got some new stuff in the mail today- some very quick skimming. plastikman-artifakts this was supposed to be the 3rd part of the plastikman trilogy, but hawtin was banned from the u.s. for a while and everything got backed up. these tracks (7) were from after musik and before consumed and were supposed to be a continuation of minimal tracks found on sheet one, and they are. think a blend of sheet one and concept 1 and you are most of the way there. the last two tracks, however, sound like they belong on an ai3 comp. wagon christ-tally ho i dont get into downtempo much, but this is a little more uptempo and focused than big soup, which i found to be a bit sprawling. pretty straightforward gear from vibert. 2 lone swordsmen-bag of blue sparks first purchase of 2ls stuff and sounds ok. hard to compare to other weatherall stuff as i dont really have any. not as intense as the track on we are reasonable people. nice electro tinges and a vocoder on the last track. more electonic/electro than most warp stuff of late. arovane- 12' on din not the usual snap/crackle/pop of bc/din material. take funkstorung and slow it way down. another gem for the bc crew. cl crossing my fingers that this makes the 1% of reviews that are worthy of attention.
