vsts... edirol orchestral is pretty ghetto sounding, cheap/cheerful, entry level. reminds me more of grime strings then say garritan personal orchestra, which is worth a look if you want more realism. theres a bunch of them out there.

A lovely chat with cutting engineer George Peckham:

new albums from romboy, hacker, kiko, rother. A bit squinty but the a side is "Minimal scarf fuckers drown".

bless the reverend.

crappy, irritating.

Be a great format for DJs/remix/sampling. Too many copyright issues for the exact same reasons.

Its the 20 year cycle isn't it? I really like Flo Rida - In The Ayer. Reminds me of Planet Rock with the electro style beat, disco pings, that high synth part. Uses my all-time favourite hi-hat pattern. The synth melody in the breakdown towards the end has that queasy detuned reese feel ala...

They mourn the end of that era. The first time I heard one of those 3 - can't remember which - I said "it sounds like everythings decaying"...

classic stuff. also like the genetic manipulation ep... which ramps into the tracks you list. a bit more raw jazz and less epic / dystopian soul. have to include warhead too. i mean the track does so little but on a decent system it's great. the sound design / engineering really stood out for...

Maybe I should temper that slightly; I can't see much of a future for physical media.

Hard drives are a stepping stone toward having all (your) music stored on the net, which can then be streamed to your portable media device via a ubiquitous wireless connection. In the future. We've seen this trend already with email; moving the client from the desktop pc to the web; gmail etc...

Frankfurt - I rate it almost on par with Discopolis. Have listened to it 100 times and only realised the other day that miniscule rhythmic loop of hiss you can hear before and after the track is intentional. Noticed it before but assumed it was my tinnitus being fruity. Open - cheese. I guess...

Best of Prydz tracks are... RYMD, Pjanoo, Frankfurt, Europa, Remember... that mix he did of Paolo Mojo's 1983... plus Horizons and Deep Inside as Cirez D. It's all pretty "open" emotionally, even more so than Booka. Bodzin is doing his own thing imo, though that early 93/94 euro trance stuff is...

Space disco and trance (at least the trance I enjoy) both have a similar spirit; that aspiration to positivity expressed in sonic cleanliness and naive, worldless sensitivity... based around euro melodic classicism. I Feel Space Eric Prydz - Frankfurt Bodzin/Romboy - Callisto Kiko - Ph-1...

yes this is it. i sift through releases at a tremendous rate, discounting 90% of the tracks i preview based on the lead sound or even the kick drum within a couple of seconds - it's enough to place the track within the innovation nuum of a given sub-genre. i have to be compelled within a few...

Also stuff is popping off so fast now its like perpetual genre epilepsy.

I'm a lot more selective now than I used to be. I went through a phase for several years of hoovering all kinds of stuff down like mad. I've had clean-ups before but I'm probably due to go through it all and delete 80%. In a more general sense I wonder about the effect on culture as we drift...
