Techno/House Bobbins of the past

El Tomboto, that track has a lot going on if you listen past the first minute or two.

I dunno, I really love Surgeon and think he's a masterful artist and DJ, but I guess I hold controversial opinions everywhere on this board lol

i thought surgeon was pretty popular around here? i really like his work from 97-01, especially the tresor albums and early counterbalance 12s. i love love love the counterbalance collection mix cd from 2001, probably the greatest drum loop techno statement of purpose from someone not named jeff mills that exists. british murder boys was aight but honestly i cooled off on him alot when he got very eclectic and laptoppy around 2007.

i think the fabric mix was when i pretty much gave up - now i hear he's doing like modular ambient music? lol

Unexpected 2004 classic from from Dark Nites on otherwise unmemorable Aquamelon label. All time record, didn't realize it was on youtube!

surgeon’s great! would def take any random surgeon track over any random autechre track imho. but some of his stuff is just flavorless. Yes I know how to use the ffwd button to get to the good parts of techno songs. Thanks for the tip.

Tombot, then how could you call that remix 'soulless loops'? It's nowhere near peak Surgeon!

And no need to get tetchy.

Erasure - Stay With Me (NY mix). Francois Kevorkian mix from 1995. It was hiding in plain sight all along!

That is the shit.

Surgeon probably peaked with the Counterbalance EPs c. 2000. From his recent albums, "Breaking the Frame" was excellent, and albums (as Anthony Child) for Editions Mego were really good too.

Indeed, we were! I like most Surgeon, even the loop-based hard minimal stuff, but the Counterbalance stuff is the best.

speaking of cycling, this is getting a fresh repress in january
