Various Artists - "Too Many Clowns (not enough jokers)" (Throw) Nice domestic 12" from the City 313 on orange vinyl. This record is pressed pretty uniquely: First track on both sides plays normally, outside-in. Ends. Lock grooves. Third track plays inside-out. Kind of a bitch to put on for more than one track, but worth it for the music. I heard Throw was DJ Godfather's new label. Any truth to this, and/or any more info on Throw? A.1. Extraterrestrial Brothers A funky piece of Detroit electro- techno, really booming, but too repetitive for me. A .2 DJ Godfather - Lock grooves The 2 here are some more funky electro, and damn fun to play with. A.3. Paris (Black FU) Some 4/4 techno, which I'm not too good at distinguishing, but I'm sure Lance could. B.1. Little Brother Love Steady 4/4 vocal techno that doesn't work more me sitting at home, but I think in a club this would definitely get me on the floor. B.2. DJ Godfather - Lock grooves One big electro lock, and one backwards lock, which is pretty fun to scratch on. . ;) B.3. Kit Clayton Some darker, more atmospheric electro-techno that has been growing on me every time I listen to it. It's repetitive, but the deep synth work keeps me from caring. I'm a sucker for synths that sound like this one. Any die-hard spotters know what's being used here? Anyhow, I could definitely get into this track. . .jeff / chris. .do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own . you may both be wrong .
