Ricardo Villalobos – Dependent And Happy - Four

The latitude and longitude coordinates on the runout etching side b are from a place in Cancun, Mexico !?!

i hardly can believe that this record is limited to 300 pieces. don´t know, where this information comes from. until now 182 people added it to their collection here. not every collector has a discogs or adds everything. i bet, in some weeks there are listed much more than 300. this is a very strange phenomenon.

Great record like stated by others. I just want to add that Two Kids Set Off uses samples coming from interviews and/or phonecalls concerning the events that took place in Columbine High School (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre). You can find the samples pretty easily on internet. The main sample "Two Kid Set Off" comes from an interview with a fellow student who explains how at first nobody exactly knew what was happening until the students came to realise that 2 kids had entered the building and were shooting other kids randomly. You can also hear police phonecalls, however, I can't that these are related to the same event.

I'm maybe overinterpreting all of this, but it is well-known that Ricardo isn't exactly a real 'US fan' and maybe this can be seen as some kind of a protest track against the American fire arm law... or maybe he just used the samples to make a badass track. And keeping in mind that we as music lovers sometimes like so find a meaning which in fact is just not there, I think the latter is true ;-) Great tracks, stuff to !

Fantastic and shady limited release by the Minimal Dr. Villalobos.
Track A starts out with his signiture rolling percussion, but quickly drops in some great melodic keyboard work. Phantom synth pads and reverberating tones space out into the mix and create a sonic collage of haunting proportions.
Track B is a prescription in chilling beats and samples. The samples hint of people confessing to an uncouth situation where eventually "Two kids set off". There is also a science fiction aspect to it that is realized by some droning tonality, robot like voices and a sample stating "please stand by".
Slightly on the dark tip, but definitely on the psychedelic trip, this EP gives fans of Ricardo a run for their money.
Great material and the limited fashion of this being pressed at 300 copies makes it a joy to own and spin.

Dont pay these prices from these idiots!! just spoke to a few record shops and they have ordered more copies so there will be more coming at normal retail price :)

This discogs prices are what happen when you put "perlon" + "ricardo villalobos" +"limited" in the same sentence. They knew this will happen. They should have put on the limited run another not so famous perlon guy and release the villalobos part 4 without all this bullshit. At the end of the day is the true lovers/fan/collectors/djs that get screwed.

£61, honestly? Whoever is doing this should be ashamed of themselves, it's like ten euros if you live in Berlin, and it's not even thaaat great in comparison to the rest of the album.
