View the full archive of Dilated Choonz Bass Oddity David Bowie – Crystal Japan No posts for a while so I thought I’d come through with a little something for the weekend. David Bowie is a rather divisive figure among Dilate Choonz bloggers – some of us think he’s a genius, others think he’s a complete dud. I must admit that listening to 80s albums like Tonight and Never Let Me Down would swing one towards the latter category fairly quickly, but if you look at his 70s work, he put very few feet wrong.

Robert Leiner – Aqua Viva I’ve been transferring a bit of vinyl to FLAC & mp3 over the last few weeks and there some great records I forgot I even had. Octaves/Tremeloes by Sonic Boom is one. Visions From the Past from Robert Leiner is another. And this is one of the best tracks from that long player, going all the way back to 1993 or thereabouts. Robert Leiner is a brilliant Swedish electronic artist who was capable of both ambient techno and a drop of the harder stuff ...

The album was recorded in Pemberton’s bedroom (doh!) with only a 4-track tape recorder, a Korg Wavestation synth, an old Yamaha Portasound keyboard and a Boss effects unit. For all of us who have been constantly claiming that we would be able to make good tracks “if ...

Well worth 90 minutes of your time. Synth-”pop” started out as a bunch of geezers in industrial locations such as Sheffield, Liverpool and East London influenced by science fiction and early Kr ...

Lego Feet (Autechre) – Leaves On The Line Continuing Hal’s Autumnal theme, here is a track taken from the very first release (in 1991) on the Manchester-based SKAM Records label from Lego Feet, an early alias of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, AKA Autechre. The stuff on SKAM I have heard (which is admittedly not that much) is interesting and experimental, but generally a bit too challenging for my tastes for everyday listening. Think of the later impenetrable Autechre stuff and ...

Here’s an ambient effort with a rather autumnal feel from Beaumont Hannant, the greatest ambient techno artist to have also managed indie rockers Shed Seven. No, that’s damning with faint praise – Basic Data Manipulation (which Double K has posted from before I think) and the 2x double L ...

Keeping the soaring strings and ominous bass and adding a few deft touches here and there, but replacing the rolling breaks with glitchy ones. Anecdotally, Goldie doesnt take too kindly to people ripping his shit, but this has reminded me of how fine timeless is as an album, and made me hunt down th ...

Highly recommended – go and grab it now. But then I remembered this absolutely awesome ‘92 “remix” by the Future Sound Of London, which preserves pretty much nothing at all of the original (there are a few vocal snippets used, and ...

This track is off their third album- Tri Repetae. Apparently, their track names arent intended to mean much of anything, but I like the name of this one because it sounds like “U2”, pronounced with a brummy accent. No resemblance to the paunchy cel ...

All pretty sleazy and banging as you might expect, selected and produced by a team that includes Debonair Samir who’s Samir’s Theme is a classic B*more banger. I’m pretty sure this one i ...

Last year Benge released “Twenty Systems”, a CD packaged in a minature book sleeve with an accompanying 64-page booklet. I was lucky enough to find it while browsing in the Rough Trade shop near Brick Lane – one of the reasons I still enjoy the physical experience of browsing in shops like Rough Trade is ...

Dr S Gachet & MC GQ – Live @ AWOL, November 1993 A special treat for you here – over an hour of top quality ‘93 uplifting hardcore from the man like Dr S Gachet. This was one of my favourite tapes back in the day and I was gonna make a rip of it but instead managed to download this version which actually sounds better than my old tape does these days. We’ve had quite a few of the tracks here on Dilated Choonz over the last few years, but this is how they shoul ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Groovy Acid Paisley Sq. – Transitional Phase I’ve recently been listening through some old acid compilations (as you do), and was struck by how un-dated this track sounds for something over 20 years old – although this could just be because the 80’s revival type sounds of recent years make the dated sound contemporary once more! The production is smoother and less sparse than a lot of the acid stuff from the time, and the acid line has something of a rock-guitar-riff feel to ...

It’s by Audion- an alias of Matthew Dear- who previously graced the virtual pages of DC when Squeaker posted Elementary Lover back when he was blogging regular-like on DC in 07 (ah, halcyon days!). I first came across Matt Dear when he put out an EP called Warsaw as False on Plus 8 records in about 2002. He’s been steadily establishing hims ...

The MS Series was a CD that appeared in 1995 on Pete Namlook’s Fax records label by two guys called Pino and Wildjamin, who had previously collaborated with Dr Atmo on a ...

This track is off the soundtrack to a sev’s heist movie called Diamonds, and features a nifty bass and strings introduction, followed by a medium ...

The mighty Mos has been one of my favourite MCs, since I first heard him on De La’s Stakes is High LP and he continued to delight with the Black Star album with Talib Kweli and the fantastic Black on Both Sides. I kinda lost track of him for a while after that- I think he was concentrating on his acting- and he hasnt put much out in the last 3 years or so, so it’s good ...

Golden Girls – Kinetic (David Morley Remix) This tune is tenuously linked to my recent Global Communication posting (in my mind at least) in that back in the day I had both tracks on a tape made up from my favourite tracks from the Narcosis compilation and the excellent Apollo Compilation, which was out around the same time, and which this track comes from. Kinetic is a total classic of its time. There were many high-profile remixes of it (by people like Orbital, Frank de Wulf ...
