Wise strategy, Wrongo.

Yeah but isn't it annoying how all the funk basslines on My Way sound identical???

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 24 June 2004 06:29 (nineteen years ago) link

they don't!!!

you should also check his stuff as anna kaufen - he's done some wicked, admittedly skippy, but seriously bouncy tracks that work like a dream in club sets, precisely *because* they're so punchy and propulsive - and yeah jess, they do mix fantastically with dem 2 et al.

Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Thursday, 24 June 2004 08:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah Anna Kaufen stuff is more club-friendly.

All the basslines on the "Deck The House"-ish tracks on the album sound like they were played on the same bass preset.

"nd that his next record will sound much different, if that show as anything to go by."

uh oh if his next record is anythign like the last live show I saw of his, then we are in trouble. granted, that was in a tate lecture room, and we were all sitting down, but it was limpid rubbish, just a lot of wishy washy ambient preset noises, and some dead cheesy water running samples and those silly jungle bird calls last heard on Enigma and every Bukem tune ever. IT was meant to be music for hsi friends unborn child, lets hope he keeps it on a private basis....

and dave yeah i second the anna kaufen idea. that are like the 'club' akufen. well the one 12" i have is decent.

and well, if when you are talking about the 'funk bassline', you mean 'deck the house', then that is the most pussy bassline ever. i remember everyone on ILM raving about it when it came out, but it is totally lame. like, it would be ok, but its so polite. Pump it up man, you released it on 12", you want it played in a club so just tweak the levels or something! i mean, honestly. maybe he shoudl have released it as anna kaufen ,then he would have had license to properly beef it up.

the senor coconut track is embarassing

why do some people just have to be wacky?

benito mussolinington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 01:06 (nineteen years ago) link

that's a hell of a question to ask here!

s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 02:08 (nineteen years ago) link

you don't have to be crazy to post here--but it helps!!! smile

s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 02:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Actually this is a really good cd. It flows nicely. And tiny little 8 inch jack is genius.

Jacob (Jacob), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 04:09 (nineteen years ago) link

i really like that sr coconut track (well, the sieg uber die sonne mix), but it's really out of place on this disc, especially the placement it's given. akufen is actually a very good dj, but the way the coconut track comes in makes it sound like this mix is in fact digital.

philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 14:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Why this huge persistence on what isn't right on My Way, when the three Psychometry twelves are all brilliant, and the Quebec Whorehouse possibly the greatest microhouse track?!

___ (___), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 14:25 (nineteen years ago) link

otm about that perlon release. also "the unexpected guest" = one of my favorite moments about superlongevity 2

i heard he did it in traktor somewhere. in fact i think it was a bit of promo copy for the cd but now i can't find it.

vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:16 (nineteen years ago) link

why do some people just have to be wacky?

This is Akufen for me. Maybe I'll get this mix though, and give him a chance.

Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 17:27 (nineteen years ago) link

and the Quebec Whorehouse possibly the greatest microhouse track?!

that ep for me defines the whole genre and negates any arguements about akufen tracks not working in clubs. no bassline and yet the whole ep TOTALLY causes it on the dancefloor every time. i'm on my third copy.

stirmonster, Tuesday, 29 June 2004 17:49 (nineteen years ago) link

oh i guess i should have mentioned that despite this glaring error, i loved this mix.

benito mussolinington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 19:58 (nineteen years ago) link

when i saw that in the tracklist it was reminiscent of avenue d in that erlend oye dj kicks mix

tricky disco, Tuesday, 29 June 2004 20:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Okay, so the "whorehouse" e.p. I have is a double pack with red and yellow graphics all over it, one track to a side, and no labelling apart from different colours on the typefaces. Is that the one you refer to as "Quebec Whorehouse"?

Because yeah, it's the greatest micro track ever.

Jacob (Jacob), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 00:06 (nineteen years ago) link

yup, that's the one - the perlon doublepack with 'whorehouse new process' and 'quebec nightclub'.

stirmonster, Wednesday, 30 June 2004 00:12 (nineteen years ago) link

I luv luv luv "The Unexpected Guest". I think the biggest problem with My Way is that it didn't have more tracks like this or "Quebec Nightclub" on it to balance the zaniness.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 00:37 (nineteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...
yeah this cd is pretty good! even senor cocount is ok?! mixed in really crummily but hell. i like this better than the michael mayer one

ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 16 July 2004 12:14 (nineteen years ago) link

i hate all you people. i have to wait untill sept to get it here in my little corner of the planet.

dyson (dyson), Friday, 16 July 2004 13:34 (nineteen years ago) link

two years pass...

been listening to this alot recently: herbert > soul capsule mix of freaks > crackhaus is just fucking obscene

creme1, Saturday, 2 June 2007 02:26 (sixteen years ago) link

this is what the jesse rose body language should've sounded like

creme1, Saturday, 2 June 2007 02:27 (sixteen years ago) link

fourteen years pass...

*removes 08 Senor Coconut - Smoke On The Water*

ah, perfect

missingNO, Friday, 15 October 2021 05:20 (two years ago) link

Had completely forgotten about this mix. The tracklist certainly captures a moment in time.
