>can anybody tell me what's the relations between the 'kombinaton >research' and 'metal box' labels? like sublabel from eachother, or >something bigger? and are they both ran by the advent? > kombination research is advents own label that started out somewhere in = middle 1998 and is around its sixth release now (KR006). all releases on = KR are by the advent, and the style is as you probably already know = driving minimal and electro (just to ride this new electro wave i = presume - their electrotrack on 'elementz of life' called 'city lights' = is a lot better than the newer stuff imo). metalbox on the other hand is the new name of internal, which released = advents first album 'elementz of life' (which is really good), 'shaded = elementz' (which contains techno remixes by lekebusch, damon wild, = p.a.s. and others) and their 'new beginnings' album too. after internal = changed to metalbox, the advent released the 'kombination phunk' album = which is weird to me. i heard that it contained remixes by the advent, = plus some of their own tracks too. this was not true. it's just another = collection. "tracks compiled by cisco ferreira and colin mcbean and = re-edits by cisco ferreira. the advent presents kombination phunk" is = written on the album. tracklisting: 01 porno actress / doppler effekt (DX002RAC) 02 quexos / r.a.c. (WAP52) 03 metaphysica / dj k1 (DB4W017) 04 elektrafix / the advent (KR001) 05 plastiphilia / doppler effekt (DX001) 06 c-on / the advent (KR002) 07 waveterm / damon wild vs. function (SW28) * 08 untitled / outline (BP05) 09 battle / planetary assault system (PF063) 10 believer / j.b.3. (NOMU50) ** 11 scorn / surgeon (74321473142) *** 12 flower child / morgan (GEO003) * this is probably an advent-remix ** i know this is no remix because it's the same version as the one = included on mr. beltram's novamute album *** what kind of cat. nr. is that? KR is the advents label. MB i don't know who's behind. -bauri . Musical Standards Destroys Innovation!
