i gave don solaris another chance for andrews sake but after the 20th listen now it is pretty much garbage but bond and azura are ok but that is not saying much!

not sure why rephlex put that out, newbuild is a perfectly formed document, all killer no filler. prebuild just sounds like outtakes, and it should have stayed that way. Curious enough for die hard acid heads like myself, but for historical purposes.

sad news. he used to work in eastern bloc in manchester circa 1990 when he was half of the spinmasters dj crew with darren partington. i used to buy records over the phone from eastern bloc. i'd phone up once a week and he'd play the latest belgian imports over the phone and i'd buy some, which nowadays seems an insane way to do record shopping. anyway, he was a lovely guy and would always refer to a particularly great belgian techno 12" as a "stormtrooper". i always got a kick out of that. gone too soon!

I saw them supported by K Klass and MC Tunes at Sheffield Octagon in '90 and was tripping at the time and it was a fun stupid night. Never really rated them that highly tbh but that memory was good!
