Artist:	PILOTE
Title:	No Truck
Label:	CERTIFICATE 18 (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$3.00
Catalog #:	CERT 1836CD

"Brighton based Pilote, nom de guerre of Stuart Cullen, releases its second single on Certificate 18's Electronic Projects. Three more marvellous musical outings available on 12" and CD single. Taken from his debut LP Antenna, 'No Truck' moves into a tempestuous housey territory, constantly evolving through intense scramblings of electro style beats breaking down menacingly into a melancholic sculpture of sound like swarming killer bees. 'The Ol' Electric Chair' sends meandering Morse code messages against cascading beats on top of a soundtrack vibe that lasts forever. Lastly, there's a lament theme for somebody they call 'Junior'. Influenced by almost every style of music and self taught on guitar and keyboard, Pilote is the man of the millennium." Last copies, reduced price.

1999 release; reduced price, last copies. "Second compilation in this somewhat genre-defining (uhh... 'Intelligent Darkstep') series, filling us in on the last two years of Certificate 18 label direction/output (previous artists whom have used Cert18 as a launch pad: Photek, Source Direct, and Klute). New roster/selection includes Lexis (whose track 'Hypnotise' (present) was remixed for an earlier compilation by none other than Autechre), Mainline, Black Science Labs, Paradox + DMR, and Polar, as well as two tracks by Klute and one remix of Klute by Photek. Emphasis on the drum... and the bass. Staple." -- Hrvatski.

Artist:	PILOTE
Title:	Antenna
Label:	CERTIFICATE 18 (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	CERT18 006CD

"Brighton based Pilote, nom de guerre of Stuart Cullen, has been knocking out skits and tracks since the pimply age of 17. Nearly self-taught, just a few guitar lessons, he cites influences as diverse as Black Dog, Stevie Wonder, Phillip Glass, and Public Enemy. He has developed an inviting sound without depending on specific gadgetry. 'I've got an old PC and a dodgy Yamaha. You adapt to what you have.' This lack of reverence for high technology has not cornered him into the lo-fi ethos. His music transcends these boundaries with its audible enthusiasm, an emotional, provocative and not entirely melancholy free sound. His tunes often invoke a childish smile on your face, sensual and sensitive. It also displays a dry wit and humour which has something to do with the odd smattering of obscure, subliminal, and comedic samples from TV chat shows, and snippets of Peter Cook. Pilote's debut album release for Certificate 18 is called Antenna, a collection of tracks displaying heavenly hooks, snatched euphorias from a very friendly dancefloor, happy softcore evolving from microscopic breakdowns, these adventurous rhythms, plural melodies, and ambient textures that will keep you intrigued."

Artist:	RUISORT
Title:	Acapulco Now
Label:	CERTIFICATE 18 (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	CERT18 015CD

"Following the 'Ipanema 5-0' single, Ruisort release their debut album on Certificate 18, the latest in their series of titles from Mexican artists. This album is a splendid post lounge electronica collection, full of electro / chillout moods through to breakbeat mirages, and would sit happily in any collection of downtempo grooves. Featuring Fussibles? (part of the Nortec collective) uptempo rework of Ruisorts 'Suite Caleta' in breaks fashion, the diversity of this whole project cannot be questioned (the artists influences ranging from Uwe Schmidt, Kraftwerk, The Orb, Howie B and Kruder & Dorfmeister -- all of who are felt within these grooves)."
