>>mnemonic image... i was heavily disappointed >>with the two lps pickton has brought out, as they can't hold a fucking >>candle to this early material.. >I kind of disagree - _Inspiration_ (first Stasis album I think) is prime >Steve Pickton material. i never got into any of it, it never really reached any notable heights like the earlier (or at least, released earlier) tracks. but maybe i should dig it out again, haven't listened to it in ages! >the Old to the New_ was interesting but it kind of heralded the arrival of >Steves new sound - working with breaks and more funky sounds and kind of >dropping the chords and Detroit sound a bit. This is what disappoints me >slightly about Steve's stuff nowadays. again, the second lp sounded somewhat flat to me, but listenable >Some of his stuff has the tendency >to meander along without really doing much (like his 12" on Multiplex) this is currently at the back of one of my piles - after some great reviews it was very disappointing! i've learned not to take any notice of people's reviews now, and i'm amazed that people continuously moan about there being too few on this list. i can't think of a bigger waste of time. i think it has more to do with the actual quality of the writing though to be honest. >but >occasionally he hits the spot completely. Both those albums on Peacefrog. >He also did the Paul W. Teebrooke _Connections_ LP on Op-ART but again, >this kind of trod similar ground to _From the Old to the New_ so I haven't >really listened to it much. well the 'nova' single is one of my favourite stasis records, especially the club-oriented track, which has great drums and synth, because that kind of track is rarely done these days cheerio! np - soul in motion - dj krust
