Some good choices gents, of note; Beastie's (not listened to that for ages - well remembered), Fatboy Slim, Bomb The Bass and finally Rythym & Sound (possibly my favourite track on the list so far - HEAVY! You can just get lost/drown in that bassline - ridiculous).
Sorry for lack of attention, time keeping, tardiness - it's never through lack of listening to records, trust me! I've moved back into electronica mode recently so thought I'd share some tracks which have been feeling good in the moody weather:
1) Ulrich's Revtone remix - from Warren's GU30 in Paris. Watch your email inboxes. BEAUTIFUL.
2) One Dove - epic. S picked from this LP already but this had to go on. The haunting little vocal snippets are awesome.... lovely overall production - I find it very uplifting.
3) Four Tet - cheerful little guitar sample, always raises a smile - doesn;t go anywhere but doesn't need to!
4) Yppah - moody big beat track with lush melodies.... reminds me very much of Shadow.
5) Alarm Will Sound do Aphex Twin (figuratively) - sadly Richard's version isn't on Spot (check ya mail) but this version will suffice. Was reminded of this whilst watching a film at the weekend and have been caning it non stop since then. What's nice is that classical pianists are covering an electronic artist who used a machine/module to immitate a classical piano - I like that 'real'/ organic musicians realise that this is a superb melody and want to play their own version, despite the fact that it was written by what the majority of society would deem to be a 'button pusher'... I think tracks like this along with the Maxence Cyrin LP are proof, if it was ever needed, that electronic music can compete on emotional levels with classical music. Melancholic, simple, emotive.
