It will have to do for now. Actually it is one of my (many) favourite albums: If.Then.Else – (Pause) – Emanate Records – 2002. I was looking for: Theorem – Ion – M_nus – 1999. Why? Because I think it is partly based on samples from a nearby highway. That would be Detroit’s I-75 highway… Continue reading It Was Not The One I Was Looking For?

I Forgot About Marcus
I must have somehow mentally suppressed the fact that Marcus Intalex passed away in May 2017? Marcus Julian Kaye (1971-2017) It is another tragic and tremendous loss. I cannot and I will not write about that. I did not know him and I don’t think that I’ve ever met him, but I do know him… Continue reading I Forgot About Marcus

The latest New Speak recording was… Continue reading Ola Bergman, Quizzical – Issue 1 [New Speak – NSPK009A, 2011]

Deru, Pushing Soil [Delikatessen Records – PLATE8, 2004]
Another fine release on Delikatessen Records, this time around it’s Deru getting the remix treatment on the “Pushing Soil” EP.

Myrza, All You Can Eat [Delikatessen Records – PLATE6, 2003]
The sixth offering from the ever-impressing Delikatessen label. The sixth plate is like the previous servings a 10″ the artwork and packaging is as brilliant as ever.
