crystal distortion...

[wired]

holy shit...
watch this...:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2514814586&category=1597

just seen it when i searched for fun... the price... no...ebay...

what i wanted to ask...:

did anybody of you have some livesets from crystal distortion? do they play in germany somedays???
and... does anybody have c_d's release on cercle rouge records? i tried to get it, but it was sold out :(

maybe i get some nice livesets from somebody in magdeburg... but that's not shure at the moment...

[grobelaar]

I have a tape with one of his live sets on it, been meaning to copy it to CD for sometime... I also am halfway through downloading one from 1040 in Leipzig, so I reckon he must play in Germany. I'll let you know when I finally get round to doing it...

Saw him play at Ugly Funk in London twice last year - totally amazing...

...dunno about that rekkid though - shit is worth what somewhat is willing to pay for it - and the best place to find those nutter is on e-bay :)

[grobelaar]

Oh yeah and I have his two recent double EPs on Expressilion, really good, but weird at first I thought I was stoned, but having listened to them through several times I still can't decide which speed some of the tracks can be played at. Stick 'em on at 45 and you get classic hard french techno - stick 'em on at 33 and they sound like really cool techno records ... Does anyone else that these records, and think the same or am I just mad, or still a sad fast techno junkie?

[KaOz]

i have a liveact from him
at 10/40

[bracket]

last time i heard crystal distortion live he played a tune that was far far 2 much like tippers tune on noodle 4 - fucked up punk shit -2 stepx2 kinda thing - who was 1st......???

[M H]

I have this record.... why would anyone want to sell it? Strange, I remember when these guys were selling these records out of the back of a truck at free parties... he's gonna be playing in Manchester in May.....

[wheezer]

can somebody clue me in a bit more - is he also associated with the spiral tribe then? I've read a fair amount about those guys, their records always go for ~100 € on ebay btw...

[TH?]

... the guys frome ebay seem to be very crazy!!! I have the one on cercle rouge and some others by Simon (Crystal Distortion) and often there really exist just a few hundred of each, but it is really mental to pay more than 100 Euro for a record, isn't it!?!

...that's really funny how they sell their stuff... quite often I have dog hair on my vinyls, because they went through a lot of trucks, parties, flats etc. ...:))

@grobelaar: the both ep's on expressillon are great one's... i'd like the expr11 (our weapon is noise) more, expecially a&c-side (very nice to mix them in a set...) i think expr11 is in 45rpm, and expr22 is 33 & 45, but which side on which speed... i don't know. i wasn't sure like you when i got this records, but when you play the 45'tracks on -6 on a 1210 player, they're quite good :-)

@kaoz: you have a set at 1040? i get some sets now (i hope) from somebody... wish to share some sets? 1040 against some others?

@th?: you have this one on cercle rouge? but i'm sure you won't sell it? how about a mp3/cd-rip of the tracks on it? i wrote to the guys of cercle rouge, expressillon and logos productions, but nobody still has a copy :-(

...now i know that crystal distortion is only one guy? i thougt there were two, but i had no idea yet... i know his records for maybe half a year, and try to collect these tracks i'd like... i heard some older one's who were too much d'n'b for me :-) but when i get'em i buy them too...

[nimmina]

i have also some crystal distortion releases and i had the same problem that i didnt know which speed is right? however, play it like you want as it sounds good :)

wired: i got a cd from crystal, but its fast as hell! if i can find that cd i could send you a copy.

[apple]

@wired
you get live sets from magdeburg? who is da guy? i live near Magdeburg.
perhaps i know him/her(?)...?

[TH?]

of course I won't sell my copy!! A friend of mine, where I got it from had quite a lot from his distributor, I think about 10 copies or so, but I don't think he has one left! sorry,........ do you have someone under your folks, who has also the record, where you could record it?

[Marolo]

you can buy a lot of crystal distortion here: http://www.expressillon.com/

[wired]

@nimmina: the cd... is it one of the "chip jockey" cds from expressillon?

@apple: do you know the ostcode-board? meta?

