love these. have yet to get them :(

kid cue - loving the second cd a lot more than the first, though i like that one reasonably well. i cant quite put what i think of it in a neat ball of text yet. something feels deeply subtle about it. it feels very meticulously written though it doesnt seem that way on just casual play. i think the whole thing is going to take some time but i've got some early favorites (stomp, hill st, black sunshine, morning star, ruff dub) to keep the door open and see if i get deeper into it.

i think it might be really fucking great though.

dubman, if you like the Boratto, you should also like the Hug-Heroes on Kompakt. it's a great album that hasn't received as much attention as either the Field or Boratto LP's but is def. worth your time/money/megabytes.

taken from http://www.textura.org/reviews/hug.htm


Talk about precocious: John Dahlbäck (aka Hug) is a mere 21 years old, yet somehow has managed to leave his fingerprints on more than seventy releases, forty remixes, and seventy-five compilations (for imprints like Deep4life, Dessous, Morris Audio, and his own Pickadoll) in only four years. His 70-minute Heroes is the inaugural full-length by a K2 artist, K2 being the sub-label Kompakt co-head Wolfgang Voigt established to bring ‘minimal techno' back into the fold. Though Hug's material is often stripped down, ‘minimal' remains a relative term so longtime Kompakt listeners will find no shortage of detail to latch onto here, and consequently will hear Heroes as much maximal as minimal. In many ways, the Hug style is textbook Kompakt but Dahlbäck also distinguishes himself in a couple of key respects: in standout cuts like “Tiny Stars” and “Fluteorgie,” he deftly exploits the musical potential offered by myriad noises as rhythmic accents, and, as “Tiny Stars” and “The Platform” attest, he also possesses a talent for crafting Kraftwerk-styled melodies (the five-note theme in “Tiny Stars” is so lovely in its melancholy it would do the Düsseldorf legends proud). Elsewhere, a surging mix of Chain Reaction, bleepy electro, and Cologne techno opens the set promisingly in “Raido” and, by alternating glissandi synth flares with martial snare patterns, “Birds” could pass easily for a Daniel Bell homage. Heroes isn't necessarily Kompakt at its peak but its collection of clubby electro-techno, slippery grooves, and syncopated swing is certainly strong enough.

thanks. violator is phenominal, but technique is alright, i don't like it as much as low-life or power, corruption & lies.

One Lion! Love that track (Lion VIP by Vex'd).

Lately:
Amy Winehouse (yeah yeah)
Mew (Frengers + And the Glass Handed Kites)
Masstishaddhu - Shekinah (experimental spookiness)
A huge internet Yacht Rock compilation
Amon Amarth - Versus the World
Long Blondes (shut it)
Silversun Pickups
Some classic dub stuff - Augustus Pablo
Au Revoir Simone - 'A Violent Yet Flammable World' seems to be the standout track.

There appears to be a real paucity of new, top notch dubstep. At least I'm not hearing about it.

Re: recent purchases, downloads, etc.
 

I think Technique is the best album of the 80's. P,C,L is dope too.
