State Of Flux - Grow More Pot

YeS, yes, wot i can say is .. dedicated to Caleb - my son, and drainstorms' godson was a nice touch. Explaining that to him now tho... Hmmph. Oh, at one point I seem to remember there were that many copies knockin about that they were gettin turned into Kitsch clocks ... 99p stores Bware. Ha.Ha. Is that seventy five words yet? Damn.. Mmm nice tune eh ? I like ma jelly kinda wobbly even WoNkY how about you ?

This is a seminal crowd pleaser this one. I am aware the origin of this track is sometimes disputed,but i can confirm this track was produced by twitch and brainstorm. i believe a test copy of the track was played at Pure late 92/early 93 and the crowd reaction was enough of an indicator to guarantee a full release. Twitch and Brainstorm are purests(no pun intended)and do not seek any publicity from the tracks they release. I have several of their releases and have never seen one yet that is attributed to either of them directly. They use various monikers and aliases which i think undelines the point that these guy's werent in it for fame and fortune but more a way of life. Massive Respect.

According to the t&b site this record is described thus "A kind of bootleg remix of State of Fluxs' "Mind Weeds" which featured a great deal more of the Jello Biafra speech and was actually quite informative...it was available on a spectacular two sided pictire disc - one side dedicated to the weed in question, the other to the T&B man. "
EGE BAM YASI was on that record label at the time.

Yes, State of Flux were a couple of guys - their names escape me - who were friends of a friend at Glasgow School of Art, back in 1993 or thereabouts. It definitely isn't a cover for Twitch & Brainstorm, although they were certainly friendly with the guys from Pure, and may have played one of the big Pure nights at the Barrowlands. I remember a party at their flat where Speedy J was a guest, and they owned a Roland 303: I'd never seen one before...

I have the picture disc - TB-1005. In the run off grooves it says "Dedicated to Caleb" on side 1 and side 2 has dedicated to Fraser. The track is credited to "State of Flux" and there is no mention of Edinburgh's favourite acid eggster anywhere. I think this track is more likely to be the work of Twitch and Brainstorm (the DJ's at Pure and the men behind the T & B label) rather than Ege Bam Yasi. I remember EBY was playing a few PA's at Pure around the time that this was released but I don't think he's connected to it. Anybody out there know for sure ?
