the new morane (particularly the b-side) is incredible. the new narcotic syntax is good and the fairly recent 'set me free' by kalabrese is super fun. but, i don't think there has been a bad perlon so just get the lot.
my pox would be -

there's a brothomstates edit of "uptown" that came out on arcola that i really liked. i can't find a listening link but it does a great job of staying true to the original. he sort of streamlines it down to a couple of key loops (the bridge, the intro riff, prince squealing "uptown!!") and puts some restrained glitch effects on it to make it sound warm and fuzzy and hazy and echoey and spectral. really, really great.

that said, the villalobos single is sort of a hybrid affair. i am being lazy and calling it a dancefloor-friendly version of his last album. lots of deep stuff and improv going on, but the groove is front and center...well at least as close to front and center as he gets!

In regards to the Dandy Jack album, if you just want to skim it, I'd say go from the end of "Arabs in the Desert" and into the beginning of "Samba Lubeck". To semi-repeat myself, in regards to the Dandy Jack album, if you want to give it a deeper listen, I'd say go from the beginning of "Arabs in the Desert" and through to the end of "Samba Lubeck".

this is one of the Narcoboys from Perlon posting, just stumbled on this page while googling for "Superlongevity 4". Thank you all for your praise, I enjoyed reading every bit. Jedmond inquired about "4000 to the Floor". Well, this one will be mainly retrospective, probably CD-only and it is not quite sure when it's going to be out, maybe in 2007. Narcotic Syntax have other musical priorities at the moment, but I hope you'll enjoy our forthcoming 2x12"EP "Provocative Percussion" to be released on the Cologne-based WIR label (a spin-off of the Treibstoff community) in September. Keep the vibes and always remember: The Perlonoids do it only for you.

So has anyone heard the new Melchior Productions LP (No Disco Future)?
― Telephone thing, Saturday, 3 November 2007 03:08 (5 years ago) Permalink
Man I really want to, I didn't even know it was on Perlon. Personally I'm really intrigued by this claims about getting away from his microhousey style, which is usually what I find works against him (those same skittery hat lines and vocal snippet type tracks can only go so far unfortunately) Nevertheless I'm excited, I'm in a bit of a Melchior phase right now where I'm convinced he is more or less a genius. This is the result of recently giving Different Places a solid listen for the first time since last winter, and, more drastically, discovering Law of Grace about a month ago (after having heard it live in the summer, not knowing what it was then) which has pretty much reduced me to tears several times since I first downloaded it.
In other 'Lon news I encountered someone who's selling copies of Perlon 1 through 28 on vinyl. Man, if I had enough disposable money on me. . . (I did manage to get separate copies of the first Perlon release AND Frank Mueller Melodram for $4 each off him though :D )

I'm yet to listen to it but it's doubtful, although if you ever happen to be in Downtown Toronto you can always get it those other records off that guy. I'm actually listening to Let's Go Deep, which I also just got off him for $4 :D Melchior I love you.

This brought up because I found a bargain copy of "Quebec Nightclub" by Akufen and am now listening to it, and "New Process" was just playing, and the part where it goes like "ev-rything. . you know", which is the part that I heard a loop of years ago and which arguably was responsible for really turning me onto techno and house and bam, there it came out of nowhere.

yeah, Centrepoint, I used to work there in the mid-late nineties. I went tonight and it was positive London clubbing experience - for once! Nice people, good music/soundsystem, adequate facilities etc. Zip played a fantastic set, had a quick chat, such a cool guy.

So, Superlongevity 5 is out. Not sure I can afford the box set though!
― mmmm, Friday, 3 December 2010 10:02 (2 years ago) Permalink
'superlongevity' has a kinda appropriate/ironic/unfortunate feel to it these days (depending on viewpoint)
i had 3 & 4 iirc so will investigate

There's maybe a handful of tracks in this compilation that have any business on a dancefloor. The rest is just tired old shit: a couple light little drum kicks, a few weird noises, maybe a some vocal belch or squeek or what the fuck ever! People...remember Detroit? And Chicago? Where's the soul? Where's the swing? Minimal burned itself out a while ago already. The Perlon packaging looks nice but its just a shell on a mostly empty product.
eh this sounds just my kinda thing

I have vol. 4 and only like two tracks: the one that's mostly hi-hats and the one that's all freestyle.

