i go away for 3 days, and you crazy kids explode. aiee... my take on the
weekend's ramblings:
I
first music:
depeche mode : _black celebration_ (tape)
falco : "rock me amadeus" (record)
808state : _90_ (cd - hence, also the first idm)
gescom : _MD_ (minidisc - unless you count the blanks i bought)
II
drum'n'bass, the inherent silliness of the programming of and what else is
decent:
if i like i a d'n'b track, odds are it's either very sparse or very
inorganic. therefore, count me out on the whole drill'n'bass/spunk jazz
crowd (except squarepusher - that man can *write*). so i like robotic
breaks and very quanitized sound. inhuman stuff, not like clyde
stubblefield on pcp on 78. which leads me to...
...would anyone mind recommending some d'n'b for me? here's who i like
that touch on d'n'b or are:
haujobb/n.e.w.t./cleen
Ae
the dark photek tracks, but not source direct - photek is very sparse and
arranged.
oddly enough, two optical 12"s: "the bounce/the end" & "moving 808's/high
tek dreams".
like i said, a robotic, space, inorganic sound is what i'd like. namely
along the lines of the haujobb stuff on _matrix_. i call it cyber d'n'b,
but then again, i'm a dork.
III
music: that was then, what is now?
_surfing on sine waves_, _adventures beyond the ultraworld_, _90_,
_frequencies_, _amber_, and _theory of evolution_. at least two of these
still hit my cd player once a week. imho, i only really see about five,
maybe six, releases that have been come out in the past five years by
artists other than the previously mentioned that parallel these. maybe it
all doesn't sound new anymore. dunno.
drexciya : bubble metropolis.
