Notes
note: The UK test-pressing only double-12" EP for "Q-Chastic" comes in a generic die-cut sleeve, and is limited to 100 copies. The records themselves, although pressed as a double-12", are actually meant to be cut [because of their groove placement] as two 10" records. Originally scheduled to have been issued as a double-7", this aborted EP will never be made available for commercial release.
note: The UK test-pressing only double-12" ep. for "Q-Chastic" does not feature a tracklisting anywhere either on its packaging, or on the records' labels. The corrections are as appear above.
note: The version of the untitled song, "---------- [q-chastic - #__]" is different than that of "CAT 002" by Q-CHASTIC, which appears on the UK cd for "The Philosophy Of Sound And Machine" (A.R.T. 2CD).
As for the most popular mp3 "bootleg", that has been floating around the net for almost six years: it's 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). It's 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 Drum'n'Bass tracks sound way ahead of its time - and that's 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 don't 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 - everything's different, and how anyone seriously could think of this being the real deal is a mystery to me.
