│ Pandora brings you a sophisticated release: │
│ Dave Miller - Mitchells Raccolta *PROPER* │
│ (c) Background Records (BG045) │
│───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│
│ │ │
│ Product Rating: [▓▓▓▓░] (4 of 5) │ Encoder: Audioactive (FHG) │
│ Our Release Date: 05-22-2004 │ Genre: Electronic (Minimal) │
│ Release Type: CD Album │ Quality: 192kbps/44.1khz/Stereo │
│ │ │

│ RELEASE NOTE: │
│ -===========- │
│ │
│ We were excited to have the BEX release of this long awaited CD in our │
│ hands. Unfortunately, the rip wasn't as clean as expected. Playback │
│ of the mp3 hung three times in a row after we found out that BEX fucked │
│ the VBR mp3 stream during encode. Furthermore, we see no reason not to │
│ split this release. It is so "slighty mixed" that it can be splitted │
│ without any problem, check and compare it yourself. Last but not least, │
│ their cue points were incorrect and even contained additional silences. │
│ We consider this album so important, that we will NOT release this │
│ INTERNALLY today. Anyone who is into minimal music has the right to │
│ listen to a proper rip of this kick-ass release that truely features │
│ music you have never heard of before. Thumbs up BG, this one rocks! │
│ And by the way, we decided to do a clean CBR rip of this one, so that │
│ even the shittiest mp3 DJ console out there will play this perfectly. │
│ Although we respect BEX for a nice choice, their release was heartless │
│ and good for nothing else than burning this album onto a CD. Anyway, │
│ we hope this will be released on vinyl soon. Andy, go ahead! │
│ │

│ RELEASE INFO: │
│ -===========- │
│ │
│ Over two years since releasing his first fantastic EP's on │
│ Background Records and remixing Anna Kaufen (aka Akufen) to │
│ much critical acclaim, Dave Miller's long awaited debut album │
│ is finally being released! │
│ │
│ Coming from the most isolated city in the world, Perth, Australia, │
│ the album is a massive step forward musically - a combination of │
│ all his influences to create a fresh, deep and truly personal │
│ album. │
│ │
│ Trademark pitch-shifted melodies buzz over complex minimal │
│ polyrhythms, chopped up trumpet scatters over a slo-mo house beat, │
│ and low, low basslines hum in the bassbins over a crackly piano │
│ sample - it is a diverse album full of warmth fit for the lounge │
│ and rhythms to suit a dark, smoky club. │
│ │
│ The tracks beautiful, mutant funk that you feel with your head, │
│ heart and feet. It is jazz, dub, house, minimalism, hip-hop, │
│ broken beat, and ambient music all at the same time, but one │
│ generic genre, it isn't. │
│ │
│ Like Four Tet, Farben and Madlib remixing each other, he is │
│ genre-hopping to create a new genre. 6 years after the 'minimal │
│ house' emerged from the clicks'n'cuts phenomenon, has Dave created │
│ the first 'minimal broken beat' record? │

│ GROUP NEWS: │
│ -=========- │
│ │
│ We would like to excrement that we fully support the thoughts of │
│ a scene going back underground. Thereby, Pandora does only pre on │
│ internal sites at this time and we expect couriers not to trade our │
│ releases to any scene sites unless we put them there ourselves. │
│ │
│ With the exception of only a few releases that are intended to improve │
│ the security of the scener in general (e.g. our FlashFXP series that │
│ includes so much work to make the releases secure and useful) we will │
│ only want close and trusted scene friends to get hands on our releases. │
│ │
│ Today, every fucking kiddo can grab 0day releases from the web, we │
│ don't even need to name any of the countless sites there exist. │
│ Furthermore, we found out that the majority of scene releases are to │
│ be found on Bittorrent and DC++ such as many more filesharing networks. │
│ │
│ This is a hilarious situation that leads us all into big danger since │
│ we will be guilty for the huge amount of worldwide software piracy. │
│ Back in time, only a handful of people had access to scene releases │
│ and normal people needed lots of contacts and work to get ahold of │
│ scene releases in a reasonable amount of time. We still share the │
│ thoughts that scene releases are only meant for the people who deserve │
│ them. Why in hell do people put releases on the web, pubs, filesharing │
│ networks or even allow FXP lamers to grab releases from their sites? │
│ Do people really have such a tiny ego so that they need to boost it │
│ this lame way, so that they can advance to be a king of lamers? │
│ │
│ We hereby request all hard-working sceners to abandon sites that have │
│ lots of useless traders and unknown names in their userlist. You can │
│ easily find out the number of users by issueing the following command │
│ on your sites: "site aldn 1000". If you happen to find out that your │
│ site holds more than 100 users you should start to insist that the │
│ siteop cleans their userbase. If they refuse, drop the fucking site! │
│ │
│ We have been working hard with respected people from other groups to │
│ find solutions that truely disencourages spreading of scene releases to │
│ outsiders - and we guys are close to finishing technologies that will │
│ help make this an end. Should you be interested into more details │
│ then we invite you to try to find out how to establish contact with │
│ our tiny internal group so that we can share our thoughts. We are │
│ still looking for UNIX coders to help the implementation of our ideas. │
│ │
│ Pandora is an internal group that consists of a bunch of people from │
│ groups who you know, so don't hesitate find your way to somebody who │
│ knows how to reach us on the net. We get back to you if we trust you. │
│ │
│ PDX and DVT have recently started crypting their releases. While we │
│ are happy about their goal, we don't think that this is the ultimate │
│ idea to reach it. If you share the same opinion and have better ideas │
│ get in touch aswell. You might have a new idea we did not yet discuss. │
│ │
│ Whatever you do out there... Please search for ways to make sure that │
│ outsiders do not get their hands on stuff. Help to make the scene │
│ go back underground - so that we will happily start pre'ing on YOUR │
│ site and can have fun altogether without being frightened of getting │
│ busted all day. If we were back underground, they just wouldn't care! │
│ │
│ Thanks for your time reading... │
│ Yours unknown friends from an unknown place. │
│ │
│ │
│ PS. From more than 100 releases that we did within the last months, │
│ only a very few (and a couple of fakes) hit the dupers and public. │
│ This is what we mean by going INTERNAL. We don't care for stats! │
│ Haven't heard of us yet? Wonderful, that's just perfect. See you. │
