A Guy Called Gerald - The Glok Track
May 05, 2012
Glok Track starts with the spoken line "too marvellous for words" and that's exactly it.
DWA (2) Featuring Orville - I Wish I Could Fly
May 05, 2012
This thing is wrong on so many levels.
Forget the crappy (yet well produced) Monkees-thing and head straight for the B-side tune Immortal Kombat. This tune has it all: nice strings, sub sub sub bass, slammming amens, a spine tingling timestretched "Can anybody hear me"-breakdown followed by an equally goose-bumpy classic reggae break... mmm nice. Don't miss out on this one.
Regarding releases 1 to 7 I wholeheartedly agree with wozza. 8 to 10 however are a lot better, most of the tunes on those EPs are really good. Compared to the crappy first 7 releases on HNR it's almost like they were produced by a completely different person.
From  Jamiejame911 Sep 19, 2010One of my mates has a wl copy of 4, so they MIGHT have received the test press stage and no further. Mark must have just forgotten.
From andybale1976 Sep 10, 2010Regarding the Jungle Mania records, a couple of years back I won an EBay auction for all of the JM releases from Mark Ryder himself. I spoke to him on the phone and arranged to pick up the records from his then house in Collier Row, Essex. Spent about an hour there talking about all things Jungle and thought I would take opportunity to ask about the missing JM's. He checked his data base and said it looked like that they were never pressed, however, just to make sure........we went to a shed in at the bottom of his (huge) garden and in the shed he had around 150 mint copies of EACH AND EVERY Jungle Mania release! and 4, 8 and 11 were not there. He told me everything that he had ever got pressed was in there so it was pretty safe to say they never came out. The mad thing that day was that he was just about to sell up and move abroard and he was in the process (and I saw him in action!)of throwing away all of his 'stock' kept at his house, this included all the Jungle Mania records, Viscious Pumping Plastic records (he had about 50 copies of the Ecology EP!) all the STU compalations and singles (including about 100 copies of PUNKS!), all the original metal master pressing, every single one of them was going (and went) in the skip! Some people may think he is mad but he was so comitted to the music he would rather they were destroyed than get into the hand of someone who would make some money out of them! You will remember a little while back there was an influx of all the JM for sale? I think someone may have found the skip they were all hiding in! By the way, Mark Ryder was probably one of the nicest guys I have met!! He defiently loves the music!! |
