Taking Viagra won't turn you into James Bond. But it will make you Roger more! Har! Har! Har! Har! Boom Tssssssh ! ☺
Not so obvious 1980s pirate radio classics mix. No piano tunes.

Please don't ask for digital audio. You'll be wasting your time. I don't have the enthusiasm, time or inclination for that kind of stuff.
Brown pickle and Ploughman's Lunch... What's that vile gunk abomination and all that utter waste of time and effort about !?
Who needs Soul when you can have Funk? Alternatively, who needs Soul when you have plenty of Spirit?
Basically remember when this place was still rocks and stones, long before there were even plants growing. Way before grass or trees had evolved! Browsed and opened a user account in 2001 but forgot my password, carried on browsing until early 2003 when I decided to open my other main account.
Musically (and culturally) stuck firmly in a 1980s early 90s Techno related time warp.
The original Electro sound is now over 40 years old from its original inception, yet it's the only style of music that has never let me down.
As the motto famously states: Electro is Aural Sex. No, not oral. Aural! Behave yourselves will you!!
The grumpy, cynical (realistic!) person's motto is one I can definitely relate to: Once Bitten. Twice Bitten (not a 'Bittern') !

Over a month too late, apologies for that, so this reply is probably academic. It's not a bad pressing overall.
I've compared it to the original 1992 release. It sounds like ''Indo - Shrink'' and ''Mental Cube - I'm Not Gonna Let You Do It'' sound... See full review |

Bassline / Riff of 'Remember' is practically 1st Bass on Separate Minds - We Need Somebody, replayed.

Oh no, apologies, seven years way too late. Thanks. I like all the mixes (the Dino B 1989 remix isn't too shabby either) but the Brooklyn Breakdown has the basic, stripped and correct ingredients to stay current. Yes, emotive and explosive Electro goodness !

The TB-303 arpeggio of State 808* - Newbuild - Flow Coma is craftily reused on 808 Nation.

July 1989 Biology. This is what this reminds me of. I loved dancing to this seriously funky, uplifting tune back then. With all my heart and lungs. Also, reminds me of the imprompto parties at Clapham Common all through that summer. That bassline....

The B side ''Dub Time'' is one heavy tune. The subsonic bassline is off the scale. The deepest of Breakbeat Bleep Techno with a heavy Dub influence. Proper experimental riff freestyling. Trip, immerse and groove. First appeared mid 1991 / Summer 1991....

Bad Boy Bill Mix is the best version. This was big on the pirate radio stations in and around London, but also at the warehouse parties. Cheeky rap, wicked Public Enemy samples (Chuck D and Flavor Flav) and funky bassline. But then gets even better...

Probably A Robbery was a big tune but to be perfectly honest, I've often felt it wasn't exactly inventive or one of Renegade Soundwave's warehouse highlights. More of a Segue or build up tune. A reel of outtakes or leftovers. It was always about Ozone...

As already mentioned, the rhythm is based on the well known Detroit record. I like this as much as that record though, so there! All the Detroit purists can go and cry, shout, scream, punch walls, dig pins into dolls and shout down wind tunnels...

The dub-wise sub bassline on ''Touch The Sky'' contains similarities to the breakdown with the ''You're accused of being in league with the devil'' excerpt on Wishdokta - Evil Surrounds Us. I wonder if there were any conscious influences going on at the time.
I've also... See full review |

Back in the day, producers didn't incorporate as much acid with bleep sounds. Even the early northern bleep Techno crews seldom used TB-303 (or anything related). The same could be said for the later Hardcore scene as a whole. With a few exceptions...

I love ''OK''. But Bassprobe is the one with all the variation and drops. Proper warehouse annihilator with reversed buddhist chants, loads of acid squelch, Success In Effect amen breaks, Pulverising TR-909 and delicious analogue synth work.
|
|
Although all of the tunes on this record consist of acid in some form, Statue Of Gold contains the most masterful and majestic of acid lines, in my humble opinion.

808° (Surface Temperature Mix)
Now we're talking. The acid on this is much more pronounced and is part of the lead rather than being background noise. And those TR-808 Electro beats, tasty. Sounds more like the classic mid 80s Detroit Electro (Juan... See full review |

Savage contains an acid-like bass stab pattern which kind of replays the ever recognisable Energy Flash Joey Beltram - Beltram Vol. 1 riff. It also contains a bleep melody which partially replays Fallout - The Morning After. Very unpopular opinion but it's the tune I prefer on this release,...

