trelik + ifach : c/d?

the way baby ford works with beats pretty much takes my head off every time. the way he uses space is phenomenal, kind of like an inverse basic channel.

it still makes me laugh to this day.

Broom I thought was good as Rue East on Pure Plastic (esp.#4) and I loved the Midnight Funk Associaton stuff too. I don't detect the "oldschool psy-trance influence" that much (and I'd rather keep it that way).

ps i own a copy of this

they are ... slower ... and less ravey. sort of like mid-period model 500 - imagine "ocean to ocean" w/ a heavy early-UR belgian rave influence.

they are NOT the lost undiscovered early infiniti tracks i was hoping they'd be

ifach7, 8 and 9.

no idea who was behind these releases. ta for kicking me up the proverbial .. looking forward to rediscovering these now ..

ifach 7 = broom + hill
ifach 8 = ford + broom
ifach 9 = broom + hill

gorgeous shit ... what the internets was designed for, to uplift and educate, in much the same sense that CSPAN + PBS + BBC = what TV is in its highest incarnation (dreamy modernist utopianism alert!)

cant wait to get the woman out of the house and drop these on the deck.

(no techno while my wife is in residence .. she hates it)

gotta love that logo as well.

but then i'm probably melchior's biggest hype machine, at least in english, so color me biased.

anyone want to recommend more stuff like "make a move"? on other labels is fine too

how about tresor artist sender berlin?

or on a very obvious tip, those "baby ford + the ifach collective" albums? especially the one on klang?

i actually tracked down an ifach compilation of the first 10 12" only last year. really fantastic stuff.
not got the baby ford + ifach collective release yet though.
no doubt by the time this thread is revived in another 2 years i will.

the baby ford + ifach collective doesn't sound like make a move

no?

if i recall, make a move is a zippy, tightly coiled house track with quite hooky vocals. the klang album (at least the 2x12") is dry, spare, bassy techno.

i suppose i've heard them in such different contexts (make a move exclusively in clubs, the album exclusively at home) that i could be wrong tho. i'd count the distinctive vocal loops as an integral part of 'make a move' though.

ok but on a rhythmic level i think its pretty similar. it's got that very monotone, tightly looped pure plastic thing going on.

OK to be fair there's a lot of stuff on pure plastic that sounds like jeff-mills-by-the-number or even worse like ben sims knockoffs but they've also got that side like, i dunno, mark broom + baby ford's "bubble bath" EP.

yeah, you're right there. make a move's surface embellishments just give it a lot more character. xp

i realize it's rather weak to follow up "what sounds like minimal man" with "baby ford" but that track just sort of screams baby ford at me. it's that burbling monotone 4x4 thing. badump bump bump badump bump bump badump bump bump. like being stuck in a whale's belly while it has heart palpitations or something.

by the way, i said "sender berlin" but now i realize that sender records (the german one unrelated to sender berlin w/ artists like misc.) might have been an even better answer.

I dunno, Sender is often trancier for me, "Make A Move" doesn't have enough of any kind of flavour to be trance or any other distinct genre really. As you said it's really monotone, all the melodies are sort of implied in tiny slivering echos/vibrations of the bassline.

dug this album up again

fucking superb

i got a few more months before my 2 years is up to get that.
weirdly due to the inclusion of an ifach track on the forthcoming tejada fabric mix i tried last week, but so far no luck.

i t is better now than the last time i listened to it. it's up there w/ mike ink albums, if not in terms of invention then at least in terms of sheer quality of thumping, metallic motorik minimal.

.. in terms of sheer quality of thumping, metallic motorik minimal.

i need this all the more now.

check out the track "sugarspoon" first

yes, I should have bought this when I had the chance...

i think it just got a re-release!

so it has!

Re-issue of dead eye on plus 8 should be arriving at my house any day now. . . (the make a move repress wasn't in stock :( )

dead eye is good.

oh man, never found a copy of ifach vol 1 and probably never will again for any reasonable price. =(

at least there are still copies of the trelik comp floating around for good prices.

(what exactly was the difference between ifach and trelik? floor music vs experimental music?)

actuallly maybe that should be vice versa

that ifach comp is a total classic. i always thought trelik was more functional and strict whereas ifach played with your head a bit more so yeah i think it's the other way around. some of the ifach tracks are straight-up spooky hardcore breaks though (solcyc "tales from the reefer barn" heh). check this out!!

sickness

or maybe the line is more trelik is "housey", ifach more techno?

it's kinda odd to say the house imprint is more reduced than the techno imprint, but i think you are right.

early trelik: reduced analog techno. later trelik (especially soul capsule): HOUSE. iIIRC the trelik comp that is on cd is all techno.

the bside to this is one of the best things i've heard on ifach

http://www.discogs.com/Voyectra-Charm/release/43177

relentless electrical storm acid w/ dreamy chords

would i be right in thinking a lot of these guys were industrial/ebm heads in the 80s?

Ech, I nearly got a copy of the Monolense EP by Baby Ford for $2 a week ago, but it went to someone else :( For curiousity I looked on discogs, the cheapest it was going for was 30 Euros.

i feel your pain! kinda crazy how cheap these records can be had for though atm, apart from a couple on trelik like the eon and soul capsule ones and monolense on ifach which go for stupid money -- so much great music as well, i've yet to be less than excited by anything on ifach
