solaris august 2006 techno reviews

by
Andreas Kremer - Meister Aller Klassen –Working Vinyl - WV024
Andreas pulls out another master work here. The first a scranz track that both defines and rocks dancfloors. Second is the more chill trax that begs of a sweet dreams rift blended in. The flip has more of a chill ambient tone then build to the second track that is the speaker killer we all love him for. Take it and enjoy. You wont be disappointed.


Unknown - Somebody's Watching Me – Schranz - SCHRANZ049

This single side is the same as sick as this label has been doing. I am not sure who did this but I love the man or woman for it. This remix beats it with both techno then going into a breaks breakdown to build it back to the floor stomping and groove that will leave people begging and trainspotting for sets to come.


Arkus P - Protonenpower EP – Abstract - ABSTRACT007

This man never rests. His grooves always hits light speed. The hardest Schranz out there. To spice it up the second track is more slow to start with a nice vocal weaved within then works its way back to the throat slashing that he is known for. Crash is a bit less hard but raw and dirty none the less. A must for those times where being uncivilized is the norm. With us when is it not?


Adam Beyer – Stereotypes – Cocoon Recordings - COCOON025

Adam breaks the mold with yet another killer album. Taking it down from the sound I am use to and moving
in to a more chill and progressive techno. The feeling is still nothing less than this master has shown in the past. The flips breakdown reminds me a bit of AFX in style. A must have for those times you are needing to make the ambiance just right.


Guy McAffer & Chris Liberator - Raw 35 – RAW - RAW035

Chris teamsup with the Geezer to make this floor rocker! Nothing less than spectacular rhythm and groove that will keep people shaking all night long. The flip takes a more acid approach that Raw has been known for. Don’t take it lightly. These things are too good to pass up. I wish I could say more, but things like this are better left heard. Trust me. . .

heptalogy honors eclipse

A random encounter found us in downtown Little Rock, anticipating a performance of Holst's "The Planets" by the  Arkansas Symphony Orchestra .  The much-anticipated event included a vocal cameo from the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Women's Choir.  An evening of colorful sound began with "Night Ferry" by Anna Clyne , exploring the extremes of manic depression.   The chaotic range of emotional intensities seemed to leave the audience in a state of bewildered fascination. After an intermission wide enough to refresh mind and body, "The Planets" by Gustav Holst exploded in the mind's eye next.  This particular space heptalogy is likely one of the most recognizable symphonies, enjoyed through a variety of inspirations like the score from Star Wars.  The choir entered near the end, perhaps at Neptune, blending in imperceptibly with the violins and their accompaniment.   Their voices appeared as if by magic from behind the sc

d returns to the jam

  The Saturday Open Jam has been missing from our agenda for quite some time now.  It is one the best ways to burn up a Saturday afternoon in Kansas City, listening to some of the best rock and blues musician in town.  This particular occasion featured the return of a longtime resident of the event who had been off the roster for more than year following multiple personal crises, one of which nearly ended his ability to perform at all.  Taking his spot behind the drums once again for a couple of tunes, "D" picked up right where he left off, keeping cadence as if nothing had ever happened.  There were tears among some of the crowd that were closer to him, understanding the extent of his dilemma.  After playing, he admitted stumbling a few times, but everything sounded great from our side of the stage and we look forward to seeing him play again more often.
