DJ Rap - Journeys Through The Land Of Drum 'N' Bass - 05-Jan-08 06:10 AM
Quality throughout. All top tunes and a nice moment when FSOL's PNG drops. The selection is excellent and manages to chart the evolution of the genre.
I had this on tape (which I lost) and remember playing it in the car on the to a rave in. By the time we got to the rave DJ Rap had managed, through this mix, to convert two people to the way of the drum and the bass. Good work DJ Rap.
Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy - 21-Aug-07 10:22 AM
Very, very good. Music that ranges from really quite disturbing to really quite beautiful in the blink of an eye. My personal favourite is "Bucephalus bouncing Ball" - amazing sounds that are best listened to very loud.
If you have not heard "Come To Daddy" then after purchasing this release, go to your local video store and take out Joel Schumacher's "8mm" staring Nicolas Cage & Joaquin Phoenix. At the climax of the film Cage goes round to the baddie's house and has a rummage around his bedroom. Bearing in mind that the baddie is a snuff movie actor type of baddie it is interesting to note that he has "Come To Daddy" spinning on his deck in the corner of the room.
How i larfed!
Anyhow back to the music - sublime and scary in almost equal measure. I have the CD but based on posted comments I will be getting the vinyl.
Bizzy B - Brainstorm E.P. - 01-Aug-07 03:19 AM
Without a doubt "This one is computerised" is my favourite tune from this EP and probably from 1992 as a whole. The layers of beats, the noises, the squelches, the memories...
This tune was embedded in my brain since I heard it one Sunday afternoon on a Colin Dale hardcore "chart show" courtesy of Kiss FM. I think it was the rastaman sample that stuck with me for 13 years until I finally tracked it down (via the www).
If you've ever hunted a tune for 13 years - slapping it on the turntable for the first time is a momentous event.
Search, find, purchase, enjoy.
Various - Breaks, Bass And Bleeps - 01-Aug-07 02:47 AM
A good selection of tunes from the heady(ish)days of rave. The Project One tune is good, the Urban Hype tune is good too, but imagine my delight when I discovered the Mental Cube tune "Q" sitting half way through Side 1.
As an avid collector of all things Brian Dougans and Gary Cockbain I was chuffed to pieces. "Q" is both a masterpiece and a f*****g excellent piece of music - well worth tracking down.
Obviously as rare as rocking horse shit these days, so if you cannot get it on 12" purchase this LP and add a a slice of electronic musical history to your collection. Enjoy.
Various - Premier Toons Vol. 11 - 21-May-07 02:18 AM
The EP is all about the Aphex Twin remix of Born Slippy by Underworld. As you would expect it is superb, incorporating extracts from Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd and announcements made over the tannoy at the Woodstock Festival, detailing some brown acid of dubious quality that is doing the rounds.
The original of Born Slippy is a top tune however I think that RDJ has made it that much better. Storming.
