I got to hear this album about a year before it's launch. It's really great! Reminds me of Hux Flux with all that attention to detail. Check out the long samples @ saiko when it's there...
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
