>but...does anyone know what the hell mannequin lung sounds like? >everytime i go to the record store, their LP gets all up in my face >like "buy me, muhfuh!" and i'm all like "i don't KNOW you, man." here I go spreading gospel: well, you SHOULD know it, man. a great great record, one of my tops for '98 (not that i ever got around to posting my top 10s, lazy me). what does it sound like? a bit o' detroit, a bit o' cologne. honey and sand. molasses and asphalt. a fault line overgrown with poppy fields... ok, ok, i'm getting lexically horizontal, shoot me. really, mannequin lung takes the best of a 4-to-the-floor approach and updates it with fantastic textures and nuances. and rhytmically it goes pretty far beyond 4ttf, in fact. check the review at urban sounds (complete w/ RA): http://www.urbansounds.com/home/styles/house_techno/mannequin_lung-the_art_of_travel.html and then read about these 3 plug research gems: Shadow Huntaz/Trash Aesthetic, "DJ Screams Medic" ep http://www.urbansounds.com/home/styles/downtempo/shadow-_huntaz-dj_screams_medic.html Mr. Hazeltine, "On the Avenue" ep http://www.urbansounds.com/home/styles/house_techno/mr_hazeltine-on_the_avenue.html Low Res, Approximate Love Boat cd http://www.urbansounds.com/home/styles/experimental/low_res-approximate_love_boat.html peace phil ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
