I'm still around.

I've even started making my own filterhouse cause I need more! That heavy compression + big kick(when it's done RIGHT) is like a hot injection of some interstellar space dust drug...

But yeah, I've said it so much it's almost spam but "HIGH ON" is the summer in outer space jam for all time

actually, did anyone hear that kris menace "stars on 33" thing that came out last year? that was mega-filtered.

Vahid I've been listening to those Jess & Crabbe live on Cassius FM mixes again. So amazing. The beginning of the second disc that starts with that fantastic (who is it?) remix of "Killer", then goes into Romanthony, and then "Take Me With You"... Wow.

I just picked up "Bad Trooperz" on secondhand vinyl. Great stuff.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 10:28 (5 years ago) Permalink

Anyone mention Motorbass 'Pansoul' and those Superdiscount 12s?
I feel like a lot of the filtering is drawn from a few chicago &
detroit records. Paperclip People 'Throw' in particular, though
filtering is a trick thats been used since disco djs hit the decks.

I just tried to search for any mentions of Impulsion on ILX and only came up with an offhand reference to their greatness from Donut, who I know also loves The Micronauts, which is the group that Christophe Monier concentrated on after the Impulsion album Love Addict came out in 1998. (strangely I've never heard the Micronauts' album Bleep to Bleep even though it's a discount bin staple)

Anyways, Impulsion: I read a review of Love Addict way back in 1999 that said it was amazing and compared it favourably to Remedy. At the time it was harder to track down music not released in my country than it is now, and after a desultory search I gave up. I've thought of them later on from time to time and wondered what they were like, but never enough to do anything about my ignorance.

But I just picked up a secondhand vinyl copy of the single "The Trip" and it is the awesomeness, totally the sort of crazy dark french house I was talking about on this thread many years ago, but bleeding into jaxx/new horizons style, er, wonky punk garage, which is probably the style I most want to revive at the moment. I love the Van Helden style camp flashy agression of the snare patterns.

Also recently picked up Monier's Rockers Delight: The Rock Sound of Darkest Paris, which is a Monier retrospective (1990-1996) cunningly disguised as a compilation. It's neither as rocky, nor, TBH, as pivotal as it would like to pretend. But it's worth the price of admission for Dr. Love & Nature's "La Nouvelle", another classic slice of french house going into the dark void.

Any other recommendations along these lines?

Tim "The Trip" is crazy

― deej, Friday, 4 April 2008 18:24 (5 years ago) Permalink

tim i think there's a certain value to the fact that "rocker's delight" is not terribly pivotal or crucial. in a certain way, it's better for its anonymity.

ha ha ha ha HOLY SHIT i'm quoted on monier's website

That's great Vahid - those reviews one writes when not writing a review are always best. I should note that I think Rocker's Delight is excellent - I even picked it up on CD as well. But the whole marketing strategy reminds me of those false compilations you see called "Hottest Jungle" or the like which then have no artist names, and as you peer at it you suddenly realise this a single artist trying to cash in on consumer dilettantism.

Any feedback on the Monier/Micronauts double disc retrospective released last year?

Glad you like "The Trip" deej.

REVIVE because I've been listening back through the l'age d'or and seeing what still appeals after all this time.

Demon vs. Heartbreaker "You Are My High" still brings the shivers. That little high synth line in the verse just rips my heart out still! Also interesting to have a fresh listen to the Vitalic "remix." Basically a whole new track, eh? I can't access Discogs from here, but if I recall it came out before the Poney EP. Or at least around the exact same time. Interesting in retrospect to see that dude's trajectory from there.

The two Waves comps. Both great. Still lean a bit in favor of II. The highs of the mix are just so good. "Carnivale," "Loaded." Whatever happened to Archigram. A never-released Madonna remix from like '05 and then crickets. Bummer.

Together, "Together." A tune even some of my not-into-dance friends can't deny. Once I got it my head that the bassline is essentially the 90210 theme, it's hard to NOT hear that, though!

Ettiene De Crecy, Tempovision. Great great album. Lotsa nuance in the production and Lotsa good melancholy flowing through it. And that 11 minute closer could go on for another 11.

Bangalter's Tracks On Da Rox and some of the Irreversible sdtk stuff. At its best (and darkest) it's like V said 8 years ago: "oh the night is never going to end"

Anyone pulling any of this stuff out lately?

That Muzka mix may not be perfectly assembled but it sounded amazing on the bus to work as the sun was shining this morning. I live in hope of re-issues of everything from Crydamoure, Roule and We Rock Music, sometimes this stuff is just the greatest stuff in the world.
