I've been loving this and the FSOL series. However. Now you are really making me happy. I bought most of these CDs as they were being released. I agree with your reviews on most of it. Looking forward to your future projects. ❤️🎶
"The rise and the fall of the chill out room....and comeback!" - which you are helping excellently in bringing back! bring back the chill out rooms! You are hitting my favorite label here with this video. Thank you for the shout out on my label @ 5:00
@@absentwithconcept uh oh. That should be interested. I wonder if its under TIM or errorsinspace. I used TIM from 2001-2016 , errorsinspace 2016 to now. i called myself errorsinspace on this new account is because my TIM account got banned but I used to be an editor and moderator in 2001-2004. So my work, edits are all tied up to the old Discogs version. So if they erase me completely, it may undue many things I worked on. But my reviews are still there. Hence then name errorsinspace. ;) btw, I may interview Amir Baghiri in the future. He has been a good friend for about 20 years.
I am glad to see you acknowledged New Yorks and American's deep voyage into this sounding territory. One of the reasons I started my label was because I felt like it and other labels and areas of the world were not getting as much respect as the music was from UK. You mentioned this in your opinion and I appreciate your opinion. nice job editing. I wish I was patient enough to do editing on my channel. I am hoping to find someone to help me with doing my channel. Great work on the video again. Great job describing the music and reviewing the series. I wish I was as good as you.
@@ElectricCafe-45 yeah, one of the big things I got from making this series was really being able to see all the differences between places and labels - the Instinct sound is so different to what was happening in the UK and even on the east coast of the US. I feel like the big names - FSOL, GC, The Orb, Biosphere - get all the credit and that almost undermines the huge diversity and creativity that was going on at the time. I really appreciate the way you’ve focused on some names who’ve gone overlooked in your reissues - especially going forward into the 21st century, I’ve always loved that Offthesky album you put out. My video style has developed over time, I wanted there to be more than just my face but had no idea how to do that. Eventually the image piling just came along and I’ve stuck to it. It’s bloody stressful though, I’m beginning to wonder whether just my face might be easier in the future haha
@@absentwithconcept Nice. Ya, the sound of New York was interesting because I consider Instinct Ambient (in America) as the first producers who were also techno/rave DJ's and artists to then be doing music in their bedrooms. Almost like a post-rave bedroom DIY scene. Seeing as how the Storm Raves brought Rave to USA from New York and originally from UK, these brought an ambient sound to the scene. Like, I really love Mille Plateaux for example. And lots of German labels. Glitch, ambient avante garde and minimal techno. Raster Noton, Staubold, Force Inc, Mille, Kompakt etc in 1994-2000. It seemed that alot of this Instinct ambient was in line with that in some ways. Many of these producers (Taylor, Dietrich, savvas, Abe Duque) did minimal techno in 1995-2000 also. So they all seem to be related but not really. I am a big fan of learning how genres inspire each other pre-internet or pre-1997 at least. That way its interesting to see who really started their own sound. I find it all interesting. History is y fav subject. Ya, one thing why I was reluctant in doing a youtube channel for so long is I didnt want to be on camera. If I could do a radio station, I would have done one years ago. Hopefully I can find someone I can work with who can edit my videos and take some work off my shoulders. I dont have the patience to do all that. Not enough time. I'm 48 ha
@ yeah, there’s such a link between the New York stuff and the German minimal scene, made more obvious by the turn of the century stuff where there was a huge crossover between 12k and all those labels you mentioned. I really think being separate from the UK scene helped with that, over here we seemed to really struggle with the decline of the ambient era, a lot of people just went back to fairly basic, commercial sounding stuff - a lot of big beat and ‘downtempo’ was very, very bland - whereas the New York scene seemed to really embrace emerging styles. The editing takes longer than I like - I’d love to be able to make more videos but there’s just not enough time, a couple of these a week is all I’m capable of!
'Caravan of Emotions' on the X-mix was my favorite. Sven Vath was always funny to me. His music with Miss Kitten is hilarious. As his 2006 Time Warp sound bytes. And his old videos with Hawtin lol