Main bass synth/chords of Phobia (Kickin' Mix) are reminiscent of Torsion on Hypp & Krimson - HYP-NO-TYZ 2. However, the Bass Kick Mix is the one which really kicks in my opinion. That deep, fluctuating warm bass is supreme. The other mixes are perhaps more versatile. But...

Is the TB-303 line Dark Black Ominous Clouds similar to F.U.2 (Re-Edit) F.U.S.E., Further Underground Sound Experiments* - Substance Abuse. I suppose if you listen to something hard and long enough (no, that's not meant to be some kind of tacky double entendre!), your imagination will find any similarity.

The Kid Unknown breakbeat which seems to appear on Bachbeat is quite a common break and I believe was sampled from a Hip Hop record anyway (the name escapes me), maybe even a UK Hip Hop tune at that. It appeared on quite a few tunes. Besides, the Warp...

Todd Terry remixed this record in 1989 which was quite an underground classic hit. And the acid was sampled on several other records. However, this Jazzy M version and original pressing captures the earlier true and essential UK acid house warehouse...

When I mentioned the word ''sample'' in my comment, I should've used the more accurate term ''sourced'' instead of sample. But is it actually a TB303, I was simply surmising really, I wasn't stating definite facts.

Only just noticed this reply now. Thanks for the insight. The thing is, I doubt the DJ on the pirate radio station I heard was playing it from a CD, we're talking about late 1991. Would pirate radio DJs be given pre-release / promo CDs at that time? I...

This should be entered as a mispress. To anyone thinking about purchasing this boxset and is adamant that they want Freestyle 909, think again. Because they've only gone and pressed Just Another 909 Beat in the position where...

I remember both these tunes played during the very early Acid House parties in 1988. By mid 1989 I don't think I'd ever heard them out again in a social setting, which is a crying shame. However, they were played enough by various DJs for me to...

Light Years and Dripping Dub are the ones for me. Light Years in particular. I remember hearing it from around late 1989, perhaps earlier, though admittedly my memory's becoming hazier. Proper deep dancefloor cut. For both the body and the mind. The...

The tunes on this record were massive in the UK when they first appeared, but in an understated way by those following this particular style more closely. Through the early to mid 1990s they always appeared in Techno sets. Both the Pete The Lodger...

31 years old if you count the first pressing White Label Promo from 1991, and 32 years old now in 2023. For me all these tunes are unique bangers.

You're right it does sample RSW. But both mixes use the same break as Renegade Soundwave Transworld Siren. It happens to be more prevalent on the Troys Bass Mix. You can hear the break on the Stinger Mix at the quieter sections as well. Both big tunes.
|
|
The Caviar Mix is the best and only version in my opinion. Should've been a much, much bigger classic.

Dreamscape 1 is basically the main backing chords over the two Live The Dream titles. Deep and lush. Slowed down or played at a fraction of their speed. Quite a few artists following this release sampled the synths from this, one or two on Rising High...

The Run's House beat still sounds crisp. The Funky Drummer mixed with the TR-808 bass kick and snare was very innovative for the time. It made me question if it was purely sampled or programmed from scratch on a drum machine. For a long time I was...

Dynamic would've been the best tune on the reissue release in my opinion.
As another user has already commented, the late 1991 original recording of this tune is much better than the reissue which came out a few years ago, in my opinion. Yes, the... See full review |

DUBHUNT you're 100% correct. Was out during late Autumn of 1990 and being pumped at all the warehouse parties in the UK. It sounds pure 1990 in style anyway. The original of Mr. Kirk's Nightmare was around from late summer 1990 and was played to...

That makes sense. Played on UK pirate radio, the DJ and warehouse party circuit weeks if not months prior to general release. Was getting quite a lot of exposure long before the end of 1990.

Yes. I also agree. Enormously underrated tunes. Original and remixes all up there. But the remixes take it to another level. I've always liked the deep droning acid and urgency on the original of Puma but this remix is rougher and darker.

To be honest, I'm surprised not many people have gone for this reissue. Admittedly, original copies do float about, so not mega rare. Yet in comparison, there are many well overblown, multiple pressed and obvious tunes out there which seem to receive...

I disagree with those who have written off this release. Yes, the first release is a behemoth of a classic and it is my personal favourite of the two without question, but this also has its place. For me, it's all about Resurgan and Masochist Trip....

Hi. I've been meaning to come back with an update. I tried the methods above pretty much after first purchasing. I did experiment a few times following on with varying degrees of success. Sometimes the skips changed positions slightly but generally...