@th?: the only person i know which has this record is daniel benavente... he played it some weeks ago on a early morning... but he don't gives away anything to record :-(((

@marolo: i know :-) i got some releases and other records from there, friendly contact and absolutely quick delivery (i ordered wednesday, and i got the rec's friday)

[tsr_tomas]

i want to take a listen to.... i like distrotion.

[apple]

yes! 10/40! it rocks!

@all: look at this link...

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1597&item=2515335198

i think some guys at ebay are totally blind... in one auction there are 16 bids, 121euro actually... and in another auction the same record left ebay with no bids, start price 20$... i think most of the ebayer's (expecially germans) are so stupid, they only look in their country... i found some rare records in the u.k. for less money...

Hmmm, had a listen to that 10/40 set, I've only got pt 2 and it isn't live PA - its someone playing rekkids... I do sometimes wonder about the authenticity of these sets - often you get things that might have the last 10mins of a set and then someone else playing...

[wired]

i don't remember who posted the link to the many spiral-tribe auctions at ebay... i watched these auctions to the end, and i counted the total price of these records... the seller got 1473,23euro for them... more than i earn for a 140h/month job and more than i have at the bank... crazy... i want such records, too... for a new car :-)

it will change everything you think you know about us.

At LAST!!!!some U.K feedback!! shame the topic matter involves those who've lost faith, given up raving, gotten a job, car, life, family, mortgage, lost contact with their weed dealer,swapped techno music for god tv,and need to sell their favoured treasure of
rave memorabilia to finish paying off this year's tax returns.


or are they just stupid? what about the guy whose gonna make twice that much in a couple o years? what happens if I sell MY last copy????????? Could i end up with a house in beverly hills???


naaah , far too common, anyway, L.A's a fuckin ghetto.



Disillusioned????? think about us exiles abroad!!! Think about what we feel every time we come back and see what's changed- NOTHING!
What we see around us, the very people we are trying to set free imprisoning themselves yet again by placing material value higher than their rights to freedom - IS IT ANY WONDER WE'RE ABOUT TO GO TO WAR????? IF EVEN TODAY'S KIDS MAKE MORE EFFORT TO KILL THEMSELVES THAN SAVE THEIR WORLD?????

Well, i hope you all enjoy the new record , we had you, the british public in mind this time, orders can be made by email to the address shown on the page, be the first in your street to own one, who knows? maybe you can sell this one for a few hunderd euro's long
after we're dead and gone - if you don't kill yourselves through drugs and debauchery first..........


anyway, for those who can , will, and do give a toss, may 24th, manchester. somewhere. see you there.


crystal distortion.

[wired]

@S1mOnE: thanks for the link... now i have something to order :-)

if i understood you right, you're wondering about what some people do with their records... selling it on ebay...
i couldn't understand such people, too... ok, 1500euros are much money, but i wouldn't sell my records collection if i have another way to get some money... never... no... things i've collected over years i wouldn't sell anymore...

how you you came to this board expecially in the time i started this thread here? :-)

great records!

have a nice day,
cheers,
sven

[s1m0nE]

1st i heard was yesterday morning, somebody linked me to this page and the rest is recent history.

hope you enjoy the tunes. WHere are you, .de?

know any distributors there? we need all the help we can get.

stay tuned for some more stuff coming out on labrat audio, projects in the pipeline are a re-issue ( not telling you which tracks yet) and a shared project by esther ofei and michael forshaw.

anyway, lets enjoy our last 48 hours of peace on earth. bye. si

[wired]

@s1mOnE: you're right, i'm from germany. i don't know many distributors here, only daniel benavente from neue heimat / humpty records.
i mailed to labrat audio for one of the record you linked above, i'll wait for an answer :)
...and i'm stay tuned for some new stuff...

you're right with the last 48h... now they're less than 40... i hear the lastest news yet at my working break... unnecessary war, never legal nor moral...

peace!

"our weapon is noise" is a complete classic record

my favourite track is turbo filter..very very nasty
i think i play my copy on 45 -6 or -4

i`m hoping to see crystal distortion live again,in manchester in may
