i love this album, don't you? full of selenitic (lunar) beauty. perfect to listen at night, with windows open, feeling wind through your room (just like i'm doing)... even Vi Scose Poise or Further by Autechre have difficulty beating the mighty KJZ, or Aleph 1 with its fire and ice puffs! : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do enjoy it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
KJZ is so utterly, utterly fantastic. Aleph 1 and 124 are two utterly fantastic dark tracks. Genius album. |
||||||||

|
great album indeed what other photek would you recomend? discography anywhere? |
||||||||
|
|

Form & Function is good too, but I find it a little less...moody. Solaris I really like, but almost everyone else hates it. Apart from a couple of tracks, there's no d'n'b on there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get form & function. i prefer it over modus operandi |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get Seven Samurai single...it's limited ( not to get now ) and vinyl is not to forgot - just Japanese ideogram's on gray background....and that's all !!!!man if you havent heard that one - you dont know the power of Rupert's music... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ni-Ten-Ichi-Ryu is quite good. I also really like Form & Function...Modus Operandi is class and the Hidden Camera EP is good. In fact almost everything he has done is good (shudders and Solaris) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its very good i prefer form and function though. yeh, solaris was pretty wack. i am not a fan of house music and this was not even good house music. those vocals are wicked awful. |
||||||||

One of my all-time favorites. I personally think that MO is a whole piece of perfection from beginning to the end – it just flows, there is not a weak spot here… no doubt it’s his best… a very thoroughly crafted and EXTREMELY addictive (isn’t it? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find form & function much more enjoyable. not saying Modus Operandi isn't concious ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That’s just the point ! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love stuff on Modus Operandi. I still feel though that it is the programming on Rings Of Saturn and Ni Ten Ichi Ryu that really puts him RIGHT UP THERE. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rings Of Saturn??? Its goldie who made that album isn it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats 'the return of saturn' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats "SaturnzReturn". And quite a Shite album. Yes, with a capital S. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And the Photek track is "Rings Of Saturn". Sorry. My bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah its my favourite of the good few photek cds I own. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want to like this more than I do. And not because I want to be down with what's deemed good. I find his music to be too cerebal. Its a bit too cold and mechanical. But I AM a pop fan after all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you seen clip of ni-ten-ichi-ryu ??? gof , it's great, those warriors . and that scene with completation on rock and clicing two candles with voice in background...... and did you know that ni-ten-ichi-ryu means "two swords technique" as it is said it title ?.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that video and track got me into him and set me on my way into 'dance' music. I had that on tape and I'd love to see it again. When I saw it I was like "WTF is THIS???". It blew me away. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have some VHS , when i was young i was recording every finest clips and events from all channels from TV , so it is little history now - for example - first clips and recordings of K7! studio....yeah , piece of history now , maybe i will give those tapes to my child with words like "here you go , my son - hear and learn" ..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I used to watch all music shows on UK TV and record the music videos and TV appearances. I had tapes and tapes. You must have copied my idea mofo! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The thing I *really* like about Modus Operandi is the fact that he's put tracks like 124 and Modus Operandi on there, instead of having the whole album drum'n'bass. Utterly brillian. The thing I *really* don't like about Modus Operandi is The Fifth Column. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
long time no hear. what a great thing to play it after months. and play it from 2 sources simultaneously so you can beat-match at various combinations and go "wow" when it works. classic album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. . rupert used to be a thing of great promise- I honestly can't think of an album that was as shatteringly disappointing to me as Solaris. . i remember being completely buzzed about a new photek album and practically running home to hear it. . . only to be confronted with some absolutely arse house music. i don't know what he's done recently, i never got over that moment=] perhaps it's not as bad as i remember. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed. modus operandi is one of those albums i do NOT want to lose. brilliant album, and wildly underrated, IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
such a great album. this was a probably my favourite photek release though on Op-Art, there was a lovely downtempo mix of this on the flip too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
doh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i recently approached Solaris after a very long time, and the only tracks i saved to my ipod lately were terminus, junk, glamourama, infinity and solaris. that's just 5/11 tracks of the album, which kind of shows an average Photek listener's opinion on it: a very uneven, weird and kind of....cluless release. i know MO2 was/is somewhat impossible, but i was one of those who expected much much more after that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also like that track third sequence on the wipeout soundtrack by photek. definitely one of photeks best tracks. modus operandi is brilliant. i spent hours listening to it at the airport 8 years ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fantastic, now listening |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have the terminus single and i quite like it. Do you know if he ever went back to hyper detailed stuff again after solaris? or did he disappear into movie soundtracks and big money after that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great album but 'The Hidden Camera' is better, probably his best work imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't the hidden camera single the one with Yendi on the b side? it's a top track. . . if my memory serves me right. i haven't ripped it for some reason. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was a 4 track ep must have listened to that cd a hundred times. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah yes. that was the 1st thing i heard. it's top. I was thinking of this release. |
||||||||
|
|

choon thanks for bumping obara, my ears say thanks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think this album is very overrated. I prefer the earlier 12's he did as studio pressure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
one thing i know from an interview is that, yeah, he got into soundtracks production. and i also found - but i haven't heard it yet. i might give it a try though, the review looks encouraging. @Cliff Glitchard : awesome track |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
half the tracks on "hidden camera" were on the album as well. then there's a good but not as good version of "hidden camera," and a borderline filler track, "hybrid." what makes the ep that much better than the album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was just listening there. . . some real shite on it=[ a slew of terrible vocal tracks and rock influences stuff and a handful of generic remixes. but check out 'One Nation' which is really good classic water margin era photek with sweet programming. . . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
legendary album smoke rings is my fav on that track together with trans 7. form & function is good as well, and im one of few enjoying solaris. newer releases together with teebee, fabio etc are enjoyable, but he's not among todays best dnb artist. TeeBees remix of Ni Ten Ichi Ryu is very very good. Dark and moody:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
the 4 tracks on the e.p. sit really well together, just personal preference I guess. |
