The early Cari Lekebusch stuff that I heard was really trancey. I think the releases I am thinking about were on Planet Rhythm and came out around 1994. I didn't like that stuff very much. With regard to Drum Code 4, I thought that was great!! I also picked up a Know For They Because, Vansterprassel Me and a couple of other that I can't remember the names of, which I thought were excellent. I think Cari Lekebusch put out some of the best techno (for the floor) of last year. The Mr James Barth - Stealin Music was pretty bad house. I think there might have been one song which was decent. With regards to the James Barth material, I thought Knocking Boot vol 2 was decent...but not nearly as good as the other stuff I mentioned. > so, duh, i'd say he used to be more interesting.. > hybrid used to be rockin minimal: danijel alpha, > alexi delano (who these days produces boring stuff > too, IMHO), jean-louis huhta, crushed insect & sick > puppy, ron maney, akilah bryant. stopped releasing > good music about a year ago when the abstract soul > (jana clemen) album and the 'sons & daughters of the > rising' 4x12" collection came out.. sons & daughters > freaked out a bit mixing all kinds of styles like > d'n'b (never ever even released on hybrid before), > hiphop and such.. guess that was what triggered it. > after that he changed cat. nr. and the newer releases > all sounded like drumcode.. blea The Sons and Daughters Of The Rising had some pretty decent stuff. I wasn't into the hip hop. The drum n bass and techno stuff was pretty good. With regards to Adam Beyer, his Conceiled Patterns 1-4 was pretty good. I also like he Oliver Ho release on Drumcode. When I talked to Adam Beyer a few months ago he was talking about releasing a full-length soon. Hopefully it has as much depth as the most recent Surgeon and James Ruskin lps. Instead of one hard as minimal track after the other. > -bauri . Musical Standards Destroys Innovation! _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
