Finally got my hands on this Tresor CD / DVD release yesterday:
http://www.discogs.com/release/874558
Got to say, if I'm honest, I've not really paid much attention to the Burden brothers work before, but I absolutely love this album. :)
Was great to watch the DVD last night and see how much energy they put into their performance live, and check out their sounds.
There's a real old skool feel to all their tracks it would seem, and the tracks are really simple, but keep you locked in on a nice groove.
Pick of the tracks has to be Headrush, Rock My Dub and Wiretaps for me. Just listening to the CD again here at work now.
Can anyone recommend any more of their work to check out, maybe on 430 West or Tresor?

Cheers for the recommendation, I'll see if I can pick that up somewhere.
The only other Burden brothers CD I've got is this, mixed by Lawrence :

I really like it, the mixing isn't perfect but the track selection and progression are really good.
The versions of Blackwater played back to back work really well, but if I can remember correctly, the blend is a bit shady.

Going to have a sit down and listen to the whole thing, so I'll let you know.

Off The Grid is such a banging album, absolutely love it. Saw them at the wharehouse project and didnt know what to think, but then saw them in a nice cosy little club in Turin, and damn, what a set, they are soooo good live. Those guys have got the skills, the funk, the bang, the showmanship, and whatever else as well.

Octave One are simply amazing, seen them many, many times at various places and had the pleasure of a few drinks with them one night after a gig, top blokes with a true passion for what they do
good to see you getting into some more deeper stuff too Si in a non-patronising way

Always been into the deeper stuff mate. I love all forms of techno, but have always been most vocal about acid techno on here. :) Originally Posted by eyeswithoutaface

Well I hate to say it, but I pretty much have. Everything that I love(d) about acid techno, the UK produced tracks especially, has gone. Originally Posted by eyeswithoutaface

That Deetron CD's pretty damn good. Easy listening, relaxed techno.

Yep, agree with Si there. Originally Posted by Si the Sigh

There's only one up tempo track, # 10.
It's worth getting if you've got some spare cash.
Probably a 7/10 for me.
