referencing Volume One, LP, NG 023

Pure classic tunes from Brooklyn here. This record inspired many people in Europe involved in making techno music. Renaat Vandepapeliere, boss of R & S Records for example. As Frankie Bones told himself in the forum, Renaat was interested in some tracks of Frankie Bones, especially the tracks "Just As Long As I Got You" and "Call It Techno". Because there were offers from Deconstruction and XL for both tracks, they had to wait on signing these records.
Renaat did not want to wait so he did release cover versions of both records. The first was a cover version of "Call It Techno" that was released under the artist name of Space Opera (cat# RS 89014). The second was a cover of "Just As Long As I Got You" that was released under the artist name of The Project (cat# RS 89015) and had the funny track nam "Can Batman Escape?". The belgian group 101 also covered "Just As Long As I Got You". It was Nu Groove that bid the most and released the original versions on this record.

The track "Another Place Another Time" also inspired Renaat and his friends cause they used the same riff melody from this tune in "Space Opera 3001 (Part 1)" released on R & S Records under the cat# RS 911. Listen to both tracks and you'll see what I mean. Listen also to the b-side of Jambo!'s Drumattack on Wonka Beats. Koenie and Sven Van Hees used the same vocal but they changed the words in "Another Day Another Time"!

The last track of this record "Halfway To Seven" has to be one of the strangest techno tunes ever made. It begins with some TR-808 drumpatterns and suddenly a guitarsample comes in it. Bones and Dee sampled the guitartune and cut it in pieces. So the guitarsample begins short and as further the track goes as longer the sample. Finally you hear a complete guitarsolo on a very techno drumpattern base. Pure Rock&Roll techno!! Very weird.
