Well...

Finished my set @ Impulz and went straight to see him play..

I have to say I was well impressed. It was like 'up, down, up, down', I really didnt know whether I was coming or going. Whereas I'll always try to build a set, he was building, mutating about 500 times. Was really blown away. Can't believe when he dropped Meng Syndicate 'Somebody Give The Lord A Handclap'. Well I think that's the name ahhh my memory is awful hehehe. Really this was the highlight of my night. Spoke to him after when we were all trying to get back to the hotel and asked him why I hadn't heard alot from him recently. Apparently he's got some crazy projects on the go.

Can't bloody wait. A true techno and musical LEGEND.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

funny you should mention that. . . look whats just out today.!

http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/...ghlight=slater

sounds interesting. . . freek funk is still one of the best albums out there and this seems to be returning in that direction.
everything this fella touches is gold, may not always be to everyones taste but its still quality, great to see someone take chances and do somthing completely different like he did/ always has done.

This is a re-release. I don't have it though, will check it out.

"Wireless" was another of his recent-ish albums that was great.

Saw him play first in Dublin when "Freek Funk" had just been released, and that "Forklift" remix was out etc. He was brilliant that night :clap:

By the way - "Filter 2" from Freek Funk LP =

Played with him a few years ago when his last album was out. Was mad when I finished, seeing all the faces in the crowd look on dismayed, when they saw a singer emerging onto stage to open the show, and straight into 80's electro pop, it was not the plan :) Didn't really enjoy his set too much that night, the best part was probably the sound check.. he was getting some very evil noises out of his keyboards

From what I hear his live set at Creamfields Ireland in 2001 was the highlight of the whole thing. Planetary Assault Systems all the way from 6-7 p.m. apparantly. So sorry I wasn't there :cry:

He's a Musician
Planetary Assault Systems Vs Loudboxer is Something I'd kill to see

totally, dude...

**eyes without a face** · 27-06-2005, 12:53 PM

ive seen him totally nail it, and ive seen him lose it on a few occasions too.... production always been pretty top notch except for that electro album he did... would love it if he really found his form again ala Planetary Assault Systems

**Francisco Scaramanga** · 27-06-2005, 01:29 PM

His live PA at Atomic Jam around the time Wireless was released remains one of the musical highlights of my life, it was an absolute belter of a set, and I'll not forget it anytime soon. I just wish there was a recording of it, or even better, video, cause he was putting on a hell of a show, surrounded in kit, he was singing all the vocal bits live (with LOTS of vocoding/effects), and generally rockin the place.

And yeah, Freek Funk and Wireless, both of them are amazing albums, PAS rocks hard, all his remixes are shit hot (forklift, badboy amongst others), and I've enjoyed his Fear and Loathing CD's, so basically, massive respect to Luke Slater!

**slavestudios** · 27-06-2005, 02:50 PM

Planetary Assault Systems work rox.

not a fan of his 80's influenced work, but PAS wax has done some damage in the past..

**MARKEG** · 28-06-2005, 12:29 AM

i remember seeing his pa at the orbit years ago. i really wasnt paying as much attention to it as i should have done at the time (i was a bit aheemmm side tracked by things hehehe) but it was really great near the end and his xtront stuff is some of my fave music. that peacefrog album was unreal. can't wait to see what he has new under his belt..

Jealous as hell about that!

**slavestudios** · 28-06-2005, 09:44 AM

have many many PAS 12s & a few albums & they never dissapoint.

his Forklift remix is maybe my fave techno track... ever.

not forgettin 'In From The Night' & 'In From The Day' another 2 classic techno tracks..

also, theres a PAS remix on an old Cosmic 12 thats STILLcutting throats in the right mix

so dissapointed with his singy shenannigans ( :lol: ) but at least he's doing summatt different.

ALL HAIL THE DELICIOUS TALENTS OF HULAL

**gavinj3** · 28-06-2005, 12:14 PM

his new release "play the cut" on the novamute 2005 cd is pretty good. its like a commercial 2005 update of forklift with lyrics, can see it working well though.
was at his set at creamfields 2001, was raw as f.ck. it was more his wireless stuff that PAS but it rocked. pretty disorientated after it especially because hawtin had already played that day from 3-4 . . . phew

**Ginjin** · 30-06-2005, 04:19 AM

Luke Slater is quality :clap:

I have always tried to emulate the way he plays his sets......cant even get close :lol:

**slimboy** · 30-06-2005, 01:13 PM

Plantery Assault Systems "The Battle"

**dairel** · 30-06-2005, 01:41 PM

Saw him on the wireless tour when he played a Mute night in VicarSt(Dublin) andit was amazing.

Saw hime at Glastonbury on Alright on Top tour, he was on at 6 on the Jazz world stage. there was **** all people there, i really like that album and the live show he did.

**pumpinglemma** · 30-06-2005, 01:52 PM

I think hes up there with afx and speedy j in terms of electronic musical genius.
The old PAS stuff is amazing. I never get bored of them. Not too mention the peacefrog stuff he did under his own name, "inductive channels" anyone ;)
Or the clemintine releases on Djax-up beats. .
And that album on gpr. F**kin hell.
He can do any style, mood with ease. deep, mellow, hard whatever..
Although I did buy a recent nova release by him and thought it was pretty rubbish. No harm, hes more than paid his dues!

**philipryan** · 30-06-2005, 02:24 PM

Yeh always liked his stuff under any guise... hard, deep, ambient, etc - he can do it all.

I just picked up that '4 Cornered Room' album... amazing stuff. I think there's another 7th Plain album on gpr, can't remember what it's called though.

**pumpinglemma** · 30-06-2005, 09:16 PM

Its called "My Yellow Wise Rug". My flatmate has the album. Think he paid a good bit for it . All the gpr stuff is ultra-rare..

Both 7th Plain albums have been rereleased (CD only) so shouldn't be too difficult to pick up
