Completely gave up on CC after the "Elements of and Experiments with Tone" comp on Planet e in 1996. Not that it was a bad comp, it just felt like that whole axis was spent.
Since then my planet e intake has been restricted to that Recloose EP (with the cartoon of the mining DJ on the cover) and the Recloose LP (nice)
Yesterday I was doing some oblique strategy musical investigation and came home with the "just another day" EP. Its really really nice. Incredibly low-key, distinctly muted-jazz style grooves lead by super-fat basslines, a dread quote from Genesis on the records rear" And God Said unto Noah, the end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, i will destroy them with them with the earth". traces of the original neurotic behaviour beatless mix throughout but the production is (theres no way around it) overwhelmingly beautiful.
so is his "programmed" lp any good?
and for the record i'm quite taken with the idea of "jazz techno" this week. it actually translates as quite nasty bleak electronic music with opaque hooks which doesnt resort to myopic glitchery and is too left out of the party to be sraight dance music. has anyone else heard the nsi record on kompakt? thats the most interesting thing ive ever heard on that label. tagged on the wall as "sun ra-like microhouse" and thats not such a bad description.......
