INFINITE THANKS FOR THE MIX DON. YOUR ARE A TOTAL, AND UTTER LEGEND!! 
If I could recommend just two of the CDs, easy : MAURIZIO and the RHYTHM & SOUND comp.
I'M so jealous of you cunts, RHYTHM & SOUND still havent hit these shores, and prolly will when it's too little too late...

Er, it's not, as far as i'm aware. I recorded it for the organisers, just so we could listen to it, really. I dunno what Tikiman's on about. That's why I want it kept discreet if possible. Not even in the shared folders please folks.
It's fucking good though, eh? Bit of an odd one though. It's like Basic Channel outsourced their live set to Scion. I saw the original Basic Channel guys do their 45 session thing with Tikiman too, and it wasn't a patch on the Scion show. I mean, it's always good to hear a load of great reggae, but you almost never hear the BC stuff out, so it seems like a bit of a wasted opportunity. Still, it's not like they haven't earned the right to do whatever the fuck they want!
edit: and, yeah, i'm sure the droid was there. Played live with The Fear on the same stage that week I think.
doyler's gonna cut your bollocks off rosco
in other news, basic channel are playing live at the montreux jazz festival in july as part of narod niki, the minimal techno laptop supergroup. it's the first time they've played live in any form in 15 years. hopefully they'll do some other shows, but i'm not so sure that they will so i'm going to montreux!
can't wait

agh. I'm sure he'd understand. Let's face it, if anyone hears it and hasn't already bought some R&S stuff, they will after hearing it.edit: and Montreux! I must say, i'm pretty fucking jealous. I'd love to see that.

Stuff that sounds like Octagon/Octaedre: BC's remake of E2-E4 and Matthew Johnson's stuff.

Just for you, Old Rotten Hat, I bring the news(possibly not news), via disquiet, that you can get a live set from Monolake at his website: http://monolake.de/. It's an oldie but a goodie.
Speaking of Monolake I bought the album 'Momentum' on someones recommendation, and it really didn't do anything for me. I chucked it on my mp3 doofer anyway, and as the tracks came up on a random play, I often found myself utterly bewitched by these strange, cold techno tunes. With some surprise I checked the screen to find they were from that album which I didn't really rate. Great stuff altogether.
Grievous Angel
Beast of Burden
I so want to buy all of it because I've been promising myself all the vinyl for years...
But I won't, this year...

momentum definitely has its moments but its not the best album - hong kong is the one that resonates deeply with me. its utterly atmospheric, just takes you away to somewhere else entirely. beautiful music. that lush rain filled song, just makes my heart ache. and then theres the dark & hypnotic space techno of index, probably one of my favourite tunes of any genre.
hes not everybodies cup of tea but i love it.
for a long time i didn't realise he was german and thought he was from detroit (yes, i know his name should have given it away)

Cheers for that mix rosco thats a winner
I saw scion play at the rocket on holloway road a few years ago - it was like a basic channel greatest hits. Great show though.
Never really felt monolake, the bits I heard were too industrial for my taste. Probably need to hear more of it though.
Me & a friend were talking about the sound a few years ago (we both produce) and came up with the idea that the whole thing is based on one piece of gear that makes that sound, which mauritzio has & no one else knows what it is. It started as a joke, but it could easily be true - their records all sound so alike, and so unlike anyone else.
Never been able to get that sound myself despite a lot of trying. I've got close with a vocoder & an old eventide harmoniser/delay but the top end isn't as delicate - it's a rougher, more punk-dub sound.
As for records, M7 is the one IMO. King In My Empire on Burial Mix is lovely too.

well, some of the output is definitely patchy - but theres also moments of genius imo which more than make up for the misses. alien and industrial can be soulful sometimes, if its done right - like the first fsol album for instance.

they have ALOT of vintage gear, some of it sourced from kingston and such places - i don't know the details, wish i did. there's a story about the first time mark and moritz visited detroit, they were being shown around by mad mike who brought them to an old music equipment store which had an incredible selection of vintage synths and whatnot, they bought pretty much everything and had it packed up and shipped back to berlin. the owner was able to close up and retire!
