Member Since: Apr 01, 2007 Rank: 35 Average Vote Received: Entirely Incorrect (1.25, 8 votes) Rated 12 releases, average: 4.33 Location: London, UK Profile: Was a commited vinyl junkie in my youth, and bought loads of records from the late 80's boom of House & Rave through to the start of 2007. Now, having the responsibilities of having a family (and having bought an iPod) I am slowly selling off my record & CD collection - this covers loads of differing genres & styles, lots of promos, edits, remixes & rare releases... mainly dance stuff but pretty varied. Most of the titles listed as being in my collection are those which are for sale, if I listed the records I want to keep I'd be here all year. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, photos etc about any of my records & CDs listed for sale. However, please don't ask me to burn / copy discs or vinyl, or if I'll sell you items on cash on delivery... it ain't gonna happen! | |

Davy DMX - One For The Treble (Fresh) - 28-Oct-08 02:37 PM
One of the best Electro / early Hip Hop records ever made, it's deadly simple but as is with all strong records it's simplicity is the key. The first time I heard it was on the Electro 8 LP - when I was about 13 or 14... this and 'Hip Hop Be Bop', 'Itchiban Scratch' and 'Knights of the Turntable' etc got me into music. If you like 80's Electro you check other Davy DMX tracks out too...
Hardfloor - Hardtrance Acperience EP - 20-Sep-08 01:40 AM
I agree with these 2 reviews above, although I always found it really hard to mix Acperience 1 because after the long breakdown the BPM increase a little bit and I would always forget this... anyway, it was such a classic that people would be bouncing off the walls when it got played so there was no need to mix out quickly anyhow!
Definately a genre defining record and a classic to boot. I haven't heard it for some time but I'll dig it out again soon.
Burial - Untrue - 11-Aug-08 02:49 AM
This album is as important to the UK electronic music scene as those from Aphex Twin, Plaid, Black Dog, FSOL, Boards of Canada etc. No doubt it will be held in such esteem as Massive Attack's Blue Lines or Roni Size's New Forms as being one that defines a homegrown genre.
The haunting pads and synths compliment the vocals perfectly sounding like an MK / Todd Edwards hybrid battling with hoodies in a studio somewhere. Whether it's hype or not this is a great great album - I've listened to it once and it's already up there as being influential.
Whether Burial wins the Mercury prize is neither here nor there - on the one hand new exciting music such as this should be supported to every level so Burial should win the £75,000 or whatever it is... on the other hand... I selfishly don't want the masses to discover this gem.
Disregard my last comment... everyone who has more than an interest in electronic music should check this.
Go Find, The - 05-Aug-08 02:22 PM
A great signing for the on-point Morr label - if you like Seabear, Tarwater, Remote Viewer and even the likes of Black Kids and things like Buzzin Fly, City Centre Offices or the Smiths you'll like The Go Find. I bought 'The Stars On The Wall' and it's been on the stereo ever since I bought it, once I get enough money I will be checking all of this man's output... it's shockingly good.
Various - Old School Rave Sessions - 23-May-08 01:43 PM
A great budget priced comp of what has to be a pretty much surefire collection of great moments in rave history.
Both CDs are chock full of classics not just the first track on each disc and then filled of 13 non-descript tracks you've never heard of.
Highlights for me include: Soundclash, Energy Flash, Mentasm, Exorcist, Vamp etc etc
Both discs flow really well and being unmixed are perfect for reminiscing back to the good old days. As far as I can hear not many of the tracks have been edited even though there are 14 tracks on each disc.
