here goes an another release of G-MAN's (Gez Varley, former half of LFO
etc) Beautiful - we've heard this before thanks to TR's vinyl rip but this
comes from a shiny seedee and contains a couple of extra tracks. besides,
this record is so fuckin' cool, i'd release it every week, so noone skips
the gem! its ocean deep yet full of energy, absolutely kicking and even
euphoric, kind of techno what carries me thru the life also known as
"struggle for survival" or "resisting the system":D
respect, G-MAN - it can't get any better than this, and this is essentially
beautiful indeed!
below u can read in-depth intelligent review i snatched somewhere in the
cyberspace..

"Gez Varley Presents Tony Montana," the previous LP by this former LFO
member, was a bit cold and distant. Its inventive packaging and cinematic
conceits only partially compensated for the producer's studied minimalism
and lack of spontaneity. Resurrecting his G-Man alias, however, Mr. Varley
returns to form with "Beautiful," an album full of the liquid-metal
grooves, odd timbres and gurgling melodies that made much of his 1996
"Kushti" full-length so delightful. "Deep techno" has become as much of a
catchphrase as "deep house," but the depth on display here is more rhythmic
and accessible than much of the (sub)genre. Limber arrangements of
recognizable drum sounds anchor lean tracks that crackle with the energy of
the dancefloor but avoid over-adornment like a Spartan marching into
battle. Like any other lofty concept, minimalism can inspire excess; less
sometimes really is less. But by fusing the 3D contours and precise
textures of techno's current vanguard with the propulsive beats and quirky
touch of his back catalogue, Varley and his collaborator, Marco Carola,
return us to that mid-'90s moment when utility and innovation had reached
perfect balance in the purist arena.

PHT is somekind of scene group being around on different platforms
since 1995 and going to release something for MP3 scene once in a while
too as lots of our members are deep in the musik and having lots of
unreleased material/good contacts within the musik industry. we're gonna
concentrate on quality electronic muzik, whatever genre/style it might
be, new or old. by releasing ancient classics or rare national records
we'll widen your view and hopefully perception as well =)
