Weirdly just got this in my email from Bleep…

Nuron & Fugue - Likemind 06 (Likemind Records)

Vinyl 2xLP
One black one white sleeve
Shrink-wrapped together

Release Date 26th March 2021

Nurmad Jusat has long been one of the unsung heroes of electronic music and mid 90’s techno with a remarkable influence on the scene from his limited discography. Under the monikers Nuron and Fugue, Jusat’s output — which in a space somewhere between Sheffield bleep and elegant ambient techno — has been crying out for a re-issue since the heady days of the early 1990s. Fortunately this Likemind Records re-issue contains 8 of his finest works remastered at long last.

Despite the fact that tunes like ‘Madam 6’ and ‘In Motion’ stand at about a year apart on the Nuron production schedule, they fit together as neatly as two jigsaw pieces. Sweet acid modulations bleed into one another, and phased snares provide a gentle segue around the 120bpm mark. There’s no telling why Jusat decided to craft two of these eight classic cuts under his Fugue alias, but ‘Contrapoint’ and ‘Interlagos’ are testimony to his strong sense for off-kilter rhythms as explored in Carl Craig’s Psyche/BFC productions or B12’s output on Warp the continual thread found throughout his catalogue.

This collection is a sublime document of the genres formative years that still sounds as good nearly three decades later - essential material.

Just seen Special Request is doing the next DJ Kicks compilation. The preview track for the mix is one of his and sounds like a good fit. https://specialrequest187.bandcamp.com/track/vellichor-dj-kicks

Loads of quality recommends here. We’ve had Alter Ego. How about The Primitve Painter?

How do everyone. So glad to learn of this forum, I’m sure there’ll be many here who used to frequent DJ History.

Great thread, I’ll mark my first post with a fave of mine.

Probably my favourite reissue from last year. The pressing is lush.

This new Shawn Rudiman LP should fit with this shit. It’s brilliant.

Wow :heart_eyes:

Came across this in a job lot I bought last week, it’s a new one to me. Fifteen minutes of prime Accelerator era FSOL trippiness with the chord loop from Tangerine Dream’s - Love on a Real Train underpinning the whole thing.
