boyed by the beauty of the schnaus releases I've been
inclined to give CCO a go - buying the odd new ones here and
there - but they seem to be turning a lot of very similar
and pretty mediocre minimal - emotional - stuff at the
moment

discuss (or you'd like to move the thread onto the subject
of my enormous manhood this will also suffice)

minimal Clicks & Cuts sound.....

i find the schnauss stuff pleasant but unchallenging. a bit
like lounge music, y'know? extremely well produced but
without ever taking any risks. middle-of-the-road
electronica... or MORIDM!

the arovane releases are classics tho. i've only heard one
static song but it's pretty great.

what's most worth getting in your opinion? i love the
melodic stuff but i like more interesting, fucked-up rhythms
than schnauss. metamatics is the perfect balance IMO.

yeah man...the fact that they are a part of the !k7 familly
is really smtn.
alongside with warp and neo ouja,cco brings out one of the
best releases imo.

slightly unrelated, but...

did any of you get the neo ouija cottage industries comp.? i
never got round to getting myself a copy - worth getting?

no - is it worth a looksee?

on the other stuff - yes the whole formless cuts and clicks
thing is getting veyr old - fair play if you're as good at
it as dntel or someone then its a pleasurable experience -
it just seems to me that a lot of the new CCO stuff is
pretty aimless and contrite - "you'll love our defeatest
attitude" is the latest case in point - I mean its ok, but
its just kind of ok - I just think its been done to death
personally

City centre offices is one of my favorite labels.

Arovane - Tides is a classic. a must-have in my opinion.
Both ulrich schnauss albums are one of the best in my whole
cd collection.

A week ago i bought Firewire - a tribute to the manzani,
which is an interesting unusual CCO release, yet very nice.

The new remote viewer EP disappointed me.
The new Xela album was very nice. A little repetitive,
maybe. I've never liked the voice in the Static albums...
and what else....?

i really like the remote viewer "here i go again.."

all Dictaphone stuff (their last 12" is really cool, some
dark jazz stuff not unlike bohren und der club of gore
sometimes)

i like to clean with 'far away trains passing by' playing in
the background. that's about it really. nothing too amazing,
just a pleasant listen.

Ulrich's "A Strangely Isolated Place" is by far one
of my top-10 releases of 2003. A totally essential
album that has continued to grab my attention play
after play.

Arovane has always done a great job on CCO,
and his new album, "Lilies" doesn't really break
any new ground.. instead it continues where
"Tides" left-off.

I wish that Fizzarum would have done more
with CCO, their Domino album was (and still
is) a great listening experience.

CCO is a great label. Although I havent bought much of
there new stuff from this year, the 7" series has some great
moments. I thought the arovane, christian kleine,
solvent/lowfish, zorn and bitstream 7" were the best.
Christian Kleines 12"s arn't bad either on that label along
with the dictaphone records. Cashier Escape Route is also a
great comp. Love the skanfrom song!
