Essential minimal techno - without poser value.......2007-05-19

I found out about Berlin's Basic Channel label in 1995, through this CD, which absolutely blew my mind back then - as it does now. The "Basic Reshape" of Manuel Göttsching's E2E4, the second track on this CD, is the single most astonishing piece of minimal esthetics I know, infusing edgy cold desolation with a glowing warmth and depth that is beyond me to describe. It needs to be heard.

Q Loop, the CD's opener which hasn't ever been released on vinyl - more's the pity - sets the perfect stage for the genius of what follows, with a muffled but absolutely gut-wrenching kickdrum deeper than anything any of the pop-corn dance genres have to offer.

Quadrant (dub), the Radiance tracks... if you have any love for honest, non-poser minimalism with soul, you need this CD. Describing it only distracts from it, so I'll stop.

It never had a name..........2007-04-21

I purchased this album back in 1995 when it came in a tin box. Never knew what to call it, the cd had no info except for the tracks on the back and distorted cover art that I couldn't read. Yet with a little effort I found it. I purchased it when I was 13 only because the packaging looked interesting.

At 13 it was garbage, but in the present it has become a jewel in my music collection, and a valuable tool for live mixing at parties as a 3rd and 4th channel loop track that I use as a canvas/foundation for my DJing.

This album isn't what I'd call listener friendly, but any good DJ could make good use of such an album. It is an essential tool to my mixing and can be credited for my appeal, and sound asthetic.

cold minimalism.......2006-12-24

This a strong record -- it fuses cold cold icy minimalism with industrial approaches to dub -- and it works in quite a unique way.

It is fairly uncategorisable -- one moment it sounds like John Cage or Steve Reich's avant garde cold emptiness, the next minute it sounds llike African Head Charge or a stripped down, serious, Cuban percussion album.

This record can't really be compared to much else -- and therein lies its strength.

This is very very cold music, grey, harsh, industrial sounds, serious and often depressingly bleak.

If you love Throbbing Gristle, and dub, and avant garde, then this album will have something for you.

It sounds like a recording of a thundering , clattering post war Berlin factory -- suddenly found itself being trampled on and dissected by Lee Perry in Kingston Jamaica.

Having said that -- it avoids ALL the rotten cliches of the perfectly horrible, awful, "white reggae/euro reggae" dub scene, currently fairly popular in europe.

Album Description

Scion (Pete Kuschnereit aka Substance and Rene Löwe aka Vainqueur) have arranged and reworked back-catalog tracks from Basic Channel (Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus) with the help of Ableton's "LIVE" audio software.

The selection is focused on the more clubby tracks of the BC projects: Cyrus (Enforcement, Recall, Inversion), Phylyps (Trak I, Trak II), Quadrant (Q 1.1, Infinition) and Octagon/Octaedre. Also included is the 'basic reshape' of Carl Craig's Paperclip People classics "The Climax" and "Remake" and other atmospheric tracks as found on the Basic Channel CD. Most of the tracks were previously only available on vinyl 12-inches.

The result is not a simple mix-CD or compilation, but the connection of new software possibilities combined with Scion's experience as DJ's and live act.

verry nice!.......2007-02-19

This CD is like candy to the ears. If U are in to Techno, this is one of the CD`s u must have in your shelve.

The essence and completion of techno.......2004-11-25

Basic Channel provided the raw material and Scion extracted the essence of it, to produce techno so complete that one gets the feeling that nothing substantial can ever be added.
Track 1 is one of the most sublime pieces of techno ever produced, and the rest seems almost insignificant in comparison, even though it is also superb techno.
Basic Channel was the frontier to which techno was pushed at the middle of the 90s. It is so essential and complete that it took almost ten years before anyone managed to take this music further; I believe it has only been done by Fluxion and Octex.

wrong town ignore the 4 stars, I give it 1.......2003-10-16

I am re-reviewing this cd, on first listen I liked it but it very quickly began to iratate me, unfortunately I cant change the stars, in which case I would give this cd 1 star. I hate it!

I love maurizio, his and mark's music is some of the most beautiful and sublime music ever made, this cd is wrong town!, dont buy it, get the originals and enjoy them in their entirity instead.

the mix is messy and far to busy for such minimal music, and he seems to make the music sound like rave doof, which is so far away from what the origanals sound like.

also check out mauurizio's, burial mix and rhythm and sound release's

Thank you Scion, Basic Channel, Tresor, Berlin, Detroit!!!.......2003-10-07

For those that know Basic Channel/Chain Reaction/Maurizio.. etc. etc. etc., Arrange and Process is definitely a must buy!

