I liked it pretty good but got a bit overwhelmed by his aesthetic in the album format. I mean, all his tracks are so free form and constantly evolving and mutating that after a while you feel like you could kinda just sub in one part of one song into another part of another song and it wouldn't really make a difference. I think it would have worked better as a series of 12"s to be honest, so you could deal with each track on its own and get to know the little details and idiosyncrasies. As it is I keep wanting to turn to something else about 2/3rds through, even though I may be enjoying the what I'm listening to at the time.Onur Ozer’s album is amazing (I owe you on that one Simon). I think my review of it is on the first page of the fact reviews section but it’ll probably just put you off it—just buy it instead.
yeah that cadenza comp is great isn't it. it was a nice surprise to find that i liked the 'contemporary' disc better than than the 'classics' one; they just seem to be getting better and better.
I'm revising an earlier comment: I don't get Theo Parrish. Someone exlpain the attraction please.
Okay the advance mixed version of the new Melchior Productions Ltd lp "No Disco Future" that just got posted at ohmygosh is amazing, at least at first listen on headphones...

that?"
beautiful rough painterly tracks with fat dollops of abstract detailed sunshine soul.
sometimes quite straight sometimes utterly off the wall and esoteric. his records are like feelings rather than really memorable tunes but they just work so well.
mmmm okay. it sounds like he needs to be enjoyed in totally different way to other music on this thread...trying to enjoy it in the same linear, progressive, propelled way won't work will it? Nor will appreciating its "sound design" (which i think is a very fleeting pleasure anyway, like running your hand over velvet, or squidging cashmere).
I will re-listen.
solitary flight and the remix of slowly surely are my favourite Theo Parrish tunes, just looovely!
He's one of the dj's I would really really like to see too. Have only heard really good things about him and the sets Ive heard online sound like a coherent trip while being very eclectic too. Would love to experience a set of his with a likeminded crowd.
