is this gonna come back to Amores Perros?

I guess what I'm asking is: is Nortec Collective any good? Anybody know anything about it?

― Remy (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 00:57 (twenty years ago)

I don't like every track on vol. 1, but I like enough of it to want to check out the new one. I visited the Don Loope club in Tijuana a few years ago on one of their nights, great music (hadn't heard _any_ of what they were playing), incredible mood, very distinct scene.

Search Terrestre's Secondary Inspection. I also like what Corona records as Murcof, but I kind of hope he fuses those two projects together at some point to make one schitzoid all-over-the-place album.

vol.1 was ok. kind of. i think i expected something less ordinary. maybe something with some local flavour. murcofs cool.

Fussible is dope
Odyssea cold rocked my world,
haven't heard the rest

Comin' on strong is
Plankton Man, whose Kobol thing
is 2005:

glitchy machine funk
with a live drummer, like jazz
electronica

the pride and joy of the mexican electronic music scene

they're a tight-knit group of producers/musicians/scenesters from tijuana, some of them have been involved in electronic music for a while (the fussible guys used to be artefakto, an ebm-ish band with ties to kmdfm) and they've been branching out in very interesting directions in the past few years (murcof's terreste alias used to be a part of the collective; enrique jimenez/ejival, a local music critic, runs the static discos label, home to murcof, pepito, duopandamix, carrie and more good stuff, and so on)

personally, i love their conceptual side: a reflection of the mexico-u.s. border way of life...glorified, urban-myth-like drug traffickers, seedy cantinas, norteño music, etc...very tijuana-specific, and more often than not in a funny context in regards to visuals, song-title puns/namedropping, and whatnot

Odyssea stills rocks big style

Fussible just released a fwe months ago a new single, "Tijuana Makes Me Happy" which was supossed to come in the Tijuana Sessions Vol. 2 but no word about it has been said. Hopefully it'll come out soon, it's such a pity that a collective with such a unique sound didn't capitalize it's momentum. Terrestre has been doing some movie and TV series scores. And word ont he street says that some of them got into some fights 'cause one wing of the collective wanted to keep the sound as pure as possible and the other wanted to diversify the sound of it and went out to pursue alternate projects.

heard them play late last year in sf and they brought the place down. they did a tag-team laptop dj set and took complete control of the dancers. i haven't heard any of their recorded stuff that approaches this live set, but i would love some pointers as to where to look.

Murcof is good.

Pepito are OK.

I bought a couple of Panoptica 10" many years ago.. but I haven't really gone back to them. :/

Hmm, Morning Becomes Eclectic played a Fussible track this morning. It was a bit like Mexican Evan Dando.

two months pass...

Tijuana Sessions Vol. 3 is out

― manuel (manuel), Sunday, 28 August 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

that's what my boy rob g says...can't wait to hear this!

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Sunday, 28 August 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

yay thanks for the alert!

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 28 August 2005 15:02 (twenty years ago)

I am digging this as well.

one year passes...

The track that appears on the Babel OST is really good. I can imagine fans of Fizheuer Ziheuer (or whatever it's called) liking this.

The Paso Del Nortec DVD is excellent and a perfect showcase for their funky visuals

one year passes...

vol 3 sounds like a beck studio band imo zzzzz

like i really really want to like this, but it's just not doing it for me. a little bland. is the newest one any good? tijuana sound machine i think? i think it's the dudes from fussible + bostich.