Simply, I would like to publicly and internationally THANK Basic Channel and like labels for giving us their perception and realization of sonic minimalism. Honestly, entities such as Arrange and Process give me reason to breathe....

State Of Hypnotica.......2003-06-15

Just like the the title says once you load this CD in and listen to it you WILL be in a state on hypnotica. I mean the tracks are heart pounding. Scion is a master at weaving the next track together, so much so that it almost sounds like the same song. Anyhow, I HIGHLY recommend this CD. It is a MUST HAVE for all minimal techno/trance/psychedelic music lovers. Oh and be careful driving while listening to this CD, because you might get lost in a trance. Get it Buy it do whatever you have to do. YOU NEED THIS CD I can't stress that enough.

i hate the 4/4 thump.......2005-03-29

Yes - i hate the 4/4 thump that you can hear in the majority of tracks here. Also the bpm is too fast for me - it is just a question of taste. I am a slow person. I prefer music with a more relaxado andamiento. This is why i like the songs of Depeche Mode in their album Ultra.

Thanks.

Basic? Yes. Simple to do? NO!.......2003-01-17

I'm writing this as a music lover AND musician, and my first reaction to this CD was "ok, they have a drum loop run with a few sound effects for 6 minutes and call it a song." Boy was I wrong! The movements, progressions, and, if you will, melodies are on a hypnotic level that is easily missed at first, heck even third listen. Basic Channel has mastered the art of tapping into your psyche and giving your brain a ride through the dulling effect of a techno club downtown.

Speaking of "techno" clubs, since the word techno itself is very vague, I believe Basic Channel actually sounds more like you are OUTSIDE of a club, hearing the muted electronic kick pulse through the wall, but the echoing, wabbling synth tones seep through the ventilation cracks enough to entice your interest. Most cuts fade in and out, and I believe this is a collection of some abbreviated works that originally existed only on vinyl, so in some ways, you almost feel cheated that you don't have the whole thing... sounds crazy considering you just may have listened to an 8 minute track that a casual listener would say "sounds repetative."

Minimal.......2002-09-05

The ultimate in barely-there techno. Very minimal but very very very deep too. At first listen its repetitive and lengthy, but thats the beauty of it, such subtle changes in the songs, that you barely notice them before the tracks are over. You can get lost in this cd over and over again.

Truly is art

Correction!.......2002-08-28

This is NOT Pole as some user wrote in a review here.
Basic Channel was established by the berlin duo Mark Ernestus and Moritz Von Oswald (aka Maurizio)
This is an excellent cd of true minimal and detroit techno similar to the sound of many Chain Reaction releases.
Highly recommended if you like any sort of minimal and experimental techno/dub.

Declick Pole and stuff it down your Rolling Stone box set........2001-11-17

The early work of what's-his-name from Pole. I'm guessing if you've stumbled on this cd at Amazon you already know that Pole have released 4 albums, three on Matador, and one on their own label, Scape records, called R, and it's probably his best.

This album shares a lot of the gentle rustling electronic "clicks" that have made Pole famous. Basic Channel delivers on the glitch front as well, but there are tracks that are clean of the cuts, and focus on a kind of subtle, hushed house music. Kind of like some of the Gas albums, or that Burger/Ink record (also on Matador).

This feller has got a jones for dub music, and there's a sound on this album that reminds me of an old Scientist record I heard that had been so worn out from over-listening that it was all dulled and muffled and super warm sounding. That's kind of the Basic Channel vibe.

Fans of the deliclick of Pole, fans of the whump whump of a ceiling fan, and fans of great Gas music will enjoy this cd.

If you are looking for something to round out your collection of stale, useless, painful, and feckless Rolling Stones records, look no further. This cd will suit your charmless taste, and finally give you a reason to have friends over without suffering great embarrassment.

Primordia Manufacturer: Intr_Version ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD ASIN: B000AV2T2G

Product Description

Deadbeat's full length 2001 debut album on the Intr_Version label. Origin: Montreal, Canada. Full name: Scott Monteith. Mission: WORLD DOMINATION! Released prior to hitting the big time with ~Scape. "Deadbeat, aka Scott Monteith, is one of the key musicians in Montreal's fertile, burgeoning electronic music scene. Primordia, Deadbeat's full-length debut is more than a mere collection of songs -- it is a self-contained world where crackling, popping digital artifacts are the basis of the acoustic environment. It is a rich and organic work that lives up to its name. Monteith's debt to the Chain Reaction/Mille Plateaux school of minimal techno is clear, but his work isn't an emulation, it's a continuation, an extrapolation. On par with works by Vladislav Delay, Gas and Thomas Brinkmann, Primordia is a compelling, beautiful and haunting work."
