Minimal house bobbins 2007

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.

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

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.

right. great track.

i'm excited.

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.

DOMINIK EULBERG - HEIMISCHE GEFILDE (TRAUM CD19)

All Hits by Dominik Eulberg on Traum as unreleased edits + Bonus tracks of
the forthcoming 12" + Voice moderation of Dominik Eulberg himself in
word and tone + Vogel techno orchester!!!!

Don`t miss it!"

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!

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.

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.

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.

newer than this one?

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

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.

Wow, it is properly amazing...

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

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

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