I think the sound went more dark in 97... for example the xenomorph album and some compilations from flying rhino lab.
my pick would be:
twisted travellers - twisted travelling
that track is storming to say the least. give it a try if you're able to find it.
the new Dan Curtin album I got yesterday! whoaa is it the 4 cups of coffee or is the man just talented or both, who knows, but my every cell is jammin right now...
deep house: theo parrish - sound sculptures
äkiiid: exillon - it's ok to dance
drugprog: shadow fx - direct influence
dåb techno: mikkel metal - brone and wait
curtain techno: dan curtin - we're the ones we've been waiting for
???: inverse cinematics - passin' through
I'm prolly high tonite...
that's a way to go.
now you ought to check out either "pentamerous metamorphosis" or "remotion" which both feature my fav'e track of theirs, delta phase.
FBA - Hidden Emotion
long been only a test-press on vinyl (1997) but this year the album was released on exalt. superb! don't miss this if you like 1) detroit techno 2) analog sound 3) beautiful melodies
Ys ys! PP is THE suomi album for me. Just listened today again and as times goes by I appreciate it more and more. The first one feels like the ideas aren't executed too well...
