i would say it's on the low-end of dorado releases. the high-end being a.p.e.'s "striplight", sunship, maybe cool breeze. the middle-end being "criminal justice". the low-end being jhelisa, BFE, etc. i think i have a pretty high tolerances for this sort of stuff and i'm not too enthused on it.

i did like 'D*votion' altho it is very 'incidental music for holiday tv show'

Damn, can someone provide a tracklist for the cooley high (middle link) clip?
New Dance Show video clips are just in a league of their own aren't they?

I've been trying to get that nu-groove record with 'searchin' on it for years, whether in mp3 or on wax but no luck

Grrr.
Anyway the question I wanted to ask was can anyone recommend some more dark dubbed out sleazy sounding 90s new jersey garage along the lines of Angel Moraes "Sounds so good" (http://www.discogs.com/release/45648), Jay Naz "all bridges lead to brooklyn" (http://www.discogs.com/release/45648) or (more leftfield) Evelyn Jean - "Town near you" (http://www.discogs.com/release/125073)???
Also: would love to know more about this guy (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Big+Moses) as I used to listen to "Brighter Days" pretty much daily and always wanted to dig deeper into that whole Xtian garage thing but never really knew how...

PLANETARY ASSAULT SYSTEMS

The other day I got this:
http://www.discogs.com/release/62975
at a record store. Netto (or Netto Houz): "Fan Of The Underground" on Ladomat from 1996. A beautiful record. Completely overlooked by my when it originally came out. Like a very german kid of Nu Groove and Non-Jazz-Prescription. Really great. Especially track A1 and B1. Anybody heard this?
― Tobias Rapp, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 22:24 (fifteen years ago) link
you guys could make your own shirt that looked like that for the cost of a tshirt and a sharpie
― deej, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 22:41 (fifteen years ago) link
i know im borderline "my kid could paint that!" here but fuck, its a $70 tshirt

sorry, that was labored
seriously though ... recommend some tracks.
sorry to say i only know "tv people", "artemis" and "switchback".
sort of derrick may lite, no?

haven't listened to it for ages but the album luke slater recorded under his 7th Plain alias ('the 4 cornered room') is ace. like the guy on discogs says - it's more IDM orientated than his PAS moniker.

matt cogger (neuropolitique) worked for transmat for a while in the 1980s, so he does sound like derrick may. i wouldn't call it lite or polite, however. check 'faze' and 'idiotic lantern'. all of the shit he did for irdial records is available at the internet archive: http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Airdial&sort=-publicdate
― elan, Thursday, 29 May 2008 17:29 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm down w/ the irdial archive - i think i started a thread about it at some point - but i'll check those tracks!
driving to work today i decided to listen to "the deepest shade of techno". 3 minutes into "jupiter jazz" i started to weep. no joke! crying like a baby!
this illustrates
a) need medication b) the power and majesty of underground resistance

i just finally picked up the World 2 World 12" with Jupiter Jazz on it this weekend, i love that song so much but i hadn't even realised i only had it on CD. what a stunning record. UR tunes (especially when performed live!) have brought me to tears on numerous occasions, i dont think any medication aside from more UR in your life is necessary ;)
― pipecock, Friday, 30 May 2008 03:03 (fifteen years ago) link
the flipside of that record is vasty underrated.
It is a shame that Hi-Tech Jazz doesn't have the profile of Jupiter Jazz because it is so much better. Jupiter Jazz seems very concise whereas Hi-Tech Jazz seems a lot more sprawling and ambitious. It is one of those records that is so advanced that it is intimidating. How do you get to a place mentally where you can conceive and execute musical ideas like that.
It is raw and expressive, but there is more sophistication in any 16 bars of that track then there are in any random 50 tracks that get gushing praise on the 2008 bobbins thread. Mike Banks is easily one of the 10 top musical minds of all genres that came out of Detroit. He is second only to Juan Atkins as far as Detroit electronic music is concerned.
― Display Name, Friday, 30 May 2008 03:22 (fifteen years ago) link
"hi-tech jazz" is great! but it always makes me happy, whereas "jupiter jazz" makes me sad. i think it's the human voice samples in "jupiter jazz" that get me. the other one that makes me cry is "amazon". but maybe that's just the tree hugger in me, i remember one time that atrocious coldcut song that sampled amazonian logging operations ("timber"?) made me cry.
also: "the theory (melanic mix)", "return of the dragons", "nation 2 nation", "303 sunset", "inspiration", "transition" ...
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 May 2008 03:51 (fifteen years ago) link
soft feminine detroit techno UR >> ruff rugged raw detroit electro UR
which is interesting because there's plenty of other stuff on submerge is much better when it's explicitly dancier ... i'm thinking drexciya, for one ...

yeah but the other thing is that the whole "nation 2 nation" / "world 2 world" / "galaxy 2 galaxy" set just lords over everything else in the UR catalog like it ain't even funny.
and i understand where you're coming from re: 2008 bobbins but i think its more to do w/ getting old? i consider myself pretty sympathetic to the "new techno" cause and i can't get too worked up about very much of that stuff myself (hello, i'd rather listen to ken ishii and planetary assault systems!)
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 May 2008 03:56 (fifteen years ago) link
well, excepting "knights of the jaguar", i guess
hey, here's an interesting one i was mulling over on the way to work:
t/s: octave one vs mad mike
or maybe
t/s: 430 west vs UR (label)
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 May 2008 03:58 (fifteen years ago) link
oh, duh, KotJ *was* on 430 west

hmm i always felt hi tech jazz and amazon were way bigger 'hits' than jupiter jazz
