Review by verbos Dec 12, 2007
Part 2 sounds like a lost track from Dave Clarke's RED series. It has a massive, beating kick drum, backwards edits and analog synth sequences and stabs. Clarke's records are sighted as an influence by most of the harder techno producers who came after him. Since this pre-dated the REDs by several years, it really shows how ahead of their time these guys were. Unbelievable.

I can only assume they did this production in a big studio on an SSL mixing board, like they recommend in "The Manual", and it pays off in how tight it sounds.

The JAMS going underground.

The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu's album "The Black Room"
was never released. This is the single from it,
released in October 1991 on 7"/12"/CD/Cassette. This underground techno track was originally released in the autumn of 1990 pressed in a limited edition of 350 copies on grey vinyl. It's the greatest track Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty have ever recorded together. We who have heard it are still waiting...
