i'm enjoying the holy heck out of the dj vadim remix album on ninja tune, _ussr reconstruction_. this is an all-around solid comp, featuring standout cuts from jamie hodge, techno animal, the prunes, clatterbox, reflection, daniel pemberton, and oval, among a half dozen others. the hodge track is particularly great, and for those that've heard it, i'd be interested to know if he's released other stuff in this vein. pretty dense, smokey instrumental hip-hop, a nice mix of sampled, scratchy-as-hell percussion and treated drum machines and such. and after his top contributions to the conjoint album on km20, i'm wondering just what else of his i need. whatsis born under a rhyming planet stuff like? also, the oval track is one of the best things i've heard outta them/him, across the board. much fuller and more timbrally varied. a *dynamic* oval track? believe it... sc
