been listening to the different volumes of "chill out or die" and "further self evident truths" a lot lately, as well as early wagon christ + irresistible force + air liquide + bedouin ascent and related things. probably has something to do with living around my old college again and the fall weather. probably get back into jungle sky at this rate.
anyway, the best "german" electronica label of the 90s?? (probably second to force inc, but still!)
also, do i need to do "secret life of trance" next? how about "techno injection"? i always steered clear of them when i was in college (i was a breakbeat snob at that time, so what, so was carl craig) and then when i veered back into 4/4 around the time i found out about "high in a basement" and faze action and stuff i decided i had to distance myself from the label.

Wagon Christ and Irresistible Force I'm still good with. Mixmaster Morris was a friendly guy, met him a couple of times, and I think...yes, here's the Vibert interview I did around the time of Throbbing Pouch.

"further self evident truths usa" turned me onto the black dog!! "pillars and mirrors"!! and it had the junglist "reedin (redone)" remix that he did before he became plug!! if only it had "spotlight (aphex remix)" it would have obviated the need for that shitty "avantgardism" comp!!
"chill out or die USA" wasn't as good but it did have air liquide's "if there was no gravity", which is just the most incredible piece of zero-gee ambient house ever. or it was, until eight miles high came along.

Luke: Totally! I think bedroom music is the one
did he let you touch his beard??
Luke: God, I don't know. I don't understand it, really, because I just don't feel like that at all. I think that with synths you can make really nice sounds. There's old Detroit stuff, which was the first synthy stuff that I really decided to get into, Derrick May and all those geezers
vibert in listening to detroit shocka!! i had no idea he had it in him!!
Ned: What in general would you like to do musically in the future?
Luke: Definitely rap stuff. I'd love to take a bigger back seat and have my name totally obliterated, not on it at all, to just be a producer of some kind of rap
shame he never did!! there was a little bit of stuff on big dada that i remember was *great*!

Okay, you're making me nostalgic for this one, at least, and I don't know what disc I've stuffed it onto. Need to finally get those hard-drives up and running.
Further I still have around, though. I'll probably put it on after the New FADs disc I'm playing is done.
Phone interview. His beard was unscathed.

Hmm, maybe? Except that doesn't sound like me because at the time I was mostly aware of stuff *only* through the Moonshine discs rather than the equivalents overseas. Mind you, selective memory might be at work.

i didn't get as much rising high releases as i should have ...

"Church of Extasy" is so fucking great, even today. Too bad all the remixes sound exactly the same.

what about "rising high progressive hardcore"? (hmm this has irresistible force on it ... ??!?"

have you ever heard this comp vahid? is it blasphemous to discuss r&s on this thread? seems like there was a lot of cross linking going on between a bunch of these labels at the time.
i have been listening to [las vegas] a lot lately and i am pretty convinced that it's probably the best album (my favorite) to come out of this era of ambient house/trance/techno. i think it has something to do with favoring pop over dub techniques, but that's oversimplifying things because there's plenty of dub going on in it too. there is something timeless about it.

"further self evident truths usa" turned me onto the black dog!! "pillars and mirrors"!!
Except as on the UK edition it's actually Otaku by Atypic (from the same EP.) Love this track.
There's slightly less Vibert on the UK version, instead you get an excellent Bedouin Ascent remix of RHC and Electronic Dub's Electronic Dub 2 which has such a great spooky space vibe.
1995 specifically is a weird indulgent interegnum for non-denominational electronic stoner beat music. I guess some of this is the start of drill and bass (or actually what Mixmaster Morris was trying to dub 'fungle', and thank fuck that never caught on.)
