some thoughts on Delay....

"Ele" on sigma, the orignal live mix at rainy day (what ever the hell that 
is) is one of the highlights in my cd collection. The sounds on the Sigma 
disc have a warmth not present in his more recent work. Someplace there is a 
interview where Delay states that he did'nt have a single sampler, that he 
sold all his drums for thrift soft electronics, the sigma release sounds as 
though it was made from such devices.  Some kinda of charm exists in that 
first release, not heard very often, but totally emulated by so many people 
these days (without much success, other than sounding like the surface of 
ele).

Ele is such a outstanding recording. No one in the dub electronica vein has 
managed to surpase the depth and  diversity of that recording yet. Sigma 
would be wise to re-release "Ele" the version on MP lost something compared 
to thelive mix(but maybe I need to go back and listen to it again.) Ele is 
trully an inventive album, sublime in nature, a true journey through distant 
landscapes, in which one cannot always anticapte whats coming next, 
brilliant for the time it was released.

No one ever seems to mention his work as Sistol, great stuff, also he 
released a wonderful 12" on T. brinkmanns label Max Ernst, there is a really 
nice porn sample buried deep within one of those tracks.

And then there's mutila.... and what ever happened to chain reaction???
