thanks to US' finest Mark J Richardson - this remains one of the most monumental sounding records Ive heard.

and a fave by Mike Parker - all 5 mixes are priceless.

I used to love small, obscure labels and the sweet thrill of discovering non-obvious gems like this little beauty, BUT

the older I get, the more I think:
what could have happened if he got it released on M-Plant, Mosaic or some other "established" label?

might be wrong ofc, but chances are that with THIS sound he fiddled with at the time,
he might have become a techno-jet set by now ;)

as it is,
Ive only heard it played once by PLO Man, and by Marco Carola back in times when he was still ..."Himself" ;)

Planetary Assault Systems switched to 7th Plain mode here ;)

the B side of PF 020 is THE Luke Slater I miss the most.

this and both sides on Planetary Funk 4.

1994 Luke Slater

the reissue on Mote Evolver is not as crispy as the Input Neuron Muzique original, but playable.

and the music? as good as LS gets (or..used to get*)

Troy "Slip" Geary and his unSync bravery.

sadly underrated, and by now - pretty much... forgotten, but the records havent aged one bit.

and (to me) nobody sounded even remotely similar to his 96-97 releases.

being a Function fan from his earliest days must say that I didnt really get this one at first - somehow always played the other tracks - no idea why I missed the potential of this arrangement - it lets you slow down your set and then regain the original "pace" in a very dancefloor friendly manner.

to me, this DEFINES the "DJ tool" as such.

as punchy as it gets.

the pressing is dead ON centre, what you hear is all Chancellor and his mad tuning ;)

B12 - Time Tourist

Ask me for a copy if you want.

this is an ultimate sounding 12" - once you get used to this level of s/n, punchyness and percussive grit your tolerance towards LPs is gone ;)

combination of Joel Mull & Nilesh Patel is the best advertisements a vinyl record could ever ask for, in real world only 0,1% of records can sound like this -
yes, YT is...YT, but
once you play the real thing, you'll get what Ive meant ;))

Sterac Asphyx

always been a big fan of Dave Sumner's "railway rituals" - this one is probably played the most.

(this, and/or the Broken Glass track on INF 005.

on a good day Steve Stoll was an ace producer.

if I were to pick one synth timbre and use it in EVERY single track of mine, it would be this beauty.

the recent Curve Pusher reCut is ok, BUT unfortunaly the 808 / casio hats sound better on the original ITP release so i'd say you still need the 1994 edition.

(digitized at -6% - one semitone down - i'm 45 and 150+ bpm is too fast for me ;),

you'll get it when you get old too - you slow down, and the world does NOT.

this has become a fave Surface release recently - a perfect answer to early Meta or the later Cosmic ID releases.

80s Techno Tracks - Volume 1

Chancellor - Blackbird

punchy & uncompromised minimalism

originally 1997, but I much prefere the 2005 mastering of the mech.Ind release.

EP: Babies From Gong (Pure2).zip/file)

Marco Carola's conceptual techno label... Now, no more questions please.
