Paniq – Mind Eraser {rel#145}

Artist: Paniq
Title:
Mind Eraser
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
rel#145
Release Date:
1998/08/12


An excellent track in a guest stylee from smart tdr affiliate meester Paniq, showing that the jungle scene and The Prodigy can have a little soundclash and come off none the worse for wear. Just jiggle the head and swing the hips and you’ll get by just fine. Btw, we really recommend using the latest version of MikIt to listen to this track, because it uses resonant filter stuff and things which are only in da new version.. you can get it (v1.0 beta 2!) at: http://www.stack.nl/~mikmak/download/mikit10b2.zip 🙂

Ramone – Hi-Rez EP {rel#144}

Artist: Ramone
Title:
Hi-Rez EP
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
rel#144
Release Date:
1998/08/10


Again, some deck-clearing, with some excellent instrumental hiphop given to us by Ramone earlier this year, and finally released now. The slight delay in releasing has, if anything, matured this year’s vintage, and it’s still a mighty fine double-tracker.

Vim!+Zyad – Tea Diddums (Pineapple Remix) {rel#25}

Artist: Vim!+Zyad
Title:
Tea Diddums (Pineapple Remix)
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
rel#25
Release Date:
1998/08/04


Mm, here’s another of Zyad’s prized remixes of Vim!, and another piece of smart witty techno. It has a clock-ticking monotone to it that really begins to appeal after a while, don’t you think? Then there’s some sorta jazz drumming comes in a little later, and it’s all agreeably offbeat. In a sorta onside way. Thanks to both of the lads – they done great.

Mortimer Twang – That Organ Thing {rel#143}

Artist: Mortimer Twang
Title:
That Organ Thing
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
rel#143
Release Date:
1998/08/03


Licensed from our friends at Black Sista (thanks as ever to Ohgosh!), here’s another wonderful Mortimer track that probably never reached as many people as it should have. This one especially rules because, just like The Wiseguys’ “Ooh La La”, it’s just so much damn _fun_. We’re hoping the Twangster’s gonna come back with some more new tracks for bs!+m211 soon, but in the meantime, this’ll have to do. And boy, it does pretty well. Altogether now..

Vim! – Borderline EP {rel#142}

Borderline EP
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
rel#142
Release Date:
1998/07/29


The boy can’t help it, he just can’t help it. Apologies from us to Vim! and his fans for not getting these songs out very fast at all – they were tracked much earlier this year. But at least at least they’re out, and we guess you should really open wide and say ‘aaahh’. Or at least ‘ah?’ 🙂 Style, grace, Rita Hayworth, all that nice stuff, Vim! has it in spades. So if you’ve got a heart, let’s club together and buy him enough diamonds to jack it all in and live on the Gold Coast forever. Ohdear, we appear to have lost it. In a nice way, of course. Viva Vim!

Jiva – Moss EP {rel#24}

Artist: Jiva
Title:
Moss EP
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
rel#24
Release Date:
1998/07/28


After hearing the first Theralite release from Jiva, we just had to track him down in our small dark kayak and ask him out on a date. And after the wind put out the campfire, he slipped us a little package with this idyllic little EP in it. We whooped all the way home. “Desk” especially reminds us of the unrushed ambience of artists such as Harold Budd, and Jiva, hailing from Alaska, has a little less to work with than a lot of other artists. The less counts, as you can see.


Tracklist:
01 – Unicorn [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]
02 – Toasted [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]

Subi – Sikm’scaalikik {rel#141}

Artist: Subi
Title:
Sikm’scaalikik
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
rel#141
Release Date:
1998/07/24


Ohno, we’ll never stop releasing the Subi sound, purely because.. oh, heck, we’re much too fond of the old coot. He beavers away up in his attic creating weird sorta retro but appealing horribly lo-fi harsh little tunes, and we can’t help but put them out. There’s also an appealing half-manga little doodle from Subi himself we’ve included as some kind of album cover manque. Aww, isn’t he sweet? 🙂

Distance – Washback EP {rel#23}

Artist: Distance
Title:
Washback EP
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
rel#23
Release Date:
1998/07/14


Distance almost at his strangest, we believe he wanted us to communicate that these were constructed squarely under the influence of the weed with the five dangerous prongs. So any slowing down of time and spaced-out ill communication would be entirely due to these songs taking over your life. Finland has got the weirdest, nicest, maddest people, then. Enough said.


Tracklist:
01 – The Big Screw [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]
02 – Mm-hm [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]

Bay Tremore – Rockin’ Steady {rel#140}

Artist: Bay Tremore
Title:
Rockin’ Steady
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
rel#140
Release Date:
1998/07/10


More of the pretty unique Bay Tremore junglistics, and this one is bordering on the gorgeous – full of little turns and cut-ups and organ stabs and drums on drums, and for four channels too, it’s maddeningly good. Apologies to all those bands using their thirty-two channel studios and making music worse than this – we didn’t mean to show you up, honestly 😉

Relief+Skizo – Sysreq {rel#139}

Artist: Relief+Skizo
Title:
Sysreq
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
rel#139
Release Date:
1998/07/06


Maan, we wish those Danish supadudes sent us a free pair of safety goggles with every release. Relief+Skizo blow the whole damn joint up with this barely logical, getting kinda vicious noisefest. Heck, the last half of this track sounds like it was made in a blender, slowly sucking the Prodigy down into a large plughole. And out the other side into _hell_. And what’s up with the fly invading yr speakers at the start? Mayhem.
