Various - Organised By Reel - Reel - PVine PCD5410.
This is an interesting release. I had not heard any Reel output other than
Daniel Ibbotson's full length 'New Stories' and the associated 12" from the
same title. Overall the tone is detroit influenced. Not full on lush, but
quirky nonetheless. The B12 tracks stand out as does the Deepart. The CSM (
john beltran remix ) reminds me of the sound heard on Beltran's full length
- Moving Through Here.

Artist - track
Daniel Ibbotson - super hi resolution
Keisuke Nagao - i'm my own enemy
CSM - the way ( orig. mix )
B12 - newage
Deepart - picture 3
Daniel Ibbotson - new stories
B12 - shadow of a former self
CSM - the way ( john beltran mix )
Keisuke Nagao - unorganised vocabulary
Daniel Ibbotson - far places

Sun Electric - Via Nostra - Apollo
Incredible release. Complex sounds that get dispensed one after another,
and then layered over and through each other. The overall tone is a
disturbed Jazz quality with breaks and many unexpected twists and turns.
Takes you a while to understand what they are doing with each undulating
track then once you get it, it flows.

Jeffrey.
