yes, you're right. cari lekebusch along with adam beyer, jesper =
dahlbaek, simon hartley, ascendence and a few other guys put out quite a =
few trancy records back in those years.. some stuff is really sad but i =
guess all artists go through a variety of styles before finding what =
seems to be his/hers own style.. but to the opposite of that there's =
nothing wrong to be a bit varied..
anyway i sold my 'know they for because' album the week after i got it - =
guess that wraps my comments on that one - and the drumcode records i've =
never really been a fan of. maybe it's because of the fact that the same =
records are played by different dj's and that makes it boring. there are =
exceptions, of course, but a lot of the swedish dj's just pick up the =
latest drumcode, p. rhythm, primate, reload records and then nothning =
else. it's really dull and annoying, that hardly anybody even dares =
playing any detroit or cr/bc/m records..

>The Mr James Barth - Stealin Music was pretty bad house. I think there

according to cari himself it's supposed to be dubby stuff that works for =
both the floor and for home listening. i just didn't like that very much =
either. the knocking boots were ok, but there's more james barth records =
around. he previously released 'my old blues suits' on swedish house =
label plumphouse, but that one i haven't heard so i can't speak up for =
that one.

>The Sons and Daughters Of The Rising had some pretty decent stuff. I
>wasn't into the hip hop. The drum n bass and techno stuff was pretty
>good.

it's all decent i think, but i've only heard it once or twice. really =
dug that experimental godkingpriest-track. it's just the wrong label for =
such a varied compilation imho.

>With regards to Adam Beyer, his Conceiled Patterns 1-4 was pretty
>good. I also like he Oliver Ho release on Drumcode.
>
conceiled was good. it's always nice to know that somebody like him do =
something besides the hard as nails-techno. :)

i hope so too. but i'm sure it'll get more attention in the swedish =
techno scene if it's all hard stuff like the stuff dj's can play. people =
who are both dj's and producers often do stuff they can play while =
djing, and in adam beyers case, it's hard as nails stuff. he nearly =
killed the dancers at the lollipop festival last year with his dj set. =
it was bitchin' though, i'd expected to see joey beltram but he =
cancelled (as did weatherall for his dj performance), so that wasn't =
really fun anyway. i was really tired after two nights of dancing =
anyway, so i guess it was for the best that beltram didn't show up to =
tease my feet with his ill techno.
