brilliant brilliant record. Faust does thing just insane, especially with
his limited set up of just two 1200s, an 8 track, and a 'beat up mtx
mixer'. while turntablist newbies definetly shouldn't start here, as you
this probably requires a slight bit more understanding and respect for what
he's doing, it's one of the best of it's leauge. to quote DJ Babu (Beat
Junkies).. the 3rd World citizens are 'the crew to blow up in '98".
Especially with the ko-wrek technique (PUSH BUTTON OBJECTS AND DJ CRAZE!!)
stuff coming out on chocolate industries and a crew 12" on bomb. Can anyone
point me to an online store where i can get their tapes?

also, i'm surprised no one mentioned this before, but apparently vol. 2 is
out now as well. i found this online:

IMHO, people who don't consider the turntable as intricate a part of hip
hop as the MC, weren't really 'raised on hip hop'. well, they may have been
raised on hip hop _MUSIC_, but not on hip hop _CULTURE_, two distinctly
different things. for example i spent a good portion of my life listening
mostly hip hop, yet being a suburban white boy, i have no cultural refernce
of hip hop as a non-musical society. Hand me a graf can and i'd probably
spray my eye out. this isn't to say i can't enjoy the music (or work on my
own turntablist skills, if i'd like to), but no matter what i'm still
technically outsider.
>Haven't heard the O'Rourke
can anyone reccomend some o'rourke solo material? i've heard his stuff with
gastr del sol, which i dig, but i don't know where to start with solo stuff.
also, there's been a copy of a 'Private Lightning Six' 12" sitting in the
clearance section of the local store. is this worth getting, i know some of
the austrian/mego guys are involved (potuznik, etc.) but is it more
experimental ala mego or just typical techno stuff?
np: company flow: 'burnout' (rawkus)
