scanning away and figured i'd share some thoughts on some new stuffs i got in today... push button objects - great, but not quite as good as the jewsa... that left me, um, dying for more... much more laid back than the other 3 releases for schematics influx (resonance records... title ? not in front of me) was dying to hear influx for a while now and was happy i picked this up... much more beat oriented than i expected but overall very good (sorry, i suck at reviewing) anyone know where i can pick up more??? in particular the isophlux influx (this is out, correct?) friend/dr kosmos - holy shite! love dot stuff, love friends 1st 12", but that metamatics remix of i love you (huh) is *amazing* a decent, yet not particularly great song (though lots of fun) twisted into a very intense piece of music... if you are thinking about picking this up, its worth it for this remix alone!!! global goon afterlife - wow! loved goon but this is so very much better! still fun, but this is much more serious music... only a quick listen as i couldn't wait to slap on.... it era vulgaris... cue up black dog mix that was so highly talked about! having a very hard time believing this is mr downie... not that i doubt for one second that he couldn't produce a remix of this quality, but this is a complete departure from anything i've heard black dog wise... never really thought that anything black dog (past or present) has had an actual "idm" sound... much more offbeat dance / worldly sound, but this sounds like it might be on a schematics or any other "idm" label... and its *GOOD*... i can only hope that 1/2 the material on the rest of this is 1/2 this good! if you haven't picked this up yet, highly recommend contacting modernmusic asap as everyone else who's mentioned it has previously advised (and so wisely!) and i still have 4 more new stuffs to break out ! sorry for the outburst of excitement, been a long time since i've got so much good music @ once (still recovering from receiving vvmt1 & 4 a couple days back) Chris xxxx@xxxxx.xxx http://www.sonic.net/~brap/ blackdog, vvm, whitezone-l, slipdisc C.Gosselin, PO Box 8264, Santa Rosa, CA 95407
