Jean-Francois: Thanks for the heads up on ab-cd.com
(didn't know about that one). you mentioned Autechre:
they've got a double ep out June 7th on Warp called
EP7. 10 tracker of mostly downtempo electronics,
plus a couple of uptempo numbers. Good stuff, as is
the new album from labelmates Plaid (Rest Proof Clockwork;
15 tracker with their usual quirky links and a bucketload
of funk, most at instrumental hip hop speed, but there's
an electro cut that would fit in a regular ol' electro set
and a nice downtempo techno number too. The biggest
thing I noticed was that there's quite a bit of scratching
on this, but I don't have any info on who's doing it.
Chris? Greg? Anyway, it's out June 21, check it out).
Thanks. Andrew Duke :)
