Suburban Knight – The Art Of Stalking

Detroit par excellence if you know you know...know know know

This track features a variety of abstract textures with post-apocalyptic reminiscences perfect atmosphere for a set by Mr. DJ Hell.

Quite dreary weary weather at the moment scattered rain fall with periodical thunder flashes and invented coldness

Several different wordls ocurring

PEACE

I'm going to be honest here. I know I'll be getting slated and I know I have bad music taste so I don't need to be reminded of that by anyone else, thank you very much. But I've never really been too fond of the Ludovic Remix. Yes, granted, the production, recording, mastering etc is a much better calibre compared to the original Transmat version. But who cares really? I know I don't. I feel it takes away the essence from the original gritty 1990 creepy and unsettling versions entirely. In my opinion, it's less The Art Of Stalking and more a half-hearted, unfinished attempt, a 'forced' remix if you like, of 'The Art Of Off-Beat Pogoing' instead. I quite a few techno DJs were all over this in 1993/94 but I didn't think it particularly fitted in with so many vastly superior records at the time. It's fine in amongst a long set of other records. Yet, it kind of stands out like a male Humpback Whale's swollen knob only to be given the spanish archer AKA the cold shoulder AKA the brush off after a long promise of open sesame right at the last second. And from memory, quite irritating to effortlessly mix in with other tunes. It made me stop in my tracks on the dancefloor. I find it quite jarring. It's the original 1990 Art Of Stalking / The Worlds all the way for me, thank you very much. Creepy, subtle, hypnotic, otherwordly.

Mixes well into Shoss by the Magus Project ;) DARK ;)

This isn't just Detroit Techno! This is the New Wave darkwave! Serious damage!

Seminal, pounding, brutal, yet melodic and warm tune. Usually played pitched up a bit. Names are mixed up but what is now known as TAOS is the more pounding of the 2 - the deepside remixes are worth a look, too. On FNAC?
Flipside is softer with a plinky keyboard but still a tune.

Not that it adds anything but it's good to hear about Ludovic's mix and the titles issue (though he does not go into details at all) from the actual source.

A Hoxton Baseclef Basement banger back in the day when the area was edgy and dangerous (you would walk very briskly to get in + out of the club from your car across the square).... Tony Thorpe (Moody Boys) dropped this at the BC (where it was completely dark aside from a blue light).... amazing days...

I was in college at the time...1990... I played this to mate and best friend.... He finally gave it back to me a year or so later...I wonder why/!
Lloyd Owes Me A packet- The Pounder mixes well with this?
