although, i have mp3s of this release, i haven't heard anything about when it is going to be officially released. so, i'm really just sitting on them rather than posting them. however, it's interesting, and i will definately pick up a copy of this record when it is released.

as far as recent Allien projects ... the Marc Houle & Pier Bucci remixes of "Turbo Dreams" caught my attention much more quickly than this Audion thing. BUT. i like it quite a lot ... i just happen to have a soft spot for both M_nus and Chileans.

the Dear track ... shockingly like some of the more atmospheric Juan Maclean

the Allien track ... she continues with her lovely spacey booty beats.

the remixes? good, but the Audion mix is killing it!!!

Poor 'dango - Spectral's releasing the record, so if your biking means that you can swing by Ann Arbor...

No need to bump, Cameron, because we're the only ones (?) who've heard this and I don't know about you, but I think I'm in love.

Audion is unabashedly techno, like there's no way someone could convert to the genre with his music - it'd repel. Ellen, on the other hand seems to have the opposite effect. Smash them together and you get a friendly contradiction.

natedey (ndeyoung), Thursday, 15 June 2006 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

this is awesome! i think my immediate favourite is ellen's rmx of the audion track. ELLEEEENNNN...AAAUUUUUDIIIOOONNNN...

four weeks pass...
Can't believe this has been 'upcoming' for about a year! ... fairly underwhelmed by this on a first listen unfortunately :/

Matthew Dear's track builds up some tension (eventually). His remix of Ellen I can't remember a single thing about right now. Ellen's own track feels distinctly 'average minimal' with some quite familiar near-minus-y noises splattered about here & there but not too artfully, very uncharacteristic stuff... BUT Ellen's remix of the Audion track is great, broken & truly bent vocals (I remember Ketamine House ;) ) playing call and response over of a weirdly light & catchy beat/semi-tune whilst the bass undercarriage dives up and down like a kid on a spacehopper. Totally disorientating & totally fun.

Maybe I'll grow to love (Hello "Falling Up"!) or at least like the others in a while :|

predictably... warmed up to most of those now =)

Like Audion's track, sort of a thinned-out stomper, LOOOOOVE Audion (EA remix) even more and like Ellen's own track more now even if it's not anything more than some nicely building atmosphere really, one of the most tool-y things she's done. The lack of an instant 'click' factor did throw me a bit.

The Audion remix seems to be ok, but it still evades my recall powers afterwards! Feels like a more busy & cluttered version of his own track than a remix of Ellen's, weirdly.

six months pass...
I'm finally hearing this and it's pretty great.

It's streaming here for those interested: http://music.download.com/audionellenallien/3600-8261_32-101005555.html?tag=MDL_listing_song_artist

is anyone anticipating the new Baaderonixx? (baaderonixx), Thursday, 8 February 2007 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

I really liked this -- especially the super clippy sounds on Allien's "Just A Woman".

Dominique (dleone), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

They should totally go out.

Lukas (lukas), Thursday, 8 February 2007 22:04 (nineteen years ago)

still really only like the Ellen remix from this bunch (and does the Audion track ever sound pointless after 'Mouth To Mouth') but I'm looking forward to her Safety Scissors remix finally coming out, it sounds like it has the same kind of rough-hewn analog charm, like this, like Thrills.
