Spent the afternoon listening to some of the new and classic records i got this week. Here are some quick first impressions: ............................................................................ ........................... . Moodymann: Mahogany Brown 2x12" (Peacefrog) Fabulous stuff. More top of the line house from KDJ. . Moodymann: The Dancer 12" (After Midnight) An older release with a storming remix of The Dancer by DJ Tonka. . Moodymann: I Can't Kick This Feelin' When It Hits 12" (After Midnight) Another older release with a great Sensurreal remix of I Can't Kick... plus a cool unreleased remix of Music People. . Further Adventures in Technosoul comp 2x12" (Ferox) An excellent comp of funky, jazzy tech-house but it's not quite as impressive as the first Ferox comp. I noticed that the 2x12" has four fewer tracks than the cd so you'll have to find that ltd Ferox sampler 12" from a few months ago to get all the tracks on vinyl. A worthwhile purchase. . John Tejada: The Scene's Just Not What It Used to Be 12" (Palette) A little more techno sounding than previous Palette records. . Theorem: Shift 12" (M_NUS) Stunning deep detroit techno with a bc flavor. . Blakdoktor: Heaven In Your Eyes 12" (Shaboom) Excellent deep tech-house from Mark Bell and Doc Martin. The first record i've liked on shaboom. . Bandulu: New Foundations 12" (Foundation) An unsuccessful attempt at mixing classic dub raggae and techno. Probably the worst Foundation 12" i've heard. Ben Long: Pot002 12" (Potential) Nice hard banging techno in the same vein as the recent Space DJZ. . Jamie Anderson: Gangsta Boogie rmxs 12" (Artform) A very nice atmostpheric techno release with nice remixes by sterac and a few others. fans of sterac, envoy or percy x/mion take note. . Thomas Koner: Kaamos cd (Mille Plateaux) Sublimely deep bc-styled ambience and ambience. . Cari Lekebusch: Reverted 12" (Hybrid) A very good combo of techno and dub effects. Probably my favorite Lekebusch release in some time. . Daft Punk: Around The World/MAW Mixes 2x12" (Virgin) An excellent set of funky remixes by Masters at Work. All are mid-tempo in speed but very engaging. ............................................................................ ........................... As you can see i did a fair share of listening today. Keep in mind that the above notes are only first impressions. Expect full reviews in the near future. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
