Here is my review of the Jamie Read lp from Recoreviews pt 18
back in October of 97. To me, this full length has more of a 93-95
Degiorgio sound to it. 

. Jamie Read: The End of the Beginning 3x12"/CD (Fragmented)
Twelve tracks of beautifully melodic housey techno
from the man also known as Wookie and Larry Heard 
Appreciation Society (LHAS). What's most impressive
about this release is the complexity of the tracks.
These tracks have exquisitely intricate melodies and 
percussion in much the same manner as Ian O'Brien's
"Desert Scores" although not as experimental. Fans of
Mr. Fingers, Glen Underground, Ian O'Brien or May/Craig
would really enjoy this full-length. I certainly do.
Are Jamie's Wookie, LHAS or Ugly Cutz releases as good
as this release? 10/10


The fragmented label is a very diverse label that has
a very diverse lineup of artists including Dan Curtin,
Morgan Geist, Chris Grey, Paul Mac, The Cause, 
Ordinary Folk (Insync), Groove Tribe (Jay Denham),
and Jamie Read. The styles of the Fragmented range
from deep techno to tech-house to quirky electro to
slamming minimal techno. A great label.
