Yeah, I know, another DIY electro/synth compilation.
So what makes "HaLO: The Best of Madtown Electro & Synth" so damn
special?
Well, it's got 13 tracks from some bands on good labels, all out of
Madison, WI (which is kinda neat, because surprisingly there's a lot
of talent here right now, hence the disc). It also has a whole bunch
of bands that you've never heard of that, hopefully, will get signed
one day and kick ass on some tiny label that'll barely pay them and
eventually go under. Ah, to dream the dream of fame in this scene.
12 of the 13 tracks are unreleased, with new stuff from projects and
bands like STROMKERN, ONEIROID PSYCHOSIS, NULL DEVICE, STOCHASTIC
THEORY, ECHO VIRUS and THE GOTHSICLES. No extra special remixes of
stuff you've heard, either, these are brand spanking new tracks that
you've never heard before and are hooky as hell.
The styles are all over the place, too. From electro to synth to old
skool industrial and pretty much everything in between. If you don't
like one track another one or six others may appeal to you. It's
funny, too. And angry. And depressed. Bi-polar people will most
likely really dig it.
It's also cheap ($10 + postage off our website), so if for some reason
you don't like it you won't feel ripped off like if you bought some
import compilation for 30 bucks and found out it's a bucket of ass.
HaLO sounds good, too, as it was mastered quite nicely by Alex Matheu
from Negative Format. We sunk some money into this and really believe
in it, so we made sure it'll sound good in your stereo and on the club
floors, or where ever you're inclined to play it.
And it will cure poverty. And if you listen to it you'll shit
rainbows. You won't get laid more often, but listening to it while
masturbating makes butterflies come out of your genitals. At least
mine.
Am I sharing too much?
Here's the tracklist-
1. Stochastic Theory - Shared Lies
2. Ensku - All is Fair
3. Brian Schuh - The One Who Dismissed Me Again
4. m00ntz! - I Don't Want Her (And Neither Do You)
5. Echo Virus - Stranded (8 Hours)
6. Signal 12 - Anesthetized*
7. Null Device - Electrified
8. The Gothsicles - English License
9. ctrlshft - Half-Life
10. Oneiroid Psychosis - First the Head, Then the Body
11. Caustic- Incendiary
12. Stromkern- Ruin
13. The Dark Clan- LeStat in Cuba
*previously released
You can hear the S Theory track on electrogarden and go to
echovirus.com for an unmastered stream of that track.
HaLO is available on deadbeatproductions.com, and should be nationally
distributed through Metropolis, DSBP and A Different Drum. Hopefully
Iso-Tank and Unspun, too, but they're a pain to get ahold of.
If you're a DJ and would like a promo copy or to organize a release
party, please send an email to info@ deadbeatproductions.com for more
info.
Buy a copy today, people. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks so much.
