Articles tagged "techno"Capsule ReviewsPort-Royal: Dying in Timeby Dominic Umile[26.Oct.09] :. Frequent sonic mutation is Dying In Time's most admirable trait. Music ReviewPaul Van Dyk: Volume—The Best of Paul Van Dykby Evan Sawdey[25.Sep.09] :. By focusing on Van Dyk's hits and big-name remixes -- instead of what is actually his best material -- Volume proves to be a remarkably dull dance detour.  Music ReviewBasement Jaxx: Scarsby Evan Sawdey[21.Sep.09] :. At its best, Scars sounds like prime-era Jaxx, the sheer amount of well-executed ideas and delightfully weird touches making them unlike any other dance artist this decade. Capsule ReviewsMartin Schulte: Depth of Soulby Dominic Umile[9.Aug.09] :. Schulte isn't afraid to disturb his DJ-ready dub techno with some atypical trickery. Capsule ReviewsVoodeux: The Paranormalby Alan Ranta[14.Jul.09] :. The debut horror-techno album from Tanner Ross and KiloWatts will run its greasy hand up your spine and swallow your soul.  Music ReviewNathan Fake: Hard Islandsby Dominic Umile[27.May.09] :. Hard Islands is perplexing and sharp, but you're lying if you told your friends this is an "album". Pig & Dan: The Heat EPby Dominic Umile[19.Apr.09] :. The Heat EP is Pig & Dan's latest balancing act of the Big and the Brittle. Marc Romboy: Systematic Colours Volume Twoby Dominic Umile[16.Apr.09] :. If Romboy's wobbly mix hits a snag, it vanishes in minutes. Trentemøller: Live in Concert EPby Alan Ranta[19.Jan.09] :. Casual fans shouldn't bother checking this release out. Only completists and those who were actually at the Roskilde Festival in 2007 need apply. Various Artists: Nobody Knows Anything: DFA Presents Supersoul Recordingsby Zeth Lundy[13.Nov.08] :. The inaugural release on DFA Records' new Death from Abroad imprint is this two-disc collection of vinyl- and digital-only tracks from Berlin's Supersoul label. Heartthrob: Dear Painter, Paint Meby Alan Ranta[25.Sep.08] :. This 23-minute teaser is almost enough to make one want to investigate the actual debut of pounding minimal techno from Jesse Siminski. Marek Bois: Boissche Untiefenby Alan Ranta[11.Aug.08] :. Classic presets and carefully manicured samples mark the promising debut of Niklas Worgt's solo project. PopMatters Pick Music ReviewJustice: Crossby Evan Sawdey[2.Jul.07] :. As all our favorite '90s dance heroes release albums that are more arty than funky, Justice releases an album that not only is guarunteed party-starter, but also a signal of the back-to-basics dance revolution that's nearing. Motor: Unhumanby Tim O'Neil[22.May.07] :. This is as far into the future as music goes, anything less would almost by definition seem a step backwards. Various Artists: Ame… Mixingby Mark Szakonyi[6.Apr.07] :. With skillful mixes of pioneers, such as Coldcut, and to the more obscure, such as, Dutch wave band New Musik, the album isn’t for glow stick weekend superstars. |
