This is one step away from this, surely . . .

But not as good, obviously.

Vaguely related - I liked what I heard of that Parasites of the Western World album that Damon found. How was the rest of it?

**Viva Chiba** · 10-07-2009, 07:20 PM

Fucking good.

A bit of intrepid googling (ie enter the terms "blog" and "parasites of the western world") should reveal illicit mp3 copies of the same.

Their 2nd lp isn't quite as raw or entertaining, but has one cool track I played out Evil Kitty.

The debut seems far more varied and less slick; the really good track on side 1 is called "Mo", and the start of side deux - "Accessories" - is also most pleasing.

Allegedly these dudes also released a single which I shall have to find. According to the irrefutable oracle of interweb (all hail!) one of 'em is still making music, and has indeed rereleased one of the long players on those wee shiny crow deterring diminutive discs.

I am also contemplating sticking the cover of said debut recording onto a t shaped shirt.

Incidentally if one of you outbid me on the los microwaves lp on ebay today - I'm not happy.

And I blame electro suze for telling everyone how good it is

Screw you! I told YOU how good that album was! You can thank me for my tip!

P.s. AND I was going to get that for your birthday! Urgh!

I agree, the fools theme is never going to compete with the french minimal synth classic, but I like your comparison.

**Viva Chiba** · 10-07-2009, 07:39 PM

I'd have been insulted if you'd spent £16.20 - nay - £18.50 inc p & p - on it! We're in the midst of a recession woman!

Or even WORSE - if you'd bought the C-*cough*-D.

Anyway, I don't want it now everyone knows how good it is - the mystique has gone!

Mind you everyone did like that single when I played it. . . rule #7 of djing. . .rip off. . I mean. . .glean inspiration from everyone else's best tunes. . .

I expect you to follow suit and treat us to a "challenging" gabba set at the next Evil Kitty. . . heheh.

**Electro_suze** · 10-07-2009, 07:43 PM

Pah! Ill buy the cd for myself, you can have the vinyl copy. Anyway, everyone else only knows about it because you blabbed about how good it was - I merely asked rich if he'd heard it.

Dont worry, I've got some equally cool stuff to hip you to later this evening. And I wont tell a soul...well, not until you start bidding on a copy

Meh and double meh. Foiled again. . .

**KESSAKUSHU** · 11-07-2009, 11:05 AM

more on the dance side of things and some people would call it industrial, but pah! not much in the difference

oh and the lads at Optimo have done a synth friendly mix
think you'll dig it suze

http://www.optimo.co.uk/echationew/viewtopic.php?t=2490

All great stuff - that thomas leer and robert rental album is brilliant. I have one anne clarke album, but it's quite gloomy - in the vein of dead can dance maybe. it's not great on first listen, but the song in the link makes me think I should give her another go.

**Electro_suze** · 13-07-2009, 10:27 AM

By the way, can anyone give me a hand identifying the tracks on Datasette's industrial strength mix. It can be downloaded here;

http://www.datassette.net/?l=mixes

I know P1/E - 49 second romance is on it, and Grauzone's eisbar, but that's about it.

It's been bugging me for AGES!

Actually, to be consistent, I want 'maxsynth' too, can't be bothered with minimum synth - that just sounds mean and heartless. Please advise too.

the mix i just put in the home pruductions section may well qualify as 'maxsynth', quite possibly.

**SARGE** · 13-07-2009, 12:50 PM

Tepidwave and shitsynth is what i'm into. Its all abit like glam, which is shit.

Up the 60s & the 70s and perhaps some asian stuff from the 80s!

only tangentially related but some nice pics

Just spotted this on Stones Throw site

The Minimal Wave Tapes, Vol. 1

sounds pretty good but the samples are annoyingly very short

Still on the lookout for a good hotwave / maximal synth comp though...

**ashra** · 15-12-2009, 03:37 PM

anybody got any copies of this - looks very interesting!

**MPFlapp** · 15-12-2009, 03:44 PM

Two tasty links there

This might be of interest Peter Hope & The Jonathan S. Podmore Method - reissue of "Dry Hip Rotation" with the bonus "Kitchenette" 12" on the end of the disk... over here

Even if you are not a CD fan - worth a check to know the vinyl to check out

**Filthy Rich** · 06-02-2010, 10:08 PM

"anybody got any copies of this - looks very interesting!"

Not me but some mention of it in this article which looks as though it ought to be interesting and give a good overview of some of the sounds (haven't read it yet though I must admit).

**ashra** · 07-02-2010, 12:27 AM

Has anyone identified any good MAXIMAL SYNTH or HOTWAVE tracks as Pitch was looking for yet?

Jungle Wonz is the main thing that makes me think of HOTWAVE
