When the records themselves are pressed, they are not only beautiful to listen to, they are the most VISUALLY appealing records (the grooves themselves; they seem to radiate directly OUTWARD from the center label) I've seen in some time === Wow.....I saw my first brinkmann ernst 12" last night and immediately noticed the reflective majesty of the record.....who knew that it was more or less hand done?!! My only regret is that I couldn't buy the already sold record because it sounded damn good too..... [][][ Thought I'd say something about the CR/Pole show in Toronto last Friday:::Boody incredible, including the DJs who Greg Clow keeps trying to pawn off as half-baked rooks......Once I began to feel the groove (amongst the characteristics dubby haze and delay) I found dancing automatic......needless to say I went out and bought the Porter Ricks and Monolake cds the day after::I can't believe that the Biokinetics disc has been around for over 2 years::::trickest shit I've heard in ages----mixes real well with Thomas Koner's Kaamos too (much fun)...... @ndrew np- Canadian Public Radio (brave new waves) history of turntablism - smokin' Q-bert tune p.s. Also grabbed Biosphere's 'Patashnik' (Apollo, 1994) and have to say that it is an interesting album--in '94 I would've been floored but now I listen and hear idm in the gestation stages, navel tingles in effect.
