Ten and Tracer, Keylemon Reports [Inc.Us – INC.US006, 2001]

A very nice release from Ten and Tracer on Inc.Us, the vinyl section of the Belgian U-cover label. This six track 12″ contains a selection of warm and slightly melancholic compositions. You could quite easily come up with an association, music wise, but in all honesty that would be unfair to the artist and this… Continue reading Ten and Tracer, Keylemon Reports [Inc.Us – INC.US006, 2001]

Sierra Romeo, Nevel [FWD – FWD2001, 2000]

The first release on the Dutch [FWD label was honored to Arovane and this the second, to Sierra Romeo and the result was this four-track 12″. First up is “nevel” a sweet sounding track with sounds reminiscent of early tupilaq recordings. Which naturally is a good thing! It is followed by “carcass” a minimal, slightly… Continue reading Sierra Romeo, Nevel [FWD – FWD2001, 2000]

Christ, Pylonesque EP [Benbecula – BEN 016, 2002]

Wicked stuff from Christ on the benbecula label.

Starting of with “dream of the endless”, a track that compels you to listen and making it impossible to miss… Continue reading Christ, Pylonesque EP [Benbecula – BEN 016, 2002]

Peter Benisch, Benisch Tracks 1 [Eevo Lute Music & Technology, 2002]

A four track 12″ signed Peter Benisch that starts of with “Sabine’s song”. A sweet, sweet, sweet melody on a blueprint Benisch track, that is, the sounds and production bears his unmistakable insignia. Which would make it a sweet track and all and all that’s exactly what it is. The second track “Faster than light”… Continue reading Peter Benisch, Benisch Tracks 1 [Eevo Lute Music & Technology, 2002]

Quench, O.M. – X.H. [Inc.US – INC.US010, 2002]

Quench’s “O.M. – X.H.” release on Inc.Us is yet another strong release. With multiple releases on DUB, an album on U-cover and on Eat This they continue their musical mission.

Funckarma, Part 5 [DUB Recordings – DUB 23, 2002]

Complex beats, plenty of bass and the lushest sounding melodies, as you would expect from this outstanding group: Funckarma. They are releasing records in a furious tempo right now, and this, the fifth part in their parts’ series is simply brilliant. It doesn’t get any better than this (well that’s my opinion anyhow.) DUB recordings… Continue reading Funckarma, Part 5 [DUB Recordings – DUB 23, 2002]
