-808 state (!?!?) - outpost transmission yes! i was in shock when i opened the envelope that contained it. it's pretty good so far, but i've only listened to it twice. i need to give it another listen or two before it totally sinks in. it's on universal/shadow. sweet! guess I gotta chase that one down... 808 state has always rocked my house though don solaris took time to sink in.. which is to say, it was good, but it got better :D
ulrich schnauss - far away trains passing by (superb stuff.... got his forthcoming one on mp3s last night, blew me away again)
argh! i can't find this cd anywhere! long deleted i guess. i see the occasional vinyl copy on ebay, but as cool as vinyl is, i'd much rather have the cd right now. what label is the new one coming out on? have you heard the live set he did for Default (uk)? it used to be available on their website, but i'm pretty sure he requested that they take it down. it's fantastic. that was actually my introduction to him. both old & new cds are released on the City Centre Offices label: http://www.city-centre-offices.de/
found the first one on sale in a few places: http://www.insound.com/annex/searchalpha.cfm?searchby=U http://tonevendor.com/item/5062 http://www8.gemm.com/c/search.pl?sid=360882957&key=2627&a_refno=GML570973055 granted, it's not easy to find it on sale... which is a real shame this is album is just *so* excellent... absolutely top recommendations on it and yes, I heard that live set he did at Default, grabbed the crap quality mp3 the week it was put up and... *wow* I was blown away... granted, having heard the new album now, I can understand why he'd want the mp3 taken down, considering it contains about half of each album, plus some other tracks, but it's still a crying shame... his stuff is just too beautiful not to be heard =) I've sung his praise at every opportunity, spammed that live show to everybody & their dog on irc etc etc... --- Agust "nemesis1" - aaj@centrum.is - ICQ: 1290264 - http://nem1.cjb.net free your :) [tm]
