year end wrap up:
Ten quality albums released in the year 1999 (alphabetical
order):
Thomas Brinkmann--Soul Center (NL W.V.B.)
Chaser--Game On! (UK Soma)
Kit Clayton--Nek Sanalet (DM ~Scape)
Drexciya--Neptune's Lair (DM Tresor)
I-F--The Man From P.A.C.K. (US Interdimensional
Transmissions/DM Disko B)
Innerzone Orchestra--Programmed (US Planet E)
Legion Of Green Men--Floating In Shallow Water (CAN Post
Contemporary/UK Swim~)
Plaid--Rest Proof Clockwork (UK Warp)
Stewart Walker--Stabiles (DM Mille Plateaux)
Super_Collider--Head On (UK Loaded)
Two quality albums promoed spring 1999, but not out
commercially until spring 2000:
Dan Curtin--Pregenesis (BE Elypsia)
Sean Deason--Allegories & Metaphors (US
Matrix/Intuit-Solar)
Best promo-only vinyl release of 1999:
Chromatix--Life-Like EP (promoed by Brooklyn's Spelunk
label;
will not be released)
Local favorite:
Halifax's Stinkin' Rich/Buck 65 continues to blaze
trails for
every up-and-comin'
turntablist/wordologist, while juggling cross country (Canada
and US) recording sessions and
memorable live performances.
Biggest disappointment of the year:
Commercially available DJ mixed CDs that are either badly
mixed by a DJ and/or "mixed" via
ProTools by a studio engineer. As the electronic music scene
sees DJ culture growing exponentially,
it's not surprising that this is happening, but it shows an
obvious concern for money over music.
Future:
It's great to see a continued getting-back-to-basics approach
in electronic music, whether it's the
usage of more musicians (as opposed to
one-person-plus-a-computer bands) or simply
acknowledging that less can be more and busier is not always
better.

SUCTION (Canada)
CHART
our top 13 [non-suction] records from 1999 in approximate order:
[1] [various artists] - "oral-olio" 12" EP (ersatz audio)
solid EP, and "lost love" by adult is one of our favorite tracks from
the
1990s. techno-pop music with vocals - inspired by electronic pop of the
80s, informed by electronic developments of the 90s. we need more of this.
[2] pluxus - "fas2" CD LP (slowball)
a lot of electronic music settles for too little in the melody dept;
an
endless loop of the same 3 notes producing a meandering melody that's ok
at
best... that's why we love this pluxus record. melodic sense is a talent
that few have. pluxus
absolutely have it... and they must have a really
strange collection of analog gear - the sound & production is so quirky
and warm. highlights: "boa", "herr preset", "genie 44".
[3] perspects - "desire & efficency" 12" EP (ersatz audio)
the title track in particular is instrumental techno-pop perfection.
this
is one of those records that makes me kick myself for selling my roland
cr-78.
[4] g.d.luxxe - "20th door" 12" EP (interdimensional
transmissions)
the track "minds" in particular. new order is always referenced with
this
record, but besides that (i mean we do love new order) this record is
really diverse (there's a definite industrial dance music influence that
seems to go unnoticed), creative & inspired.
[5] mat-101 - "goodbye mum!" CD LP (balance)
the best tracks on here are totally over-the-top, with 50 analog
synths
playing at once and more good ideas in a single section than found on most
albums. highlights: "crash hero", "arcade", "mennen".
[6] adult. - "pressure suit" track (ersatz audio)
one word (& not one we'd casually throw around): deviant.
[7] frederik schikowski- "ich vergeh vor sehnsucht nach dir I"
track
(trakehner)
this track is so weird. it sounds like einstürzende neubauten
doing
a
beatles cover in german. it's that catchy.
[8] lali puna - "tridecoder" 12" LP (morr music/darla)
we don't know much about indie-pop. for us stereolab only sounds good
on
paper, but this is how we wanted them to sound. this is pop music
perfection - this group is going to be famous.
[9] b.fleischmann - "breakfast at rhiz" track (morr music)
if pole's gear does indeed inherently sound like THAT, then this
track
sounds like what solvent or lowfish or maybe omd-circa-1985 would make in
pole's studio. we like stuff that somehow reminds us of us.
[10] david kristian - "bad mood no.3672" track (alien8)
we wish david gave us this track to release.
[11] fizzarum - "ursa majoris" track (city.centre.offices)
we @ suction are very picky about demos, but when we got this track
as a
demo we emailed fizzarum within 15 minutes about releasing it. they told
us
CCO were already releasing it on block02. the next day CCO asked solvent &
lowfish to do block03. weird.
[12] phoenecia - "bob9" track (nature)
old school schematic-style. sounds literally like something they
recorded
in the early schematic days... and we love those days.
[13] lassigue bendthaus - "angie" track (kk)
this rolling stones cover version is undeniably mind-blowing. an
exceptional (and rare) example of DSP wizardry that is not wankery.
