can you tell i'll miss the list? > some UK comp > ????? jowonio prod mentioned that there is a cd comp coming out in the UK with a jowonio productions track on it. i've heard that track on >>> wow. good good good. based around writing/readings i believe, wish i could be more specifc but i can't, so i'll just say that the jowonio productions track is really nice blend of poetry and idm meets world serpent and that it will be well worth your efforts to hunt down the cd or bug john s. for more info on it... heard a pretty ltd. 7" split release may appear sooner than later with the track also, but the cd on a whole sounds like an interesting idea. also, john said this is more respresentative of the material on the twin tub and beaver cd release the learning skin, which i havent heard, but based on hearing the track, think that it'd be well worth checking out.... > skinny puppy > remix dystemper if you know anything about sp, you'd probably guess that i used to be into 'em (xxxx@xxxxx.xxx... ) so seeing autechre remix killing game (a personal fav) was far too tempting to pass up. so was seeing ogre & m. walk remix smothered hope (all time fav sp track? probably) on a whole, its ok. nothing special, really... if you're not into skinny puppy or industrial, might be better off passing up unless you're a big autechre fan. the god lives underwater remix of testure (skinny puppy was never this funky :) and the deftones remix of spasmolytic are fucking a_mazing, really (the best of the bunch probably) the guru remix of censor is pretty cool also. funny because it seems that the bands that i expected to really make this crap really made it worth picking up. i was honestly stumbling to hear the smothered hope remix and it was the first thing i listened to and ended up turning it off in disappointment... found the josh wink remix which turned chainsaw into plastikman with ogre vocals infinitely more interesting than with what ogre & walk did to smotherhope... oh well, this was worthwhile picking up for the remixes that you wouldn't expect to be the ones worth checking out... oh yah, the autechre remix... probably wondering about that, huh? gone completely is the angst and weepy-sorrow. the track sounds much more like a sequel to the puppy download track (from last rites) digitally altered to resemble the original in no real way. i like the trac= k on its own, but as a remix for this track, it did nothing at all for me. who would have guessed that i'd take a deftones or god lives underwater over an autechre remix??? > kk null & disc > nullsonic > vinyl communications interesting bit of work with self destructive packaging (looks pretty though) oddly enough, i tossed this on to give listen to as i wrote this up and track one reminds me an aweful lot of the Ae remix of smotheredhope, but is much more interesting (probably a good thing i unsub from idm today now, that being said :) series of digital sounds (i believe editted from skipping cds, although some of the sounds don't sound like this at all) this sort of jumps about, from repeative audio soundscapes that are mildly harsh to really interesting bits that are much more ambient in nature (and actually seem to have a more structured 'song nature about them) there are alot of different sounds on this... they obviously didn't limited themselves to any particular sound when picking stuff to skip. favorite bits on this are the quieter, more atmospheric and ambient parts (there are quite a few) and on a whole this, i'd recommend this to someone who enjoys stuff like tetsu inoue's psycho acoustic. great stuff, a difficult listen though if you don't enjoy experimental stu= ff :) > cex > cells > underscore afx inspired (?) idm from new diy label. of the three releases, this is my favorite (there's also terrahertz and temp sound solutions cds) cheesy synth sounds running rampant, but sound good.... lots of childlike happy melodies to be found, plus some dark based material and all in all a good fun listen. the any door (parts 1-3, spread over the release) are really good and actually covers alot of different sounds (ranging from the happy kiddy melodies that make you smile, to crunchy loud melodies, to odd spacey quiet bits) works very well and good stuff. this release comes across as much more diverse than the other releases from underscore and this would definately be the one to check out first. >> kid 606 >> don't sweat the technics >> vinyl communications raw.digital.audio. bits of this remind me of what it sounds like if machines/computers were talking to each other. really. an intense mix of harsh digital audio and drum n' bass beats. unlike all the recent digital hardcore stuff i've been buying, this really goes out on a limb when tweaking the audio. sometimes its some perfectly subtle and quiet and other times its some incredibly loud and intense. can't honestly say it does anything special with the beats (they're fast and intense and pretty loud) but there is some much more going on audio wise that i personally couldn't care less :) track four is my favorite... an effects styled cut up conversation between a guy and a girl that gets funky (sort of Disc style... but simply works better than any of the Disc I've heard_) interesting track titles (track 5::: now i'm completely fucked) (track 16::: matmos are the A-team of electronica) hardcore material, but some really excellent stuff found here...
