Q-Chastic - Q-Chastic

betadron, Sep 17, 2008

Hey, all you current 53 members who claim to have a copy of this release: Why not grab a digicam, make some neat pics and finally produce EVIDENCE that this record exists after all? :)

As for the most popular mp3 "bootleg", that has been floating around the net for almost six years: its bogus (of course!), but let me elaborate a bit on that matter.
There are four untitled mp3s with the following playtimes: "A1" - 8:07 / "B1" - 9:06 / "C1" - 4:03 / "C2" 10:11. Track "C1" has been directly ripped from the "The Philosophy Of Sound And Machine" CD (Applied Rhythmic Technology, 1992). Its the only track released under the moniker Q-Chastic and it has been confirmed several times, that this track is NOT included on the mysterious Q-Chastic EP.
But what about the other tracks? Anyone who heard it surely has noticed that these DrumnBass tracks sound way ahead of its time - and thats just because they are! They have been ripped from the Compilation "Food For Thoughts" (Shoebox, 1997), in particular: "A1" = John B Translucogene / "B1" = Riddler Thoughts / "C2" = SDR The Chimes.

The fake bootleg was compiled just for fun, first time released into the Audiogalaxy network (around 2001/2, when it was still a filesharing platform) just to see how many people would fall for the (obvious!) fake. Many people did (and still do), the fake even made it into wikipedia until a wise editor deleted the bogus information.

How do I know? I know the person who did it (although I dont condone these actions, hehe), who - like me - never would have believed that this thing is floating around still today. I mean, come on: Look at the different production quality, the different sound, the different style - everythings different, and how anyone seriously could think of this being the real deal is a mystery to me.
