the pantha du prince album is all very much in the vein of 'saturn strobe' - it is really nice stuff, kind of limited in terms of the sounds he uses but if you don't mind that there are some terrific melodic touches throughout.

ronan u r a star. have you heard the tracey thorn/ewan pearson album yet? keep meaning to start a thread - there are some awesome songs on it, esp when pearson breaks out some properly soaring disco production.

Details re the album please!

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 12 January 2007 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

i've only listened to it a couple of times. thorn apparently went off to the countryside to write & record all the songs acoustically, then sent them off to pearson* to work magic on. about half are very uptempo disco numbers, some really great disco string action which complements thorn's songs surprisingly well (SEARCH 'get around to it', where thorn totally gets into this amazing dancefloor groove).

thorn's vocals are as mannered as ever - even in the most danceable moments you never feel as if she's breaking sweat. not decided whether this is a positive or negative yet.

*and someone else - pearson does seven tracks but i've lost the press release so i don't know who does the rest

I still haven't heard it.

This Cortney Tidwell remix is absolutey amazing tho. Check it out, it's right at the end of the radio show I just posted up.

Prins Thomas's remix of Lee Jones' "There Comes A Time" on Aus Music is amazing....

anyone have an opinion on the new 'Who's Afraid Of Detroit?' remixes which includes Audion's?

micarl (micarl), Saturday, 13 January 2007 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

new Pantha Du Prince album

i'm excited.

groovemaan (groove nihilist), Saturday, 13 January 2007 22:37 (seventeen years ago) link

2006 Bobbins, but the track that I really slept on (in the sense that I liked it but didn't realise it was one of my absolute favourite things of last year) was Sleeper Thief's "Chasing You". So intricate and surprising and surprisingly, intricately hooky! Such a "yes, this is the sound of '06" track.

My favourite context for it is Heidi's Resident Advisor mix - fitting because that's such a Sound of '06 mix - that perfect mixture of housiness and deepness and clickiness, and just so very anthemic. It feels like a "Now That's What I Call Minimal!" mix, even if I only know the names of just over half the tracks. I keep going back.

that cover is so fucked up!

Good Dog (Good Dog), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:58 (seventeen years ago) link

wow, the long tracks on no model no tool are pretty tight. i love all the toms on saulitude.

i haven't heard that EAT split but i definitely don't think luciano has been sucking. i mean, the superloooongevity cut was worthless for dancing, but it's still a good listen nonetheless.

also, the new for disco only was tobi neumann, not luciano, so that doesn't count.

friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 02:14 (seventeen years ago) link

the short tracks are all very much dj tools. some of them scream possibility at me. the last final (15 min. long) is very ambient... i don't have much use for it. maybe if this was a single 12" with the two drum tracks and afghan birds, the siren tool, and tonerres. that would kill.

friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 02:21 (seventeen years ago) link

New Sleeparchive is better than his last two singles but really short on song length, perhaps mercifully.

Echo Club is also a snore, possibly expected from those two, don't know the scene well enough.

Probably not minimal but still wonderful, Gaiser & Heartthrob, "Nasty Girl."

This thread is my new home.

Steev (Steev), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 02:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I 2nd Nasty Girl - love it.

Also liking the new Alter Ego mix of Partial Arts 'Traurmusik' - good bleepy fun. And Larry Heard feat. Mr White 'The Sun Can't Compare' - love it.

Dominik Eulberg appears to be DJing in Moonside

my bad, i figured the catalog numbers were in order of release

friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 03:25 (seventeen years ago) link

so when did the tobi neumann one come out?

friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 03:27 (seventeen years ago) link

i dunno? but the split with EAT is...well, let's just say that pfork got it right on the dot:

Quietly poking along since 2003, Berlin's Diamonds & Pearls label increased its profile earlier this year with a split single from Ricardo Villalobos and Henrik Schwarz; it follows up with a split from Luciano, of Cadenza/Perlon/Playhouse fame, and EAT (aka Morten Cargo & At Ease, who under one alias or another have contributed to five of DNP's six singles so far).

