telemetrik

I don’t know how long it’s been since I have posted something, but as I have noticed a distinct lack of electronic music chatter here lately I figured it was high time.  Here are a few records that have been killing me lately.

Telemetrik: My Lightyear – This very well may have become my all time favorite drum n bass record of all time.  It’s melodic, technical and absolutely filthy.  It makes me miss the Seattle drum n bass scene sooo much.  Be sure to grab the sampler too, they are actually the first two tracks of the album and for some weird reason got delivered separately.

Speaking of drum n bass, pick up the Spor remix on this single by The Qemists.  It’s a freakin sick track and actually directly responsible for leading me to the Telemetrik record.

Trifonic: Emergence - If you dig Hybrid or BT you need this record in your collection.   The vocal tracks are somewhat unnecessary (but not as irritating as some of BT’s later poppy stuff), but I forgive them because the rest is so stunning.  Oh, and the video for Parks on Fire?  It will absolutely melt your brain.  Watch it in full screen.

Another quick related aside, BT’s new single just dropped a few days ago.  I dig it.  You probably only need the first track though, I felt most of the remixes were pretty forgettable.

Freeland:  Cope™ – This one might actually be closer to a rock record, and therefore more palatable to some of the casuals.  It feels a bit done before, but there is still something about Freeland’s stomp box electro production that manages to keep my attention.  I can’t gush about this one as much as my other selections, but it’s a solid record and worth a mention.

    Brian,

    Can you give a hint as to the bitrate of the BT single?

    I was burned last week by the Fort Knox Five remix album — 125k bitrate you guys? Are you serious? I know, VBR, but there is more than one VBR setting. Once I saw the rates, I deleted the mp3s and bought it from lala.com. Put in a request for my downloads back — IGNORED — but that’s OK, I guess the staff is too busy filing all the Clash and Miles Davis tracks.

    Oops. Yes. I’m bitter as hell.

    But seriously, BT? Is it safe to download?

    Subway’s “II” on Soul Jazz takes the krautrock tendencies of Lindstrom/Prins Thomas’ “II” even further. Really nice analog feel.
