I don't do INDUSTRAIL(tm) reviews any more...

... So you'll have to go listen to the relevant Myspace rather than pay attention to any architectural dancing that I may or may not manage.

However. That there Modulate chappie: bleedin' marvellous racket and no mistake.

There are a set of records cluttering up my house that appear impossible to play loud enough. The Orbital remix of Kinetic by Golden Girls, for instance. I found it on one of the CND 'Give peace a dance' compilations (and now there it is on the youtubes. Well^3.) Also the 'Hashishin' 12" by Astralasia and the first side of 'No sleep 'til Hammersmith'. Of course, this might all be down to the nature of the vinyl mastering process, but I suspect it much more likely that they're just really good records.

I can now add 'Detonation' to that pile. Although in trying to play the CD too loud yesterday, I discovered that the factory-fit speakers in late SAAB 9000s leave something to be desired. There's bit of all sorts in there; N-Joi, Kid606, Virus-powered eurotrance, Pan Sonic-style fun with beat frequencies and some quality breakbeat action lobbed in to confuse the synthare dancers.

It would be nice to think that there's a remixer out there with a serious Josh Wink (or Beltram) habit. I mean, just for a laugh...

Thought i'd heard that before - they sampled it in a later song (about 0.50 in)

Thanks. The mixing and mastering of the album drove me and Kolja mad. Our mutual hatred of over compression mixed with a need to make it 'club compatible' in todays market. It's just loud enough and no more.

Actually...very little Virus on it! I know I have one, but well, when trying to replace some of the original leads with it I found it a little too classy and kept the rougher sounding soft synths.

But yes...various subtle clues that I grew up in the 90's. :)

I'd love to hear it loud in a fast car. I did get to hear a few tracks on the bass heavy Slimelight system on Sat and was really pleased with how it sounded.

I look forward to the Rock Family Tree that has common roots in Eriseses record collection.

I have to admit I was puttering about, looking for some yout' in a Corsa to wind up.

Hahaha. Yes. Mr Eris is to blame entirely. :)
