I do think that the Paul W Teebrooke cd was top notch!! >Great! > Yes i agree the the Ted Howler and MFA 12"s weren't as good as previous previous works by the artists involved. I was quite disappointed with the MFA 12". But i have to disagree with your opinion of the Repeat 12" (I assume you're talking about the Canada ep on Unexplored Beats). To me it was four great abstract Repeat/Plaid style IDM cuts. I still find myself playing that one with regularity. >> Also got a white of some new label Native, from the > Theory guys >(Ben Sims' techno label I think).

Most of the Theory releases I have heard have been pretty >good, but I haven't been buying very much minimal lately. > Theory is one of Ben Sim's labels along with the new Killa Bite label and the one CiM mentioned, Native. All four of the Theory records have been great dark gritty abstract minimal techno releases all featuring remixes from some big names including Mark Broom, Claude Young, Jay Denham, Function, Stasis, Herman Funker III (Paul Mac), Planetary (Dan Curtin) and The Wise Caucasian (Steve O'Sullivan). The Killa Bite record is great stomping hard house record that very different than his Theory records but still essential. I look forward to hearing the the Native record to see what sounds he and his label mates are exploring now. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
