Reviews
- In an interview with Jay Cunning, Ant Miles said that they saw no money from this release from Karma Records.
I'm thinking out loud here and the comments are probably more rhetorical than literal questions. I'm wondering why there is an Executive Producer credited to Frankie Bones on the Brooklyn Groove Records version and not the Karma Records versions. Is that actually the case? Was he actually involved. Is the Brooklyn Groove Records version's production slightly differently to the Karma Records versions? Edited or arranged slightly perhaps? Or was that credit only included once it was re-released on the USA label for whatever legal, licensing reason maybe, anyone else might have more knowledge, insight can explain?
When I first acquired this it was the BGP release which is supposedly dated January 1991 on discogs. That date itself hasn't even been verified. If it is accurate which I may add I'm very skeptical about, then the logical conclusion would be that the Karma Records versions was out from 1990. I'm assuming the Brooklyn Groove Productions issue was licensed / re-released and the Karma Records pressings are the originals. It's not the other way around surely?
By the way, this is not New Beat as stated on the release page. Actual New Beat is never this fast with layers of breakbeats, and if it is, it isn't New Beat.
As another reviewer previously mentioned. Unfortunately, the pressing on the BGP issue is not the greatest. To me it sounds flat and muddy. It takes a good amount of EQ tweaking to get any separation between frequencies. And even then you might not end up with the desired (pun intended) effect.
As far as the music is concerned, you can just about hear the planted seed of this outfit's later productions. Circa 1991 and the first half of 1992. Whether that's on their Desired States releases or under Ant Miles' Tyranny project. Always lots going on, busy and layered and relatively melodic based with a hint of drama thrown in.- So andy c was 15 when he and shimon made this, its crasy ,