…after listening to it again those were Melchior Productions LTD's "In the Shadow" and Narcotic Syntax's "Raptors' Delight"

This.
I think I'm going to wait until boxing day (aka Dec 26. aka Canadian/British Black Friday) and hope to find it in stores and get up to a third off. But this is unlikely. Otherwise I can get one place to order it for me straight, but it would be $140, which is just DO NOT WANT (well, it's actually DO WANT BUT DO NOT WANT TO PAY). Oh well.

I really want to hear the Narcotic Syntax track... is anyone selling mp3s??
― elan, Friday, 10 December 2010 04:04 (2 years ago) Permalink
"Where's the swing?"
kind of an inaccurate criticism to make of Perlon, surely
― missingNO, Friday, 10 December 2010 04:14 (2 years ago) Permalink
Oh man, I didn't realize Narcotic Syntax had a track on it (now there's a hugely underrated and immensely talented duo).
Does anyone know how many of these they're pressing. I really want it, but not at a rate of $20 per record...

Also included, a very special collectors item, only available with this release.
Also, anyone have any idea what this is?

I was very, VERY happy to find Markus Nikolai's Back used on vinyl today! It still sounds absolutely fantastic. Having far more disposable income than I did when this stuff was getting released (i.e. when I was a broker-than-broke-ass college student) is a wonderful thing. Things change so quickly in the world of dance music; it feels like just the other day when I special-ordered Superlongevity on CD from my local store in Richmond, VA. (That was my one CD purchase of the, like, two or four week period, and I didn't or couldn't download back then either.) And now, pretty much exactly a decade later, I'm catching up on single-artist releases from back that have been just randomly popping up in Brooklyn record stores. Given the speed with which things come into and go out of fashion in this realm, it does make me wonder who's still listening to this early-2000s micro-/minimal stuff in 2011? Are there younger kids out there right now in listening to, I dunno, Vocalcity for the first time and having their faces blown off? Why am I more self-aware / pondering of the possibility of being horribly out of fashion when buying stuff like this than, say, early '80s metal or postpunk?
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 2 August 2011 02:26 (1 year ago) Permalink
maybe because it seems like there's no great reason for anyone out there somewhere to be digging on 00s micro-mnml (besides, like, the music: but they have to know about it somehow)? it seems to me like it didn't pass into legend or anything, or hasn't yet. and its original audience kind of abandoned it / its producers fell off / the 'sound' lost its potency or fashionableness or relevance.
― j., Tuesday, 2 August 2011 05:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
Sounds like a good take, j. I've been reading Reynolds's Retromania this week, and it feels like micro-mnml stuff is in that pit right now of never having been revived (and thus attracting younger, newer audiences)--maybe because not "enough" time has elapsed for a revival?--but the original releases being somewhat hard to find (aren't those old Force Inc. records long out of print for the most part?).
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 2 August 2011 14:44 (1 year ago) Permalink
Aside from the really clinical, bass-light, clicky stuff has mnml really gone away? Zip is still regarded as one of the best DJs around, Cassy is the new resident at Circoloco, DC10 this year and of course Ricardo is still massive. All of them have widened their palette to include deep / classic / tech-house sounds but they still sound pretty minimal to me. Maybe I'm carrying the baggage of 15 years+ clubbing to define the genres properly or it's the clubs I go to?

i'm quite looking forward to hearing the new portable album
depeche vocals + acid + dazzle ships synths
should be sick
― missingNO, Friday, 5 August 2011 13:44 (1 year ago) Permalink
portable live in dalston a couple of months backwas the best techno gig ive been to in a hell of a long time, I have vague memories of that tune.
― straightola, Friday, 5 August 2011 14:57 (1 year ago) Permalink
Oh and given that we have just about got to the mid nineties of watery NY house and loop techno in the cutting edge dance music revival id say the micro boom will be about 2015

i'd almost given up on perlon but the new mara trax (b-side especially) is refreshingly great.
