These Detroitian techno heads have caused a bit of a stir of late, with their Basic Channel styled dubbed out techno. Now available on CD in extended versions (all listed separately on the site as 12 inches), this CD will no doubt please those who understand that the depth on offer here is more than dancefloor fodder, with tracks coming in at between 8 and 12 mins, these throbbing soundscapes will suit you minimal studio flat just right. CD - LOVE033CD - £11.99 CD Versions are all extended with bonus track "Oceans Of Emptiness". From Picadilly (8/16):

That is particularly interesting to press three tracks of silence. I'll always be a KDJ apologist, though, since he's released so many absolutely genius tracks. And in defense of at least the Modern Love Deepchord releases, they are available as mp3s from Boomkat's digital store I believe. But in the end, like pipecock said, I wish they would follow BC's lead in making the 12"s always available. Ah, I’ve got that one on the way Jnr. d.

It came out over here (UK) last week. Title track is about 3.5 minutes long, then it goes into a sort reprise of a track on Black Mahoganii II, which is not much more than a sort of single edit of one of the tracks... I kind of flip between getting annoyed by this stuff, and then thinking well I'd rather have a nice (or semi nice) piece of vinyl than the seven quid... But cutting what looks like 3 tracks on the b side, but with nothing on them is just a bit dry... ‘I’d Rather Be Lonely’. It came out over here (UK) last week.

Plus you'er not foreced to get those 10 remixes of th same track, 8 of them you don't care. I find thoses release with lots of remixes of the same track really shocking. Why the industry is so out of about remixes nowadays, most of which are crap anyway ? At least when you buy mp3s or better, WAVs, you don’t care about the packaging and focus on the music.