Luciano's side is unsurprisingly long (11 minutes) and loopy, easygoing but somehow set on pins and needles. The hard reverb that hangs over insistent clap patterns suggests a sense of confinement that runs counter to his customary expansiveness, and dark vocodings temper any runaway tropical inclinations Luciano's endlessly twitching syncopations might otherwise indulge. With little variation, aside from an ever-growing buzz of presumably field-recorded voices, traffic and crying children, this free-flowing, slightly paranoid prelude is the kind of thing Luciano can turn out in his sleep, and given the track's blasé title, he probably did. Only difference between him and us: His nightmares are worth putting on tape.

the problem is that it isn't really that worth putting to tape. they gave it 3 stars, i'd give it 2, maybe 2.5, if i were going to evaluate it in that way, which i isn't.

i listened to the luciano 'for disco only' three times the last time i was at halcyon, just to make sure that i did, in fact, think it sucked. and it does, imo.

the table is the table (treesessplode), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 05:28 (seventeen years ago) link

that description could fit his superloooongevity cut. not bad overall, totally subpar for luciano. no model no tool is good though, although it's still pretty incomplete sounding. that's the point i guess.

friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 05:54 (seventeen years ago) link

i feel like he must have gone through a rough period emotionally with all the anxiety and claustrophobia in those tracks. i think he's regaining his focus.

friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 05:55 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean, most of his other tracks floor me again and again, so it might just be my expectations for him. do you have him and pier bucci? that 12" is so fucking good.

the table is the table (treesessplode), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 06:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Just found out Beatport have given me $5.99 worth of free track downloads (ie like 3 tracks) - check for this in your junk mail or whatever if you bought any tracks off them in '06. Tomorrow morning will be chiefly comprised of picking these tracks (or adding a few dollars in myself and getting an album/compilation) while drinking a few gourds of mate. I think I'm going to make it something '07, any suggestions welcome, contents of this thread have already given me some food for thought.

jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 18 January 2007 03:57 (seventeen years ago) link

nb I'm not going to take all morning doing this I just probably won't be up til almost midday.

good man

oh no! they're all sold out of mp3s.

jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

it is a particularly shit week on beatport...I wish someone would grab them my the head and teach them to be better with genre classification....and also to just not stock some of the absolute shit that they do....

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:25 (seventeen years ago) link

grab them BY the head

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Thing that just made me sad on beatport: all the tracks from Harissa are the best selling Cadenza tracks!

jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 18 January 2007 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

sad, but predictable!

fandango (fandango), Thursday, 18 January 2007 18:00 (seventeen years ago) link

This Cortney Tidwell remix is absolutey amazing tho

Wow, it is properly amazing...

braveclub (braveclub), Thursday, 18 January 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost: Sad but predictable: the Loco Dice story.

No, to be fair I actually quite like him. Just feel he can't touch some of the other Cadenza releases.

jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 18 January 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Some of the stuff on Cadenza is pretty boring though. I like "A Chico A Rhythmico" a lot more than anything else on there since Achso, "Yamore (Remix)" or the Luciano/Melchior split 12.

Obv. it's not in the same class as, say, the lifechanging Bomberos/Octagonal 12.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 18 January 2007 20:44 (seventeen years ago) link

"Achso, "Yamore (Remix)" or the Luciano/Melchior split 12"

? but this is a list of 3 out of 4 of Cadenza's latest 12"s.

I like it all apart from Digitaline and Cadenza 03.

a (rslvd), Thursday, 18 January 2007 20:52 (seventeen years ago) link

xp. There's only been one release between those three you list and Harissa!

jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 18 January 2007 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

check the new Audio Werner EP on beatport. Flatfunk (Circus Company). although of course, it's on soulseek already.

a (rslvd), Thursday, 18 January 2007 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I like the sound of that and a cursorary search of soulseek has unearthed one dude with a 114 man long queue. So here I go.

jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 18 January 2007 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha, already on o1nk's in 320. Slaps forehead.

jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 18 January 2007 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone else interested in the next two Spectral releases? Remixes of Mouth to Mouth, and a split Audion/Bodycode release.

On that note, anyone else like the Bodycode album? It's hit or miss for me, but mostly the former..

mh. (mike h.), Thursday, 18 January 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh, I guess whether anyone responds will show me whether anyone cares that I posted that here instead of being more discriminating, genre-wise.

mh. (mike h.), Thursday, 18 January 2007 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Mouth to mouth remixes should be interesting. Easily in the top 5 tracks of last year for me, perhaps with the No fit state remix by Audion also in there.

jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 18 January 2007 21:59 (seventeen years ago) link

'octagonal' is.. so good. i like a good amount of cadenza stuff. loco dice is sort of down there on my list (he's *okay*), but eh. Yamore is sick shit.
