some new stuff hear, more to come including the first office products, aspen (going to do that today if it kills me), new colongib & some more. also, picked up the ae peel sessions (whats up, eveyone had this, but not a copy of the black dog sessions to be found). have to agree with whoever posted about the packaging. that gave me a good old laugh and i was forced to listen to my BoC peel sessions cdr :) warp, keep them coming!!!! stock, hausen & walkman - my bag (hot air0 i had always assume that the material would be more sound collage, maybe in the vein of people like us hate people like you, but my bag proved me wrong. much more structured tracks and sounds, all from odd sounds, packed filled with fun samples, its right up the carefree electronic idm ave. all the tracks are lots of fun and this is tops here rigt now. dummy run - ice cream headache (hot air) from the same camp as above, but 100x better (and the above was really nice) drum and bass, really manic like, but totally off the wall with the samples. sort of like seseme street gone off playing dnb. only problem is that the price tag is rather large and the cd clocks in under 40 minutes, but its so good i'd drop the money all over again in a second. get this. office products - business (?) THIS is more what i thougt stock, hausen & walkman would be. track one dbm (28+ minutes, live) rather harass collage of sounds comprised of guitar picking, sliding, etc, tiny radio clips, tv clips and odd sounds. if you've ever heard PLU's hate people like you, this is very much in that vein, except that flows very well, one bit of the collage melting into the next. this, on the other hand, is abrasive, moves from sample to sample with a pick of a guitar string or a blast of noise and its off. the samples are all no longer than a few seconds long, leaving the lsitener with nothing to follow or grasp onto, nothing to piece together except maybe a word a phrase that shot 10 minutes ago with one that just passed. very different and difficult release, but if your thoughts are already scattered perhaps this will work for you. track two: cal (again, live) based around a jazz center, formed of both jazz samples, guitar and various other samples, this one is nice. throughout the weirest shit pops up from nowhere and slowly builds to a chaotic loud end. track three:O (again, live) much in the vein of the first track, minus the guitar plucking, making it far less abrasive, much more accessible and bits of rhythm even almost materialize. weird, spooky elestic feeli to this one. plus, this track seems to be based around the theme Portland, OR, which has a comforting effect giving you something to focus in on :) the rest of the release::: seems to possess a bit more structure, although none of the madness is compromised. lots of really strange samples in there, and i think maybe we even hear solenoid's voice once or twice. on a whole, this release is really going to be hard listening for some :) but its worth it if this is your thing. cannot stress enough giving this a chance all the way through track 5 at least! i will never hear the 2001 theme song the same again. fucking excellent.
