Rephlex DMX Krew - Where is a good place to start??

I love 80's electro-hop and really didnt give this guy much of a listen untill now... I know he's got 6 albums out on rephlex... Where should I start?

The album "Wave Funk" is AWESOME in my opinion. I think that's a decent place to start!

It's ripe with analog synths...

frreesssshhh!!!!

My favourites are We Are DMX and Collapse of the Wave Function. We Are DMX is total shameless 80s style synthpop, and Collapse is like a bangin' version of 70s German electronic music.

We are DMX

the older stuff is more 80s

I am also curious where is a good place to start.

Got hold of most of his albums a while ago but haven't really bothered listening to any cos there's so many

and very 80s

Has he released any more vocal albums recently?

check out this single:

http://www.discogs.com/DMX-Krew-Logic-Family-Highly-Illogical/release/3992462

we are dmx

but also: march to the stars is really great and easy listening -- A bunch more just came from the label.. i grabbed mine for like 10 bucks and normally they run for 30!

I started with We Are DMX, so I'll parrot that suggestion. It's a great album oozing with 80s cheese (20 Minute Affair).

my bad. i haven't been following his new stuff very much.

Nu Romantix is very good. I didn't really like sound of the street when it came out but I haven't listened to it in a decade so I should take another listen.

This is from Nu Romantix

god damn, this thread has made me want to revisit early DMX Krew. Awesome!

I saw him in '04 and he was excellent. He was singing too. So good.

dmx krew from this year is pretty good too. more acidic than the electro stuff you are seeking though.

DMX Krew is one of the most underrated and consistently high-quality artists around the IDM/Rephlex crowd IMO.

Not to mention, he's a super nice guy, he actually responded to my message on facebook about a production technique on one of his tracks... plus he's awesome enough to put up this site - you can see his studio (circa like 2008?) and he even sampled a ton of his gear for listens and gives a few tips on how he does his music.

Big ups to Ed

Yeah, I had a bunch of email conversations with him in '04; we talked about vocoders and deliberately playing records at the wrong speed. Great guy!

Troons eargasms can be heard year-round

I can feel ur luv.

I know all the early stuff, and it's great, but can anyone describe his recent output? Is he evolving? how so? I kind of thought his music was maturing from the little I heard, and I don't remember what I heard.
