Just a quick response while on break at work...

Ah yes, i was just checking out the new ratio 2x12" 
yesterday. A really solid doublepack of rob hood/
claude young-styled techno from the Hi-Lo guys. 
Central is one of my favorite techno labels. The first 
four records and six through eight are all essential.
But beware of the second Skinless Bros 12" called 
It's the G. It was an experimental techno thing that 
went very wrong. But that is the only miss out of
all of the central records. Here are the details...

Central Discog.
. Ratio: Transfer 12" (Central 01)
. The Skinless Brothers: s/t 12" (Central 02)
. Ratio: Interrupt 12" (Central 03)
. The Memory Foundation: Heated Heads 12" (Central 04)
. The Skinless Brothers: Its the G 12" (Central 05)
. Ratio: Preview 12" (Central 06)
. Ratio: Welcome to Central 2x12" (Central 07)
. Die Rhythmaker: 1999 12" (Central 08)

Dont forget classic Hi-Lo records on other labels like:
. The Memory Foundation: Made in Vienna 12" (M-Plant)
. Ratio: The Babbel Syndrome 12" (7th City)
. The Memory Foundation: Greenflash 12" (Mosaic)

And for more of a house/disco take on the Central 
sound check out Hi-Lo's house label Grow! My favs
Grow! are the Glory B and Jeremiah records -
especially the first four. Get the Grow comp cd for
a good taster of what the label has to offer.

Grow! Discog.
. Glory B.: Star 12" (Grow! 001)
. Jeremiah: i Levels Vol. 1 12" (Grow! 002)
. Glory B.: Friday Island 12" (Grow! 003)
. Jeremiah: I Levels Vol. 2 12" (Grow! 004)
. The Last Disco Superstars: Theme 2x12" (Grow! 005)
. Maybe and Her Boneless Sisters: Respect 12" (Grow! 006)
. Jeremiah: Alphabet 12" (Grow! 007)
