Hooligan "Hear You Now" Album Review

Where's a hooligan when you need one?
I caught wind of this track on a compilation CD a few years back, and though I've searched quite a bit, it seems DJ Hooligan doesn't do much in the realm of publishing (Though his name's all over bootleg tracks from the lounges and dance floors). The female vocals, though heavily synthed, are sweet and draw you in. These are complimented by the wide array of instruments that were chosen and used quite well (heavy in the piano\stringed instrument sounds with effects). All-in-all, I'd recommend this one, since the CD's dirt cheap you're pretty much paying for shipping to get a solid set of mixes on a great song.

Andy Stott "Merciless" Album Review

LUCA MAINI's igloomag.com REVIEW ::
LUCA MAINI's igloomag.com REVIEW ::

(10.27.06) Prepare yourself for one of the smoothest techno records ever made. If you liked Claro Intelecto's Neurofibro, then you must know that Merciless is even more slick and classic.

The analog bass of "Florence" recalls LFO of the early 90's, only rarefied and softened by piano tones. No matter how fast the tempo is, the crystalline perfection of the beats and the stripped out acid tones make this album perfect for home listening, sipping a Martini on the couch. With this laid back setting you will also fully appreciate the dramatic coupling between eerie strings and minimal melodies of unheard moving beauty. This feature is more evident in a couple of bubbling dub tracks, "Choke" and "Blocked," whose deadly slowness reveals immense spaces reverberating with sound. Beyond this relaxing attitude, there's no doubt some of these tunes will cause havoc on any floor, like "Come To Me" that has a tremendous pulsating bassline, or "Boutique," whose slapped bass injects a funky party vibe just before the epic ending. After the aforementioned "Blocked," comes the reinterpretation of Claro Intelecto's "Peace Of Mind," reduced to bare atmospheres and tapped piano keys to create a terrific emotional farewell.

There are absolutely no excuses to pass on this one, such a quality record must not be missed, you'll be amazed by its sheer perfection.
