Re: Fabric 18

Sorry can?t agree.
Haven?t heard one Fabric Cd who I can recommend.
Maybe James Lavelles and Craig Richards.

Re: Fabric 18

I got it as a review promo a few weeks back. I really enjoyed it. I was expecting just downtempo and trip hop stuff, but it actually goes all over the place, with house, some breaks, electro, and even a rock track.

Most of the tracks are by those three. Here's an actual review I wrote, to be published soon in Exclaim!

Baby Mammoth, Beige & Solid Doctor
Fabric 18

Representing Kingston-upon-Hull, these three artists, known for their work in various lineups under these names and others, including Fila Brazilia, weave a variety of funky tunes, starting off with a cool downtempo vibe, before moving through house, electro, break beats and even a bit of rock. They place a lot of emphasis on funky, looped basslines, coupled with melodies from various wind instruments, including trumpets, saxophones and clarinets. Most of the tracks are by the three, in various incarnations, and many are unreleased, giving it almost an artist album feel, if they weren?t so able at switching genres. But it?s a mix, first and foremost, and I?d dance to it. Top tracks include Baby Mammoth?s smooth and silky opener ?Elephunk?, the cool clarinet-assisted break beats of Momma Gravy?s ?Sizzling Finch?, and the absolutely hilarious ?Stick It In T?Middle?, with a helium-voiced man repeating the title (you can figure it out) over some quirky beats.

Yarr, I usually enjoy the fabriclive series more, but i must say this one was a pleasant surprise...

The upcoming ones look pretty sweet too!

Re: Fabric 18

incredible disc imo, one of the very best fabric releases this year.

Re: Fabric 18

i cant say i enjoyed it. it started off well but then went pear shaped with the adam freeland esqe rock n roll breaks n cheesey breaks.

[peloquin]

just subscribed for the fabric series, cant miss out on weatherall's... heard that despite being in the NW US, its still cheaper to subscribe than get it off amazon

[nbpgt]

^not sure about that one, possibly

or maybe it wasnt part of the series but supposed to be a live @ fabric mix, similar to the one she released last year

[peloquin]

dunno man, all i see on the fabric site is thru fabriclive 19, but dj heather does have a dj page on the site, so maybe a sign of something to come

my vote for fabric 20 is a special 2 disc mix by ricardo villalobos
