Hot damn but that Stereolove tune (me and timy mix) is amazing. It's like if you take the doomy-fuzz template laid down by Bangalter "outrage" and Vitalic "la rock" and cross it with the Cosmos style sweet-synth overload thing and build it to the nth level.

Is their other stuff this good? What's worth searching...

La Onzieme Marche (Rollercoaster Mix) or (Alexander Kowalski Mix)

Rollercoaster one has the most mental breakdown of just about any record, it's like going through a tunnel, a gigantic rolling French buildup all filtered down to one synth, then a split second pause and it all comes back.

Senor Coconut-Smooth Operator (Agoria Remix) very like Stereolove, I actually prefer it.
Dibaba-Hold You (Agoria's Bear Mix)

The album is good I guess, I mainly like the singles, Kofea/Sky Is Clear are good. Michael Mayer's remix of Sky Is Clear is ace in an oldschool way.

the michael mayer mix of "sky is clear" is lovely. jack rhythms and pianos - winner!

Are they french, btw? The artwork on the stereolove 12" is too nice to be german...

It's one guy, Sebastian Devaud, and he's French yeah. You might like the Oxia album 24 Heures, if you're into Agoria's stuff. It's a bit more "cosmic" I guess, but not in as bad a way as that might sound. There's a load of really good French techno at the moment.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 09:03 (twenty-one years ago)

There is, isn't there? It's in that Ivan Smagghe psychotic electro-techno vein mostly, right? Verging on being trance but in a good way...

― Jacob (Jacob), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 09:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Yep, speaking of which the new Black Strobe "Chemical Sweet Girl" is great, dark and gothy and nasty, there's a left/right panning guitar part which would sound amazing in a club.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 09:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I think that with the exception of the Tricky collaboration, the whole of the Blossom album is pretty great - it veers nicely between techno, electro, scuzzy Laurent Garnier-esque house and more mellow, microhouse-inflected stuff. ie everything I like at the moment :)

I haven't heard this Rollercoaster mix yet - the problem with the album version of Le Onzieme Marche is that its TOO FUCKING SHORT. He pulls the plug just as things are getting going, and I want at least another six minutes.

I might buy this Oxio record this lunchtime.

Where the fuck are all the new Agoria tunes? There hasn't been anything since March last year that I can find anywhere...

two months pass...

so he's collaborated with ark on his new album on what is easily the dirtiest sounding micro distortion funk thing that james brown's 47th descendant from the future never will make.

I wonder if mixing Mathew Jonson into Jam & Spoon is trying to make a point...

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 5 November 2005 06:43 (nineteen years ago)

yes, definitely

― wi, Thursday, 17 November 2005 22:52 (nineteen years ago)

the rest of the cd is ok too but the mixing is mostly awful

new album, october 13th: The Green Armed Chair

― Python... No Bite :B (flezaffe), Saturday, 16 September 2006 10:57 (eighteen years ago)

The new single is a pleasant suprise if your not xpecting anything. Its better than the stuff on the first album but not as good as le 11ieme marche. Does the electro thing better than Alex Gopher and the old french DJs have managed so far

― raw sweaters annoying brother (raw sweaters annoying brother), Saturday, 16 September 2006 21:39 (eighteen years ago)

im afraid the new single is better than the stuff on the second album too (which is called The Green Armchair btw - thatll teach me to get my info from amzon.de)

four years pass...

Well his Fabric 57 mix is certainly turning some heads. It's quite Radioslave-ish: heavy, driving, percussive. I probably like this the best of all his mixes.

― paulhw, Tuesday, 24 May 2011 22:34 (fourteen years ago)

I've been meaning to check that Fabric mix out. I heard Magnolia on a mix and recently and was blown away

Fabric mix is stupidly wonderful. The dOP remix of Clara Moto on there kills me every time. Proper vintage Kompakt sad vocal techno stuff:

At least I've been with you
At least I've been with you
At least I've been with you
At least I've been with you
At least I've had you for a while...

then BAM, it gets all stripped back and housey.

This mix is fucking storming, it gets to the point so quickly and then just stays there.

― Matt DC, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 17:18 (fourteen years ago)

it's okay
