No macho park garage is legowelt and orgue electronique. gay cat park are old italo. Early 80's. Haven't been able to find any info on them as to who they are or where they're from.

[thomas hooked]

i assume the name is a homage, conscious or otherwise...

[cut out]

There’s a good distinction to be made for me between albums that stay as good as they were when you first got them and those that you have to grow to love – and I think the latter are better in the long run – I love suddenly ‘getting’ an album or a specific track that before then you hadn’t been that fussed by.

So my top growers are probably:

Rein Sanction – ‘Broc’s Cabin’ and ‘Mariposa’
UT – ‘Griller’
Sonic Youth – ‘Bad Moon Rising’ & ‘Daydream Nation’
Low – ‘Trust’
Beastie Boys – ‘Check Your Head’
It Bites – ‘Eat Me In St. Louis’
Super_Collider – ‘Raw Digits’
Brutal Truth – ‘Need to Control’
Fugazi – ‘Steady Diet of Nothing’
Mu-Ziq – ‘Tango ‘n’ Vectif’

… I could go on

It will be. the dutch west coast electro sound is very italo-based and all their influences are old italo bands.

[thomas hooked]

Soulseek is your best bet for downloading them. As i said, i haven't been able to find any info on gay cat park so that's a difficult one to find. Charlie - Spacer Woman is available on vinyl on The Disco-tech of Alexander Robotnik along with many other classics. My soulseek ID is electrobix if you wanna download them off me. I have Yer_Maw to thank for pretty much all my italo folder.

[thomas hooked]

nice. unfortunately i'm on the mac. the only things you can downlad on limewire are dancehall, commercial hip hop, vintage american indie and mislabelled fleetwood mac tracks.

[thomas hooked]

continuing on that premier timeframe: gangstarr hard to earn.

[love_tempo]

I come back to these ones very often:

James Mason - Rhythmn of Life
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage
Shuggie Otis - Inspiriation Information
Wes Montegomery - Incredible Jazz Guitar of ...
Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius
John Coltrane - Giant Steps
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders

...and of course:

Stevie Wonder - Talking book / Innervisions / Fulfillingness ...

I also like Bytes, Selected Ambient I & Tango'n'Vectif very much from that era.

[Sheridan]

for me:

dj shadow: entroducing..
autechre: amber
company flow: funcrusherplus
jeff mills: the other day: axis compilation (not really an lp, but a collection of great tracks that although released seperately, work together like an lp)
