back to basics

folks.

i have been far too wordy in recent times. lets cut the crap and get back to basics.

some news : sway is to tour, his single, 'little derek' is out now, (wasn't overly impressed with 'download', but i still reckon the man could break the uk hip hop genre open). the album, 'this is my demo' is out early feb. we shall soon now if the man has it. more detail : here

it has been a few weeks since a new prefuse 73 record hit the intray, so its with mucho smiles i can reveal that there is a new mini-album/cd-ep whatever is about to be released on warp, 'security screenings'. follows on from the album and mini album last year and features more folks like four tet. initial plays reveals this to be a fine fine record, certainly one that easier to love than the other release on warp that's on its way by a post-rock/freeform setup called 'battles'. their double cd-ep, 'ep c/b ep', is somewhat hard going. working on that one.

 

best of the bunch today has to be a new compialtion that dj morpheus has passsed my way. titled 'i cant live without radio', the set reveals that the 80's music scene was indeed a lot more interesting that culture club, duran duran and leg warmers, that any historical shows re that most cursed of decades would have you believe. of course, for yours truly, i dug beneath the radio/tv playlists and found my own world.

and from the looks of ths tracklisting of this compilation i was not alone :

jeff and jane hudson - los alamos
the residents - kaw-liga (moody boys remix)
virgin prunes - pagan lovesong
medioum medium - hungry, so angry
love and rockets - ball of confusion (7" mix)
heaven 17 - we dont need this fascist groove thang
shriekback - accretions (monstrous dance mix)
that petrol emotion - dance your ass off
head - i can't stop (mental metal mix)
world domination enterprises - i can live without my radio
timezone - world destruction
age of chance - kiss
the thrill kill kult - the devil does drugs
taboo - number 6
400 blows vs 23 skidoo - g.i (joakim edit)
einsturzende neubauten - yu-gung (a sherwood mix)

of course, the presence of age of chance makes this album special for me, but there really are some excellent reasons to track this down. note however, that so far this album has no uk release date. so its over to the wire to track down your own copy of this, and you should. if only to hear the most fantastic shriekback remix ever.

bugger. i meant to keep this posting short.

sorry.
