I made this awhile ago. This is my contribution to this thread.

I don't really like bad religion either, for what it's worth.

"Progress" > anything Justice will ever do.

Just listened to that and have to disagree.

I'm not sure why people don't "get" Justice. I mean, if you don't like their music that's fine, but the appeal isn't anything mysterious.

I believe this was the intended cover art for the Fabriclive mix:

Yeah, saw that commercial the other day. That is easily my favorite song on the album.

(Cadillac also use one of my favorite Dntel songs, "Last Songs", in another Escalade commercial...)

justice DJing at sonar this year was like the death of music it made me feel so bad. mpeople for fuck sake

they played M People?

'Genesis' really is a spectacular piece of work imo, however you may feel about the density or bluntness of the sounds. The breathing/chorus sound at the start of 'Valentine' is also amazing.

Genesis is the best song they've done in my opinion.

it would be awesome if the people who thought justice was the death of music could, like, try to articulate why thats the case

Not one band, or even a number of bands could lead to the death of music.
That's just silly.

who are these people

remember that guy who called Moby's 'Hotel' the death of music?

well, music sure showed him.

Nothing can kill music.
Not even everyones ears being chopped off.

what about their hands?

I've seen people play with their toes...accept the music would be mostly drums and piano...

I'm assuming the reason Fabric didn't release that Justice mix is because its kind of embarrassing.

they like a laugh and a joke.

i think the Justice mix is pretty good apart from a few too many obvious/played out cuts (Korgis and some of the stuff towards the end i can't remember right now). it does sound more like a Back To Mine granted.

i was hoping they'd put that Syreeta Wright track from their Essential Mix on it but this has since turned up on the new Fatboy Slim Late Night Tales heh

and? what's the problem?

maybe it was 'search for the hero'

the real reason the fabric mix got knocked back?

De Rosnay dismisses rumours that Fabric were disappointed with disco and synth pop that he admits went “beyond the limit of cheesiness” because they were expecting a genre-defining maximal mix, but the official story is just as telling. Fabric compilations must clear a maximum of 24 tracks in 70-75 minutes, and Justice’s proposal ran through as many tracks in just over half the allotted time, mixed with the same verse-chorus-next track approach as the block party pioneers who invented turntablism. De Rosnay comments: “It’s funny that a club which is supposed to have a knowledge of dance music would slam us on our knowledge. They were a bit like 'Wow, are you making fun of us?’”

M People certainly have better tunes than anything I've heard from Justice.

makes you wonder how As Heard On Radio Soulwax CDs ever got cleared

mixed with the same verse-chorus-next track approach as the block party pioneers who invented turntablism

errrrrrrrr

I've never heard of this "approach" in any history of DJing. Sounds more like a megamix.

it's not exactly unfamiliar, but it's not 'turntablism' either.

Yeah.

It was at these free neighborhood parties that DJ Kool Herc defined his style that would lead to the hip-hop movement. Herc would get two copies of the same record and focus on a small part of each record, called the break. As one record reached the end of the break, he would cue the other record back to the beginning of the break, thereby extending a relatively small part of a record into a long "five-minute loop of fury" play a bit of 'Rocker', and then 'Seven Nation Army' up to the first chorus. The neighborhood parties became too big for his building and moved from Sedgwick Avenue to the nearby Twilight Zone club; hip-hop began to spread around the city.

i knew what they meant

well you can buy them all on Amazon new so they must be legit now (tho they may not have been for some time after release of vol 2)

are there any justice live-sets out there??

lots

the question remains.

Does †(Pretentious symbol) = french dance?

If so, what about †(Spencer Chow)?

Can a Fourier series be built out of &dagger(t) (time) or †(f) (frequency)?

I dunno about that. Most indie-label rap artists don't clear their samples and still get sold on Amazon. They also sell Girl Talk, and nothing was cleared there. I don't think Amazon takes an interest because they can't or won't be held liable for any infringements unless it's something brazenly illegal like copied cds.

lol, they are on 'waxed soul recordings'.

LOVELY new video for DVNO: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e_XzCR2MbrU

radio soulwax pt2 was indeed the only official one.
when released, the bands website had the full story of the clearance nightmares - was quite a read.
it took them years to get it all sorted/cleared.
i would suggest that the other parts were released semi-officially by the band themselves as opposed to properly by a label.
(see all those UNKLE mixtapes and the whole hip hop groove as mentioned above)

retro logo fun!
