note: "LA's Alpha Pup label continues to dominate the leftfield beat world with a top class LP from Take. His style has become established alongside figures like Ras G, Onra or Nosaj Thing of late with a blend of electro-leaning synthlines and lop-sided beats nudged with that sun-drenched LA flavour. You know the sort of stuff that makes you dance like a spaceman in slow motion? 'Only Mountain' collects 13 variations on this theme, keeping the vibes pressure-crushed and smudgy for psychedelic effect, at times like 'Horizontal Figuration' or the remake of Bullion's 'Payroll' remix flicking the anti-gravity button for a gorgeously heady effect or on 'Quartz For Amber' dropping more terrestrial sub bumps and android dream-sequences to keep us anchored. This is really delicious album for fans of Illum Sphere, the whole Beat Dimensions lot and that plugged-in electro-soul dream arena. "

  3. I'd like to back hubba up on this.

    I would never have been to exposed to so many of these artists without this blog. And at least once every couple of weeks I pick up some vinyl from the record store of the stuff that I REALLY liked. I'd have never ended up supporting these artists without giving them a proper trial at 320 on my mixing software or whatever. For the artists that I just download and do not buy? It is probably for a reason. I won't support an artist that I am not that interested in, so the mp3s will probably be deleted / sit on my HD unplayed anyways.

  4. This Take album, however, I really like. =D

    'Paper Garden' is a good one.

  5. I only buy on vinyl what I hear from blogs like this one first. Sometimes I really buy it because I'm in love with it, other times I kinda like it but the ALBUM ART IS SICK, so I buy it.

    Blogs like this expose artist to a wider audience. Which means more people coming to your shows. I think that's the way it should be, real fans who really like your record enough to buy vinyl, who come out to support your shows from all over the planet.
