Early ramblings of Tom Jenkinson show how much of an influence the Warp & Rephlex labels had on his earlier sound and show that it was inevitable hed end up recording for them at some point! Some of the tracks are showing a little sign of age, but are worth a listen never the less.

Squarepusher - nicely, son! Yeah, Vic Acid delivers on the beeps, Big Loada does it on the breaks and some of the later releases are a jazz fans nightmares on wax!

Its got to be said, Tom Jenkinson never fails to deliver on some count - just when you think you know what to expect from the boy he throws the rulebook away and releases things you never thought youd buy. Then you moan & complain at the lack of a break, put it aside and play again two weeks later and get the point. Genius!

I have everything except a promo mix of Mr.Kirks Nightmare I have heard about (yep, even the rare as rocking horse shit couple of hundred copies in exsistence early singles) and will post details here very shortly.

Usual Suspects - 12-Sep-01 09:26 PM
Usual Suspects are definately one of the big guns in Renegade Hardwares armoury - Killa Bees is a classic of a track. Spawn & Hole Punch deliver the minimal, thumping beats and the Syndrome e.p. just rips it big time! If you like youre Drum n Bass HARD, give this lot a go. Wicked, mate.

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II - 12-Sep-01 09:25 PM
The sound of electric lights humming away in a morgue at 4am mixed with various hums, whistles and parp noises to produce the perfect soundscape for anybody who finds comedowns a nightmare and has to try and get a few hours kip or go mad.

But seriously, this is probably one of the more coherant albums put together by Richard D. James and although nothing more than a (challenging) collection of soundscapes it does provide a stunning collection of tracks that can be enjoyed by anyone with an open mind and doesnt stray too far into total wierd out territory that other Aphex Twin releases are prone to do.

I cannot recommend this enough - 21st century classical, experimental chilled stuff and deserves a place in everyones collection.

Ceasefire vs. Deadly Avenger - Evel Knievel - 12-Sep-01 09:25 PM
Yep - a wicked tune thatll be caned for years by everyone from old timer party DJs to upstart no-clue DJs... a real party tune that appeals to all tastes nicely and will warm up even the most dead dancefloor.
