Did no one turn out last night to see Aphrodite spinning at Cubby Bear? I showed up around 11'ish, and there were maybe 10 people sitting around drinking beer while a few guys were spinning some of the most dense, rhythmic hardcore jungle I've heard for months! Great set, though the venue was a bit off. If Aphrodite had played a gig in Toronto, the turnout would have been a helluva lot bigger. Is Chicago still hung up about inventing house or something???? :) Yadda yadda..... tons of record reviews coming when I get my turntable back. In the meantime, the new Lida Husik record is mighty fine, though it doesn't quite showcase Beamont Hannant's programming, it's still (imho) a lot better than the Husikesque and Music at the Grange (sp?) albums.... New Mixmaster Morris record is fabulous.... very laid back downtemp electronics, a lot of voice samples (including a great John Cage snippet talking about white noise) and lush melodies. This is going to be the record to buy in September..... well worth the wait. Bleep out.
