Found myself with a few spare minutes and
dollars this afternoon so i was able to get the
following:
. Fennesz: Il Libro Mio 3" cd (Tanz Hotel)
- 4 tracks/20 minutes of superb fennesz/mego-style electro-ambience.
. Fennesz: Plays 7" (Mego)
- Fennesz does two deconstructed mego-styled remakes of
Rolling Stones and Beach Boys tracks.
. Pan Sonic vs Thomas Brinkmann: s/t 12" (Variations of Friends)
- No info on the label of this one but from what i understand Brinkmann
continues his variations series this time taking on Mika Vainio's tracks.
More quirky than previous brinkann works.
. Chris De Luca: Unknown 12" (Chocolated Industries)
- Four tracks of solid melodic Funkstroungish electronica with a remix
by richard divine.
. Max Kahlen: Urwerk 12" (Strom)
- Hot profanish minimal techno that that Thomas Brinkmann introduced
me to last week. If you downloaded the Brinkmann live mp3 from the
bent crayon site, then you'll know what this one sounds like because this
is the record he started his set with and played for the first 10 minutes
with his two-tonearm setup.
. Various Artists remix 12" (Fatcat)
- Two superb deep bc/cr remixes by pole and monolake. Plus two uptempo
remixes by Funkstroung and Autechre. The best one is the Pole mix with
the least favorite being the autechre mix - too monotone & repetitive for me.
. Transient Waves: s/t 12" (Fatcat)
- Three spacey post rock tracks from Darla artists Transient waves with
two remixes by Two Lone Swordsmen and Stryke (Stasis). The TLS mix
is typical Weatherall melodic wierdness. The Stryke mix is a funky Urban
Tribe-sounding mix.
Full reviews of all the above coming soon. Recoreviews will return
later this week.
