Depending On What You Want/Wish For

I recently acquired it (the magazine too). Why? I already knew that/I thought the collection was complete. It turned out to be incomplete, catastrophic. Missing tracks from Funkstörung, “Viceversa”. I searched the discs. They were not to be found. Among the missing: the Jay-jay Johnson remix? Have I never heard it before? Then it must… Continue reading Depending On What You Want/Wish For

System Burial?

“No sound can test, so you can bring them on.” Wow, that’s funny and quite a claim apart from being an excellent opening track and one, two or possibly three quite heavy samples. Fabio & Groove upsetting again. Lovely!

Hail, The Haley Brothers!

Somatic Responses. Consistency. Always so beautifully consequently distorted. Every time. And has been so for a very long time. It used to be called “hardcore” and I for one think that it is still a deserved title. It is properly intense music, that I’ve come to understand over time. Rude soundin’ music. The best kept… Continue reading Hail, The Haley Brothers!

Hjärtstartare/Cardiac Arrest

The actual defibrillator seems to be missing. There’s a hand-written comment on the “FELANMÄLD” note that reads: “Tom sedan september” it would equate to: “Emtpy since September” (I am assuming the month of September last year, that would be anno Domini 2017). If the comment is indeed true and if it is currently January 2018… Continue reading Hjärtstartare/Cardiac Arrest

Reminisce III

Brothomstates ‎– Claro – Warp Records ‎– WARP88CD – Released: 17 Sep 2001 Unexplainably good album.

Reminisce II

2004. It was so cool and southing sounding. Bringing hope of less aggressive times. A timeless album because the opening track is something else: “Peace Of Mind”. Classic neo-electro.

Reminisce I

For all the kids. I really, really did not like what Dr. Dre did then, back in 1999. Not, entirely alone about that, then robbing funk and “soul music”, blindley, and the East-West constructed conflict that ended so tragically. Yet, it is an epic album. So many good rappers (did you ever hear of Eminem?)… Continue reading Reminisce I

More Dolor

No punt intended… well that’s actually not entirely true. Never mind that, if you like “Gun City”, “Sister” and the recently mentioned “5 9. 0”? Then there’re two more: “Ruby” and “Ara”. Equally excellent and brilliant contemporary electronic stuff. I mean something, anything containing a title/track called: “Sorry, Prince (Wenh U Wwere Mine Cover)” and… Continue reading More Dolor
