konnichiwa. >Hey there, I'm looking for more stuff that sounds like Din S.T, so if you >have any suggestions please send them my way off-list, or whatever. i WILL NOT send them off list. dammit. anyhow, assuming you've heard alec empire... there isn't much else that resembles the din st 12"; patric catani's first DHR limited 12" is good, but not as fucked up. hecate's _hate cats_ 12" (praxis?) is on a similar level of brilliance, but it lacks the breaks-broken-into-atoms noisiness, opting instead for a more coherent (although still quite chaotic and noisy) flow. din st's work on the fever _too bad but true_ cd is quite good, more in a hip-hop style; caveat: if you're not too into weird german rappers, you might want to avoid. also din-related is the kut-up kaos kick/ultraflash split 7" on zhark (he produced the ultraflash track - an amazing little ditty composed of gameboy bleeps and weird grinding noise, lots of echo, fem vocals) and the robotnics crossing _trigger happy_ 7" (betley welcomes careful drivers) is just amazing, if you like raw no wave guitar/bass noise over those carbonized beats. which i do, quite a lot. speaking of distortion... am i the only one who thinks the somatic responses _circumflex_ cd on hymen is the welsh fuckin' bomb? for those that don't know - it's reminiscent of old rephlex (cylob's _ifs_/kinesthesia vol. 1+2) with a little more hardcore distortion, some elements of advanced idm ratcheting and nicely developing atmospheres. -b. -- radio: [ http://listen.to/treblequake ] reviews: [ http://www.homestead.com/spleens/ ] that thing upstairs is not my mother. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
