Review of Ultimate NRG Vol.2 - Various Artists

Another Empire burning.

Advantages: Music with real revoultionary rage
Disadvantages: Over reliance on noise and poor production

Strange with the release of 60 second Wipeout, ATR released their most uncommerical release to date, but at the same time receiving a high amount of press coverage. Then again nothing is straightforward in the world of Alec Empire and cohorts. Burn, Berlin, Burn and The Future of War were both excellent albums combining the power of hardcore punk and the tearaway breakbeats of the darkest drum and bass. ATR had developed a unique sound, uncompromising ...
...majority of tracks. Listening to 60 second Wipeout in the main is a fairly unsettling experience not helped by poor production on the majority of tracks. Knowing the "no sell-out " attitude of Alec Empire, this is probably a deliberate move against the increased coverage ATR and Digital Hardcore are receiving. Even though Empire seems to be sabotaging his previous works with the production on the album there are still moments amongst the noise where ...

Review of 60 Second Wipe Out - Atari Teenage Riot

Belt them out Joey...

Advantages: Mind bending tackle!!!
Disadvantages: none at all...

Joey Beltram, I wonder how many people will remember that name??? Everybody my age will for sure. He was a great pioneer of ‘Techno’ back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. just about every time I went out ‘raving’ I would hear one of his tracks, and as the title of this album suggests, these are some of the top tunes he produced, which were played by all of the top dj’s of the time. I can remember one night in particular, seeing Carl Cox at Eclipse ...
...just went wild!! (wilder that is). I seem to remember reading that Joey is currently living in his native U.S.A. New York to be precise, and still turning out the odd tune now and then, but I haven’t heard anything by him since about 1991. The album itself was put together in 1996 using theses old tracks and is aptly named ‘CLASSICS’. ****** COVER DESIGN. The cover is reassuringly plain. Nothing fussy here and there doesn’t need to be, your paying ...

Review of Classics - Joey Beltram

The "Miles_Gurtu" experiment

Advantages: A blend of intricate beats, varied jazzy melodies and experimental soundscapes.
Disadvantages: Over-tweaking disrupts the ambience occasionally. No mainstream appeal. Some tracks don't work.

Take a Swiss-Italian ambient trance producer (Robert Miles) and blend together with an Indian percussionist (Trilok Gurtu). Add other talented musicians to the mix and allow to simmer gently, making sure you season generously with electronic sculpting and processing. The resulting album is an interesting fusion of acoustic instruments, electronic processed sounds, intricate beats, jazz and experimental soundscapes. Released in 2004, “MilesGurtu” ...
...the dream trance that he became famous for. It builds on his previous album “Organik” (released in 2001), which was his first attempt at creating an experimental sound. This album is characterised by being completely instrumental although 3 tracks feature vocal samples. Double bass, strings, guitar and rhodes performances feature frequently, creating delicate melodies whilst complex beats are generated from drums and tabla. Many tracks shift and ...

Review of Miles_Gurtu - Robert Miles & Trilok Gurtu

Slightly disappointed but still good

Advantages: some golden oldies
Disadvantages: alot of the tunes you will have on the older gatecrasher cds

When I saw this product advertised on the television I was so excited because I have all the gatecrasher albumns and I just loved the idea of a best of gatecrasher albumn but then you get the the idea of, is it worth buying it cos you will have most thesongs alreadyalbeit on 10 different albumns. So there is the first good point of this albumn, all the classics on one albumn that you can stick on, on a saturday night and dance away till your hearts ...
...tunes and some not so good tunes so like me I was tempted just to buy it off itunes and download the tunes I liked but at 99p each I found I like more than £9.99 worth of tunes so I bought the albumn. Theres some old time favourites and some current classics with some great remixes and with 3 cds you really do get your moneys worth. Its a mixture of house and dance and a little bit of trance thrown in. You can dance to this music and it really would ...
