    Ozo -- anybody know anything about?

    errr, i'm listening to the record right now, the singer could just as easily be a white hippy freak -- it's one of those voices!!! can't quite place it or make sense of it . . . . think it's a white guy in falsetto???

    Ozo -- anybody know anything about?

    well, it's weird b/c some of ozo's 70s releases were on DJM -- who's biggest act was Elton John, but which also had on the roster Johnny Guitar Watson and Billy Frazier's "billy who," the latter of which is like the best down-tempo disco song ever Sphinx and Mother Afrika appear to have been...

    admitting you were wrong: music you used to like and now hate

    i have very rarely turned on records or bands that i positively *loved* on first hearing rather, there's lots of stuff that i've acquired over the years that i've subsequently unloaded at used shops or on ebay, but wouldn't say that i ever *loved* or now *hate* -- merely slightly embarrassed to...

    more origins + trajectories -- correct me if i'm wrong! -- i'm not even that knowledgeable about uk garage -- merely trying to figure out where these people were coming from, with more than a little help from discogs = --tuff jam -- matt lamont had garage background, and so did karl brown...

    Great 4x4 Garage

    this is not really up my alley, but i am interested in the entire mid-90s us garage-into-uk garage question . . . . here's a back-to-1995 mix that seems to capture this moment -- sadly i don't know how to post mixes, so here's the link = http://its-a-london-thing.blogspot.com/ -- the second...

    record sale[s] on discogs

    i've no idea if it's worth anything or not -- i simply set my price based on what the other sellers had it listed at . . . . european sellers have it at 50 to 65 euros, so i listed it for $50 -- i.e., half the price they're asking -- though of course shipping is another variable, i.e., are most...

    Ost & Kjex remix -- intelligent crafting, but very cheesy -- i love the main lyric lines, and most of the vocal sounds that compliment those parts -- but a lot of the drums and percussion parts??? it's like i've heard this programming before in 90s tribal house or trance . . . . again, it has a...

    and the mungolian jet set sound discomfits in so far as it does remind me of, say, young american primitive i.e., i suppose it is a "guilty pleasure" -- and therefore perhaps i am conceding gekopel's theoretical point??? another magnificent old timer's balearic track that "it ain't necessarily...

    Studio - West Coast

    addressing points made upthread by gek-opel and swears . . . . true, johnny hates jazz is a wonderful pop record but as far as daft punk and basement jaxx, i never much cared for them also not a fan of all that mid-90s trip hop/lounge/rephlex silliness i'm interested in possibilities that...

    Studio - West Coast

    i've investigated mungolian jet set the past couple of days, and most of their stuff errs too far on the side of cheese -- but perhaps i'm close-minded -- and yet they clearly have some kind of "genius" about them, in line with wagon christ perhaps (and to me wagon christ is NOT a good producer...

    Studio - West Coast

    yes, the one and only i think his glitchier stuff is on other labels, like mille plateux and though there's lots of way far out-there experimental music on comatonse, the label has had its share of nice "house" releases in an ambient vein that fits in well with current cosmik/balearic trends...

    Studio - West Coast

    the one track that i'm really digging is evidently un-released??? i.e., mari boine vs. mungolian jet set -- "it ain't necessarily evil" and as for early 90s ambient house, what about stuff like . . . . neutron 9000, "love's got a feeling" ashley & jackson, "the sermon" both rather cheesy...

    i could see a lot of ambient house getting revived in this neo-balearic craze for instance, audio deluxe "60 seconds" above but also this wonderful new york-to-japan label comatonse recordings
