DJPC - Inssomniak - 21-Nov-06 01:47 AM
What can I say about this *Classic* . Well its still as good today as it was in 1991 and unforgettable as a tune. Also wherever on the vinyl the sample Insomniak is heard, it is possible to wind back over the sample which produces another sample I cant sleep as the vinyl goes in reverse.. Genius!!

Economix - Economix EP - 05-Nov-06 09:21 AM
Im surprised this vinyl had not been commented on, so I thought I would.

This super rare EP in my opinion, is probably on a par with 2-X-Tremes X-tremity EP. When it comes to deciding as to which is probably the best 4 Track EP to be produced from 1992, I would have to choose the Economix EP. Many will disagree, but the 2 tracks Loop (aka The Finest) & Panic just edge it in front for me.

With all 4 tracks being outstanding, starting with - 5AD an uplifting, piano house number from start to finish. The quality of the next track, Loop being another classic piano house tune, it samples a song from the 80s (which I just cant remeber the name of at the moment), and blends it in with the accompanying piano backing and energetic rhythm brilliantly.

On the other side is Panic which has more of a breakbeat rhythm with the scratched in samples Feel The Panic, Got To Have It, building the tune up until finally exploding into another uplifting piano riff, before blending everything in together with the vocal samples, deep bass line and nice breakbeat (played everywhere at the time). Finally, last but not least, Equake, this tune has a harder edge to it, with breakbeat again being the substance of the main rhythm, but still mixing it up with piano lines throughout.

Overall, each tune stands up in its own right, and being as rare as the Dodo, its not surprising that this vinyl routinely sells for £150+.

And at last, for anyone desperate for this tune but restricted by cost, it has been repressed on the original metalwork whilst also including a copy of the original artwork that accompanied the original release.

An essential piece of vinyl for any Old Skool Piano House collector or DJ.

Hixxy - Spaceman / Saturday Night - 16-Oct-06 01:11 PM
If there was ever a going to be a 12" vinyl that i love & hate at the same time, it has to be this. As Spaceman goes a a tune it is A+. An excellent rendition of Babylon Zoos release with a nice energy busting hard rhythm backing it. Shame the same can not be said for the second side Saturady Night by Wigfield. Hixxy has produced some good work in the past but some (including this track), has fallen well short of decent, with this one being more Cheesy than previous. So much so, I actually tried to demolish the B-Side by scratching it enough to stop my mates playing it constantly on the decks at the time. Something that is totallly out of character for a vinyl collector !!. Amazingly the B-Side, with several deep scratches, survives and plays with no audible noise.
And so for its resiliance I have given it another chance.

Various - The Core Foundation EP - 16-Oct-06 01:11 PM
I aquired this excellent LP from DJ Sass when he stopped off to meet us on his way to Rezerection in April 97 , around about midnight just to let me have a copy of this album (peace m8). This has got to be the best compilation ever released. Maybe because at the time all the tracks were un-released and as such it was not a best of LP. From Happy Hardcore through to some harder Bouncy Techno this has something for everyone. Probabaly my favourite 3 tracks are Ready To Fly , You Got It, & This Beat Kicks. Though I am not really into Happy Hardcore much, these 3 tracks definately had an edge which was not cheesy (as so much of the Happy Hardcore scene had become at the by then), and so fitting in with the more bouncy/hard techno tracks on the rest of the LP which are all generally top notch additions.
