, headache inducing distortion now comes as a mac >plug-in... controversial..... we're entering a new era of distortion, much more intense than weedy analogue rubbish - 700dB eq sounds great early in the morning distortion has its place, but it's not often used well. people just layer distortion onto everything and *then* it sounds wank - there should be distortion sounds and lovely clean sounds like annie singing something from her film >besides, everyone knows warp's worst moment was "devestating beat creator" >(most of you are too young to have a clue of which i speak...) i wouldn't say so.. blime it's years since i heard that. personally i really dig a lot of stuff from the 'golden age' of jungle.. i'm currently discovering loads of gems from the reinforced back catalogue - 4 hero's 92-94 eps are the business! unfortunately they cost a fortune to track down these days. <waves> np - g. bryars - raising the titanic the airfix mix
