i think he's more talking about a sub-style/recent trend within minimal techno.

ah yes, sorry, i was led astray by the follow-up posts.

anyway, i'd recommend jichael mackson. his latest album-length 12" is very slow, grimey and sweaty, utterly fucked up but at the same time immersive - and it's all done on a dub techno template, a massive effort to save the genre from its aseptic netlabel ghetto.

for those interested, ghostly has sound clips of the whole 2 am/fm record online:
http://ghostlyinternational.com/1.0/spectral/spc034.shtml

and it definitley does have a bit of a new beat feel, esp "maiden".
james cotton's last full length was similarly awesome...also worth checking out is that TnT record he did w/ tod osbourne.

yeah, you're right dominic - the sound palette is very similar to early acid trance (like djax records circa random xs - 'give your body'), but the grooves are less rigidly metronomic...i only mentioned new beat because it was discussed earlier, and the track 'maiden' kinda taps into to that dirgey, spacey new beat vibe (and is surprisingly slow for current dance music)...

Early nineties minimal trance had itself a new beat feel. Both new beat and trance have roots in EBM, so it's hardly surprizing.

yeah but the tracks change all the time like the villalobos/ eulberg style but in a thuggish way.

The new Dandy Jack album on Perlon is in this vein and quite excellent. "Arabs in the Dessert" is an astounding track.

I finally got round to buying this yesterday - Holy Mother of Fuck. It *is* astounding.

But I got it on vinyl - any chance someone here can hook me up with an MP3 version of the album, so I can listen to it on my iPod..? :)

i second 2rabimmel as a brilliant comp of skronking grinding monster tech house

and for the dirge gloom stomp - oppressive stamping - try wasserman - "ende der schonzeit" on auftrieb.

that is awesome. also, to be honest, if you just get every single speicher 12", you will end up with about 1/3 brutal buzzing stomp :)

The new Villalobos on Cadenza is nice. Four slices of sprawling wonkyness.

Nice?? The new Villalobos is the best thing he's ever done and one of the most intensely interesting things I've heard in a good long time. It doesn't really make sense in in terms of its obvious referents and I still haven't figured it out properly (in other words, it's brilliant).

It is really, really good, but I still think the height of his sound is the title cut of Thé Au Harem D'Archimède and the track "Hello Hallo" from that album. The way that those tracks drift in slowly and then lock in about three minutes in is totally unique.
Has anyone heard the new James Din A4 on Esel? He's made career on weird compositions, but this is one of the odder records of even that lot.

the new james t cotton - the same guy who did 2ampm is a monster too - basically mashed acid again with some mental use of the 606 cymbal ride to add some ruff high end noise
