Cure, The - A Forest - 06-Mar-08 03:51 AM
The Cure must have been listening to "Gut Feeling" and certainly its intro from the USA band Devo found on the "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!" album to come up with this cult tune named "A Forest". A song still played nowadays from mp3 computer jukeboxes in some of your most boring inner-city bars…
Funny inspiration or intensive listening followed years later by creative rehearsals? Lack of sampler budget or discrete plagiarism? Watherver, both of these tunes are fine to me but the two years younger Devo way is certainly more unfixed.

Joubert Singers, The - Stand On The Word - 01-May-06 03:59 AM
"Stand On The Word" was first ever recorded live in the First Baptist Church in Crown Heights, NYC, in 1982.
Soon after the church pressed up a couple of hundred copies for the congregation, a couple of blocks away from Walter Gibbons' Jus Born recording studios. Walter Gibbons had already turned new born Christian since a few years, avid Gospel records collector with that; and played the original recording often behind the counter at the 7th av. Rock and Soul shop were he worked. Walter Gibbons must be credited to have revealed this Phyllis McKoy Joubert song to New York most discerning DJs and soulful dance music aficionados, as it quickly became a Garage, Loft and Zanzibar club classic and ended up remixed by Tony Humphries for this wider release.

Ugly Edits - 31-Dec-05 03:42 AM
Some say that some of these truly Ugly Edits have been bootlegged but what Mr. Parrish is busy with nowadays (probably due to lack any remaining creativity and imagination) is just as close as bootlegging.
At least when Greg Wilson output re-edits on Tirk, this records company fixes clearance terms with the track's copyrights holders', so that it turn up to be a legitimate release (such as with any official remixes), EMI does the same for it's brilliant OST series.
In Theo Parrish case it's not done so but pirate style, this is why it looks like promo copies, test pressings or white labels.
There is no much wrong with that way of doing in my view in such limited quantity but if then in turn Parrish's edits are pressed again by others and in turns these are judged by his own fan base as rip-off copies, this is shear non-sense. At least West-End or Unidisc do release their respective back catalogues legitimately: at some level to the benefit of their own artists (not like Trax or DJ Int. who never dealed fair with anyone) and anyway music on such re-issues are way better and deeper in scope than with any of such indeed -Ugly- Edits. So please, stop spreading here and there on how Theo Parrish is such a creative genius.

Autechre - Anti EP - 19-Oct-05 10:32 AM
The 'Ambient Soho' shop had just closed, damn we were too late and already bags half full of cakes from other shops in the area but the little Indian girl owner felt we weren't from the U.K. or something ... She was still in the shop with the long bold clerk and two other clients hanging. She came back at the door and let us in, closing back directly after us. What was currently playing there was so amazing, that I stared at the clerk and asked directly for that record. He told me 'No', I felt like falling down in the abyss, 'I can't sell it, it's not out yet, it's a test-pressing'. I insisted as I found that track so great 'I need it now, I know white labels, I buy lots of these, this one is fantastic, I can't leave without it, please, I'll pay you 3 times or your price, whatever'. 'I'm really sorry, I can't do that'. 'Well I'll have to wait until it's out then, test or not it has to be' I concluded, then asked 'Who did this?' (I didn't recognised directly Autechre's music, even if I had previous cakes from them) and while I was totally under the sonic effect of this piece the guy at the turntable pointed me at these two guys in the shop 'They did it' and my all space travelling mate 'Eiffel' gave the duo our little label contact card. 'Ow! These are the guys from the blue record' he told, pointing the logo to his companion: 'Aah! yeah.'. 'What does he said?' asked Eiffel to me, 'They know our records' This is Rob and Sean ... I returned on the continent without that yet unreleased Anti EP but we had unforgettable good time at Megatripolis where I got tuned for too long into a Californian VJ software named Bliss. Back home I urgently broke up the seal, as an opposition to the Criminal Justice Bill and of course because I could not wait any longer to listen to that new Autechre. Each records brings his memories ... memories can't wait.

Digital Excitation - Pure Pleasure / Dream Party / R U Moony - 19-Oct-05 08:27 AM
A good example of the kind of New Beat rave sound that Joey Beltram (sometimes confused with John Beltran!) was enthusiastic about at the time as he later disclosed in some 'trendy' UK magazines' interviews. This Boccaccio type of tune was one of these. Not really my cup of tea, it was indeed a rave signal !
