What is your fav Border Community release, and WHY?

tough decision right? I think I would go with Break in the Clouds, or the Ricardo Tobar album, both are insane.

I think for me personally it's Dextro - Do You Need Help because i love The MFA's Help Help Remix so much.

Nathan Fake - "The Sky Was Pink" (James Holden Mix)

The MFA - "The Difference It Makes"

That and A Break in the Clouds which I still hold as my favorite track overall but it's getting much harder as I branch out.

Ya know, when I bought that i only liked the original mix, but I played that MFA by accident one time and I wa slike gyot damn!

Without a doubt my favorite release from BC, and in the running for my favorite tune of all time, is the MFA - "The Difference it Makes" (Original Mix). I've never tired of it, I love the use of the vocal sample, the bassline is immense - I just love everything about it (save for the fact that even years later I struggle to mix it well). The only remix I like of it, however, is not on BC, but on Kompakt Pop (Superpitcher Mix).

A close second would be that MFA remix of Dextro - which is actually going to be part of a promotional set I recently completed for Frisky.

i'm not really a fan of most border community releases but my favorite of the all is
fairmont - gazebo

absolutely brilliant IMO. i know many people really dislike it though for some reason.

Border Community had several great tracks, but answering this question is easy: Petter - Six Songs EP.

Posted by Clovis on Apr-18-2008 18:45:

The Difference It Makes is amazing.

The Sky Was Pink (Holden Mix) <--- such an epic tune, always gives me goosebumps.

Silent Night!! Kidding...
Can't really decide between Six Songs EP and Real. The former has 6 great versatile tracks and latter has one, but the bomb (of course, Fake's remix) - one of my fav techier prog tracks

Luke Abbott's new EP is also cool, but maybe too chilled out

Posted by MindShifter on Apr-18-2008 22:24:

i'd like to be different, but the difference it makes is just such a beautiful peice of music that i can't say that anything else released on border community could top it.

i will say tho that i love the label and the quality that typically gets turned out by it is top notch.

thus i was quite gutted to learn the BC boys wouldn't be in Miami this year

Posted by TranceArmstrong on Apr-18-2008 23:59:

the MFA tunes are sweet

but mine is Petter - Some Polyphony / Untight

both are essential tunes in my 'bag' that I will never get tired of. Good melodies, fierce basslines, they just sound cool and superbly produced

Posted by Faj27 on Apr-19-2008 07:16:

Nathan Fake - Outhouse. This song still gives me the chills. The difference it Makes comes in a close second.

Posted by IpLaYWiTLiGhTs on Apr-19-2008 20:42:

One of my favorite labels. Lot's of stuff that's border line chillout and electronica. Love how all the artists have a similar "sound" they're all trying to push, but still have their own unique style.

The MFA - The Difference It Makes
James Holden - A Break In The Clouds
Nathan Fake - The Sky Was Pink (Holden Remix)
Nathan Fake - Outhouse
Fairmont - I Need Medicine
Ricardo Tobar - Tickets

Fuck....amazing label.

Posted by Ek0nomik on Apr-19-2008 21:44:

I'm another one for The Difference It Makes.

Nathan Fake's Drowning in a Sea of Love was excellent as well.

Posted by TrancePharoah on Apr-19-2008 22:31:

Some very good releases on this label, N. Fake - Outhouse and The Sky was Pink are definately my favourites.

Posted by bamski on Apr-19-2008 22:33:

Original Mix of The Difference It Makes always makes me happy. I dont mind a little Soopertrack every now and then either.

But the sky was never pink for me.

Posted by Az on Apr-19-2008 22:45:

the sky was pink
the icelandic version is just perfect for those big synthy moments within quite loopy, non synthy techno, and tech-house sets, and the holden mix provides the perfect bridge back into that, or into pretty much anything else.....
two records, for me at least,that have been relevant and in my mind everytime I've play since they were released.....

I prefer A Break In The Clouds, all versions on the single are bloody marvelous, each one serves it's purpose.

And come to think of it, i seem to like Fairmont's Gazebo (especially the Rother Mix) a lot more now than when it came out.

Holden - The Idiots Are Winning, great album Idiot is a favourite and Lump is just amazing.

Avus - Real is up there too with the Ambient version of A Break In The Clouds

Posted by Bernd_Gradish on Apr-20-2008 19:57:

Hard to decide, but I'd say it is Holdens Lump for me.

Posted by TheLemurHimself on Apr-22-2008 18:08:

Ricardo Tobar- El Sunset

the difference it makes is deffinitely up there too

Posted by TranceArmstrong on Apr-22-2008 19:44:

also Holden - Idiot is really something special
