Oh yeah, I'm feeling it, esp. the Gazebo tool (I can imagine a dj dropping this and just letting it run and run without a beat and then it goes whoom-whoom-whoom...everybody goes to heaven. :)

oh its not showing the pic

anyway, it reminds me of the first rebirth, by jones & stephenson, but, like, a fluffier version

Anyone heard the Hotel Deauville 12"? It's good, what you'd expect. If he keeps up at this rate he'll make the best 12-songs-but-not-an-album in 2006.

Factory techno with factory sounds ?

as in the UK label and gothy corny DX7 action (blunt), Saturday, 25 March 2006 20:42 (twenty years ago)

There's a Gazebo remix by Sebastian Leger. Not as good as the original but doesn't ruin it either.

It reminds me of Kazane more than J&S overall, eurgh. It also reminds me of hours wasted on Reason. It's cuet at best, what's disturbing is the proximity to but cheap versioning of Eat Raw/Harvest-era Mike Ink & Jörg Burger on this 12" but especially on Hotel Deauville.

So far my Fairmont POO would be I Want to See the Sun Come Up on Echocord; it's still on the heavy string-pulling tip, but the recording sounds much better and the vocal touch is sweet (but annoying ! I'd call it "short detuned droning", not "song"). Srsly mic up yr (grl)frnds alrdy Mr F41RL3Y.

^^^^I'm sure y'all agree that writing so much excuses me for being abruptly dismissive. Also props to Mr |=A¦r([-y for keeping it real. As in, hardware style.

one year passes...

new album out in a few weeks. listening to single Flight Of The Albatross now - not feeling it but interested to hear what others think

I liked Pavilion from earlier this year but nothing touches Gazebo for me. Not sure I'd want a whole album of Fairmont but I hope to be convinced otherwise.

Resident Advisor preview fills me with dread though. Especially as there hasn't actually been a good album on Border Community thus far.

Like previous BC longplayers from Nathan Fake and James Holden, 'Coloured in Memory' promises to marry dance music to other genres; the album features such hybrids as surf-rock vs. electro ('Bikini Atoll'), art rock vs. trance ('I Need Medicine') and folk vs. hip-hop ('Calm Before The Storm').

Eek.

I really am the only person that likes the James Holden album aren't I :(

Fairmont hasn't done much for me thus far tho

Flight of the Albatross is amazing! The moment when the melody comes flooding in!
