The best is making a tape on V's and then checking it out the next day! ha ha, the simple joys of youth. And now some reviews that might be of interest... Organised Noise - Various Artists comp CDR I've wanted to check out this label since seeing some reviews, and this compilation has not disappointed me! In fact it's about the perfect techno record for me... straight-ahead but not too minimal, soulful at times but not campy, sharp and noisy at times. I've been listening to it straight through for a few days, definitely a great record for the summer! My only complaint... doesn't play on the walkman thing I've pressed into service for cd-ing, makes it say "Sorry!" Well, time for a real cd deck I guess. Standout tracks include a bemused sounding number from MArkus Miller, "Routine Blur," a noisy drummy track from Lucas Rodenbush "Sliver" and especially a warpy clanky one from Twerk, "Conveyor Belt." Enough adjectives for ya? Pick it up! Auto Repeat - The Unbearable Lightness of Autorepeating CD - SSR Maybe this ain't much news to those on this list (it's a comp of records from 94-97 put out in 98, by Elin from Austria by the way) but thought it's worth a mention. I wouldn't ordinarily buy an album of "disco-house" but when I see something advertised as "the most warped record we've heard in months" I get to thinking. Well here's to truth in advertising. If "warped disco-house" is your thing, this is for you! I haven't even gotten to the remixes yet (from DJ sneak, paul Johnson, Sluts 'n' strings and 909 and Carl Craig.) Take it easy John
