Ken Ishii - 'Extra'
Always had a weak spot for Model 500's 'Deep Space' album.

but in fact there's too much to mention released on belgium's premier label...
simply adore Aphex's classics !
gone downhill after the releases of several "classics" compilations (dave angel, joey beltram, model 500), they still had some D&B experiments (cfr fyzical encounters compilations) and tried to hype acts like boom boom satelittes and nowadays they've become awfully quiet. Belgian duo Mo&Benoelie (known from the Eskimo compilations, anyone?) were setting up a new sub but this has been stopped and they took it to Eskimo recordings instead (eg the forthcoming Ray Mang album)

revive, because R&S itself seems to be back as a going concern - that radio slave record from a couple months ago, and now there's a remix 12" ('plastic dreams' and 'mentasm' touched up by audion and redshape, respectively - haven't heard either of those yet, tho). also, did stirmonster say on another thread that he's doing some sort of R&S classics mix for them??

how did this thread turn 6 without a mention of 'stella'?

no outlander huh. too obvious/overused?
― butter tickle (tricky), Thursday, 21 May 2009 19:29 (fourteen years ago) link
Energy Flash & Plastic Dreams are way more obvious/overused than Outlander so I doubt that was a concern.

No "Stella" too.
― Spencer Chow, Thursday, 21 May 2009 20:36 (fourteen years ago) link
it wasn't originally going to include "energy flash" as although it means a great deal to me, after hearing it approx. 10 000 times, i don't really need to hear it again. however, i felt it was such a seminal R&S release that it had to be included, so it makes a brief appearance layered under another track and has been severely cut up. the mix ends with "plastic dreams" as that was more or less my jumping off point with regard to R&S and it was also the track that took them to a global audience so i felt it was fitting for the mix to end there. also, the cd was put together with people who know nothing about R&S in mind rather than for people on a nostalgia / back in the day trip. as "vamp" is still played relentlessly in discotheques everywhere i didn't really feel the need to include it. it is after all not meant to be an R&S greatest hits mix but rather my favourite moments from the back catalogue (some of which the rights were sadly no longer available for).
ps - the chords from "stella" are in there. i guess maybe it needs to be listened to rather than analysed from reading the tracklisting. :-)

ps - here's a wee "beltram bonus beats" outtake if anyone's interested - https://download.yousendit.com/U0d4OU1lYStCSWRMWEE9PQ
― stirmonster, Thursday, 21 May 2009 21:18 (fourteen years ago) link
true true brotherlovesdub. "vamp" is a personal fave, so i immediately noticed its omission.
if all of these are edits, i am going to enjoy this immensely. [went and checked the r&s site and it appears that there are only a "handful of edits".]
xp, ooooh
― butter tickle (tricky), Thursday, 21 May 2009 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link
they chose the "edit" title. i wanted to call it "this was belgium". everything was edited but they're not all edits if that makes sense.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 21 May 2009 21:28 (fourteen years ago) link
nice bonus beats! i am going to attempt to use them in a mix. there's the outlander!
xp, sure does, i like your title better.
― butter tickle (tricky), Thursday, 21 May 2009 21:37 (fourteen years ago) link
thanks for the info + bonus beats. very much appreciated. eager to hear the official mix.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 21 May 2009 22:32 (fourteen years ago) link
just listning to second phase mentasm/mind to mind 12 inch last nite. muzique & beltram thing.
i was always happy when i found random old stuff on r&s in the used bin. i knew it would be interesting somehow.
this is way cool:

anyone have a link to that stirmonster mix? cant find it anywhere.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 15:41 (fourteen years ago) link
I mean if you still want it it's been released as "In Order To Edit" by Optimo. I came to post on this thread asking R&S had ever released any good compilations or retrospectives but I guess this Optimo mix (which prompted me) is already it.

Recently came into a stash of gorgeous Sun Electric albums and EPs. Surprised there's no thread for them yet.

Hello people - just to reiterate and be 100% clear: I have left R&S Records and am currently in the process of signing to a new label. I deplore any / all forms of racism and think everything about this situation is awful. Love to you all x— Lone (@Lone) February 15, 2021
