Best e.p. ever :-D
Slightly more techno than Alchochofa too? That surprised me a little. It's definitely at the same quality level though. I think I'd still give top marks to the former for it's... muscularity?
This, and listening again to Alchochofa the other day and being totally refreshed and surprised (before the thread got revived btw) made me wonder if I haven't overrated the Isolee record too. They seem to come from a similar place, but I think Ricardo might be even more touched with genius/magic/insanity somehow.

i thought i'd lost interest in RV after Au Harem, but this is great.

I'd say the influence has teturned to the dancefloor as...Early IDM -> Glitch, Micro-House/TechnoLate IDM -> Dubstep??
(maybe)

This e.p. kind of melts the whole damn deal of classifying things anyway. I can even hear Deep House, Trance and Ambient in there at times but it could be the THC hasn't worn off from last nights listen :/
― fandango (fandango), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:09 (eighteen years ago) link
Mid-period IDM (glitch, clicks'n'cuts, late berlin dub) -> ???
I have no idea where wtf "Electro-House" fits here... I think I need to leave this thread because I am very confused.

I think Duso is my favorite track on it! I guess it's "dry" but it's sooo ... twinkly ... not nearly as dark as anything on Au Harem ...

I haven't heard the Mix CD but that's surprising I guess. What score did they give to the Loco Dice part of it (as he was on the covermount mix just recently)?
― fandango (fandango), Thursday, 19 January 2006 21:45 (eighteen years ago) link
It's tricky for me to reconcile the idea of drugged out sweaty dancing with the mental minimalism I get out of listening to Villalobos on headphones or at home, though. Maybe the pictures of overly-tanned people would help.

e-publications >>> print media as far as 'dance' is concerned for me.

also, they called microhouse "controversial". haha! the NERVE of these germans!
yeah mixmag still sucks and it's surprisingly reactionary and they big up lots of bad music ... blue states-type indie-meets-couchtronica and bad conscious hip-hop and stuff like damon albarn projects and so on.
but i still find it useful ... 1st as a way of finding out about good under-the-radar mainstream house mixes and discs (like, what's kerri chandler up to? ILM / blogosphere is not so good for that).
more importantly, it's good devils-advocate for the lizard-brain. i am afraid if i DON'T read mersh-mags like mixmag and DJ i will wake up one day surrounded by a stack of tresor and cocoon CDs and i will be going "why the fuck am i listening to this clicky-crap instead of brandy or cam'ron?"
IOW mixmag at least has a healthy respect for pop thrillz, something mags like the wire and grooves and even xlr8r and urb sometimes miss out on.

haha, yeah I follow you completely about wanting to keep an eye on the rest of (non-ILM) dance, and that even a bad 'zine can be useful as a barometer of other stuff. Sorry for going off on one there. It's just frustrating as a casual buyer to feel like they're holding so much music back by not giving exposure to "way out" new, changing forms & genres. Dance music conservatism sucks as much as rock mag conservatism I guess.

i only popped the green & blue mixes on briefly but i was sort of shocked at how uneven the villalobos half seemed; i'll have to go back to it and listen again though, because that's a seriously snap judgment.

anyway green and blue. i love the fade in and out, i love the crowd noise, i love the villalobos (sorry, but i skipepd the first few tracks til lthe lil louis tune), but the loco dice side is amazing! sort of cheesy minimal, or the nearest you will get to that. maybe, "ibiza minimal". maybe thats just crap that i thought cos i associate him with ibiza (as per the mixmag cover). but anyway, despite his awful name, im gona keep an eyue out for him. hes playing here in sheff next wek with x press 2 so ill get a better listen. the villalobos side i also love though! the start is a bit weird, but after that it got pretty intense and well, basically techno. it sort of sounds like what i think cologne in 93 sounds like, or stuff that gareth goes on about, or thje sort of thing i think gareth would go on about. like, old techno. theres a really drum heavy bootleg of yellos "bostich" which i subsequently picked up. this cd is great! the liner notes are awful and totallymake me want to live in shiny minimal sexy pool party euro land! just tell me where it is/how to get there!!!! argh

I wonder if that's what Loco Dice's club is like? I heard a Jo Mills set (I think she was resident there at DC10 for a few years until recently) and yeah it was very weird... like really "tasteful" basic house loops but sort-of minimal, and fading in a Kompakt tune every now & then like "Forever Sweet" but not really doing anything with them except fading back out into more really boring house. Odd.
