Cari Lekebusch Tribute Part 1 of 2

Extended Tracklist:

00 -Mr. James Barth "Tight As Can Be" Trainspotter's Nightmare 13 [One Side Each EP 1997]
I never quite understood why Cari used his Barth moniker for this EP. It's nothing at all like every other Barth track. What I do understand is that regardless of the name he used for this Ep it's a badass record. Rough and tough chicagoan business from both Cari and Steve Poindexter. Not many people seem to even know about this label of Cari's. Shame, there were a handful of excellent EPs on it.

01 - Mr. Barth & The Persuader "Untitled" Svek 16 [Snorkelmannen O Hans Vanner EP 1997]
An early Barth record and I think it shows. All the future Barth's after this EP were much cleaner sounding. This one, being rough around the edges, still has the feel to it that I think Cari used the Barth moniker for...But I think of this EP as a trial run towards the goods.

02 - A.D.C.L. "Jolt" Railyard Records 03 [The Shadow Boxers Round 2 EP 2006]
A newer Ep from the dynamic duo. Alexi and Cari have often collaborated in the past and seem to still know how to work together well enough to knock out the odd gem. Mind you it aint anything of their Pump Panel caliber...

03 - Bob Brewthbaker "Need This" Plumphouse 31 [Songs From Abroad EP 1998]
This was my one boo-boo. This is an alias of Alexi Delano's. Still it totally sounds like it could be a James barth record which is probably why I grabbed it from the shelf thinking it was Cari at the time. Duh.

04 - Cari Lekebusch "Reverted" Hybrid 1204 [Reverted/Aterkommen EP 1997]
Classic joint from early Hybrid. "Stop Fighting - Start Uniting" This is probably one of my favorite Lekebusch tunes. partly because of it's weird yet catchy sequencing and partly because I f&*kin' raved hard to this tune back in the past!

05 - Mr. James Barth "Straight' Barth Stripped" Svek 33 [Remixed For The Lords EP 1999]
Just another quality Svek release! Not many to be found anymore I find though...

06 - Cari Lekebusch "Skarume Max Peezay" Kaun Trax 05 [Understanding Of Nothing EP 2006]
As far as I know this is the newest record Cari has put out as of this show's air date. It's the first Kaun Trax EP to have a slightly different feel to it which is good. What it does remind me of is the Stockago Ep which is excellent.

07 - Puente Latino "Takes U There" Primevil 03 [Coming Back EP 1998]
Another classic joint with seemingly odd or just non-standard track format. One of the reasons it'll always stay at the top of the pile. A little extra work put in while making something keeps it around that much longer. Also a good exmaple of early primevil....you know...before it went all sucky.

08 - Cristian Vogel "Never Too Late (Cari Lekebusch Remix)" Primevil 01 [Two Fat Downloads EP 1997]
This is the direction I had hope Primevil was going to continue with. The Cristian Vogel original track is deadly and the track I bought the EP for. it turns out that when I got home and gave the rest of the EP a solid listen I relaized the Lekebusch remix is off the charts! The vocal in this kicks my ass still.

09 - Cari Lekebusch "Omslaget Motiverat" Hybrid 1203 [Vet Dom Som For Att LP 1998]
My personal top of the list Cari track. Amongst my friends it's known as the "Bwammmmmmmmm" track. The hats and cymbals that slide of each other like lump free gravy followed by that wicked synth riff that kicks in around the 2/3 mark....Damn.

10 - The Pump Panel "To The Sky" Missile 09 [To The Sky Remix EP 1998]
Pump Panel had a bit of a rotating line-up behind it, but this EP was Alexi and Cari. The flip side has a Fred remix which is Cari by himself I do believe. The original is much better than Cari's solo effort. This time anyway. Very similiar in feel and production style I find to Dave Clarke's Red Series...ya? no? I think so. Probably better though. "To The Sky!"

11 - The Advent "Overseeya (Cari Lekebusch Remix)" Internal LP08 [Shaded Elementz LP 1996]
This track is just another one of Cari's drum kit rhythm tracks. Even though that's "all" it really is it's still better than what a lot of current producers would call a song. The melodic bits near the end are ear pleasers for sure.

12 - Mystic Letter K "Caprilectro" Eletrix 05 [Caprilectro EP 2001]
One of the things I've always appreciated about Cari is his appreciation of the "other" genres out there. A lot of big names stick to their pigeon hole until the current fad changes. Cari has always done a bit of everything and for that he gets props. Yo! I don't think I've ever heard a bad electro track out of him, I'm so picky with the stuff that in itself makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

13 - Mr. James Barth "Live Feelin's" Svek LP01 [Stealin Music LP 1998]
This SONG is what I feel is what the Mr. James Barth alias was driving towards. Whether Cari knows it or not. I've always felt this LP to be gold and this song in particular to be the pinnacle of all that is Barth. Dare tell me I'm wrong?

14 - Cari Lekebusch "Deepest Thought" 430 West LP02 [Detroit Calling LP 2001]
I didn't even notice Cari's track on this double for quite some time. To be honest its not one of his best, but I still find it catches my ear for some reason. Rather than think about it...I'll just move on.

15 - Cari Lekebusch "Fusion" Loop 22 [Untitled EP 1995]
Bloop Bloop! I love when Cari gets these bleepy drum kit workouts going. Layered snares and those crisp hats of his mixed with the acid chirps are enough to make me giggle like a schoolgirl. If you like this track I also recommend his Yakari work...

16 - Fred 2 "Monoflight" Missile LP02 [Launches 2 LP 2000]
Fred seems to be the name Cari adopted when putting material out on the North American Chicago/Mid-West acid influenced labels. It's all quite good. Some longer head trips like this one and some more hectic electro and tracky shenanigans as well. All Fred is good Fred.
