Boneless One - Street Trax Vol. 1 - 19-Aug-09 04:17 PM
"Street Trax Vol. 1" Was sort of a compilation of some of the harder tracks i had made during 2002 - 2005. All songs were originally recorded onto C-cassettes and final edits and processing was made on a computer.
I made total 20 copies of "Street Trax Vol.1" CDr and sold them locally and thru a website. A few copies were sent abroad. The first batch of CDs were numbered #01/20, #02/20.. and so forth. The cost of the Street Trax Vol.1 CD was 6€ to cover the costs of the CDs and the laser prints. I made zero proffit off this venture.
A while later i made a few more extra copies for those who missed out on first batch with tags RE-1, RE-2, RE-3, RE-4 and so forth. This time i had no money for actual laser print cover sheets so i had print them home. The cover print with the woman leaning on the hood was scanned off a old generic t-shirt i found from one of the local 2nd hand shops.

1. Oo i got to get [my rhymes together] came out nice with simple and effective elemets, decent bassline and 303s. This was the mk2 version of an earlier version. The sample uses a radio host talking with a female caller on the phone. Guess where this sample comes from. :)
2. F is for Fresh TR-808 kick drums and slammin snares. A short tape filler that came out ok.
3. The female voice in "Feeling acieeed" is just a short, messed up remain of a phrase "Feeling of desire to go out and dance" due to short sample time on DSD-2 sampler-delay. The track should be titled "Feeling of de..".
4. Gnarly kick #1 Uses a low pitch MC-202 as the kick drum and various shuffled percussions from R-8.
5. I am king - U suck is a fast driven acid tune for the mad acid headz.
6. LovE track was just something to fill the remaining odd minute at the end of a tape and it uses DR-550 and TR-505 and a cheezy bassline from MC-202. "You need a freak like me to make love to your body".
7. BUS IT! Is a bit long and repetitive but still my favorite with its intensive energy. It required quite a bit of manual work to get it composed as desired. I kept hitting the MSQ-700s "run/stop" button like crazy for the pause "effects" hoping to stay (and continue to stay) in beat. I think i had the MSQs metronome beep set on to know where i was. It uses the DR-550, low pitched hats from R-8 and MC-202.
8. Little bs has a loud cowbell. Enough said. "Little bitches dislike me".
9. Gnarly kick #2 Is obviously the chart busting sequal to Gnarly kick #1. The overdriven "kick drum" was a just sample of electric noise coming in from one of the unearthed plugs.
10. Shaking yo butt has a unique rhythmic drive to it throughout the song and it has slowly became one of my favorites. "..Got you moving and shaking your butt to the hip-house mega cut" If this wont make your booty move your booty must be dead. The sample "Shaking your butt" was trigger-driven via TR-808s accent just like all the samples on this CD with few exceptions.
11. Bassn-Bassn-Bass and more bass has the distinctive TR-505 hi-hats, DR-550 kick drum and whatnot and additional claps from R-8.
12. King of freshness requires a big thumping sound system due to its deep pitched subwoofing R-8 kick drum.
13. Stupid MF is a monotonic badass song.
14. Trés bizarre is the oldest track on this CD. A simple deep track with TR-808, MC-202 bleeps, additional claps and cymbals from 505 and the ever-continuing piano riff sample. For the record, i have no idea what the french woman in this song says but she sounds hot :)
15. Acid BASS! The floor-filler-mega-hit. Smoke, strobes and some more smoke!

Mescalinum United - Vs. Evil (A New Level) - 21-Jun-07 10:03 AM
I bought this record when it came out in 1993. It was always one of "those" records I had hard time placing into a set because of the style of the track. It reminds me of Aphex Twin quite a bit and it is great for those athmospheric, moody electro sets.
I still havent figured out the popularity of this record though, maybe I just cant hear the "ingenuity" or originality of the track. Sure, it is good in its own right no doubt about it but beyond that, not a chance.
In fact I was more less disappointed of this record back then but for some strange reason i have been holding on to it for all these years which is why mine is still in almost unplayed condition. Maybe the reason for keeping this piece is in the dazzling radiant day-glo green color the vinyl bears, who knows..

Spicelab - The Spirit Of Fear - 17-Jan-07 11:31 PM
One of those few records in which every track is excellent.

To me the real stand out title has to be "Hyperspice".
With its 9:18 min duration it might be slightly over the top in todays standards, but theres constantly so much going on that you will not get bored and oh how much energy it has!! Plenty of crunchy analogue sounds with a death defying distorted kick drum that keeps on chewing on the background, locking you in a weird mental state while the surrounding strobos are flashing. There is also a regular kick drum in conjunction with the monster-kick creating a unique rhythm sensation. The crispy 303 and the siren-like sounds will definitely keep in you on your toes until the soothing, positive organ melody steps in sending you floating... until the kick-drum-from-hell returns bashing the non-dedicated to pieces! Consider yourself warned.
The title track "The Spirit Of Fear" is more of a laidback song and has that certain futuristic and very typical Oliver Lieb athmosphear to it. It isnt a bad track, but in all of its typicality it doesnt offer you much.
S.Y.N.C. is a faster track with addicting 303 line and a variety of analogue sounds that are very familiar from the "Quicksand EP".
"Ant Attack" is the second stand out track for me. It has a cool sub-bass sound combined with break beat and has the typical early 90s german trance "chill out" part around the middle of the track with a nice melody.

In all, this was yet another quality piece from O.Lieb, maybe not as big as "Quicksand EP" (HH010) but much better than "Spicelab EP" (HH007) in my opinion.

T. Vee - U Are A Sucker / Beautiful Symphony (Remixes) - 05-Apr-06 06:13 AM
While most of the Rave 55 releases always had a weird bunch of useless (and usually boring) remixes of the same track, then i guess this baby was a rare exception to the rule.

The earlier mixes of "U are a sucker" (titled "crazy" and "wild" on cat# R.55019/020) were already amazing and energetic tunes in itself. However, the "Incredible Kide Remix" at 144BPM blew the roof off! Hell, it disintegrated the whole damn house to pieces!! Westbam played this in late 92 on his radio mix at the "Atlantis" rave in Helsinki, Finland.
It is hard to find so much straight forward yet controlled energy and such a intriguing vocal sample in such a simple track like this. If you can get ahold of this release youll figure out what i mean. The abovementioned "crazy" mix of "You are a sucker" was re-released some while ago, but (to my knowledge) this version hasnt been. Highly recommended piece of history right here for the real old school tekkno/hardcore heads. It might sound a bit dated now, but compared to all the compressed modern "techno" crap thats coming in from all directions this will not give in.
Records might come and go in and out of collections, but to me this is one of those "suckers" ill hold on til grave.

Colone - Acid Science Trax Vol. 2 - 01-Apr-06 08:15 AM
All tracks are great, including those short acid fill-in track though it is not as raw as vol. 1 was. Anyway, the real stand out track for me is "D-9-5" which has a spooky yet friendly athmosphere to it that is hard to describe. Perfect example of smart use of 303, perfectly matching bassline and shuffle rhythm.
"Phasematic" is hypnotic 303/707(?) tune that goes on and on and on varying most every aspect of the TB.

This record rocked at the new years rave in 1992!!
