I dunno- not such a good introduction, considering all the
other stuff.

Cylob Music System, vols 1 and 2.
Lobster Tracks
Spider Report
Web Tracks is good, too.

Then fast forward a bit in time to Formant Potaton.

Finish with such ambient goodness as Kinesthesia and finally
Bounds Green (which really makes a good soundtrack to the
underground- set the title track to repeat).

But first stop is prolly Lobster Tracks, like belb said.

Yes- I thought that afterwards.

Don't look at me like that, I did! =)

dont forget to REWIND

Ah mate- why even go there?

Rewind is not a good place to start, continue with or
finish.

Not cool- the Cylob obligatory 'Pop song'.

Though all of that is just subjective. If others like I
guess that's fine at the end of the day. =)

I'd like to meet someone who didn't discover cylob by
hearing the track rewind.

now your just being a tard for no good reason.

What? It's not "the obligatory pop song", it's the
culmination of Cylobness and pop savvy, it's a rad tune,
it's Cylob at his playful peak. That and "Drop the
Midrange..." , though that Living in the 80s one lost me.

i posted the live osaka 1998 version of rewind. cut the
midrange and rewind must have been spun a milllion times at
parties spanning the globe.

well.. the order is not *that* important when it comes to
good shiz..

that track is not bad thx for linking Fah

i'm likely to check ambient stuff atmo for ambient need
purposes, bounds green is greta at a first approach.. then i
d/l'ed the free album he did but didn't listened to it yet,
can't wait to see the drinkmat's sunset

thanks again

i first heard cut the midrange, rewind was second...

Nope.

I am not saying this makes me any better, but Kinesthesia
was the first Cylob shiz I heard, then everything else other
than Midrange and Rewind. A small time passed. Then I found
the last two aforementioned tracks. And was not pleased.
Just sounds like he is deliberately trying to make a record
that will sell as much as possible. Nothing wrong with that-
good luck to him. But I don't enjoy the tracks.

This is not to say that i don't enjoy other recent stuff by
Cylob- Bounds Green is undoubtedly one of my top ten albums.


Midrange and Rewind just don't have any substance- they're
shallow tracks. I am really sorry if this gets anyone's
backs up, this was not my intention. It's just my subjective
ooutlook, which means nothing to anyone but me.

that wasn't me...

you should attempt his Synclair Remix, it's beautyful. I
bought the LP just for that one track, the other remixes
blow balls.

cylob is really good music maker. i don't think it uncommon
for people to discover him with trax other than the rewind,
drop the bass, or even that drunken sailor and with this
ring. its just that i always here those trax on dj sets, and
i guess more of the public hears him first with those pretty
cheesy but cool trax. the trax sound awesome but i'm not
trying to pretend they are more than novelties. his other
work is much better.

kinesthesia 1&2 are a must. or just get that complilation he
did that would be a great startpoint.
