"RS 364C" I think samples the bassline from Barbara Mason "Another Man".

Apparently there were 2 French versions, each with different back cover designs. |

Etchings reference the Amsterdam plane crash from flight "El Al Flight 1862".
|
|
I think the release you reference is a white label version of https://www.discogs.com/release/194176-Various-Fix-Flash-Nightvision-Album-Sampler

LA Factory samples Herbie Hancock's "Hang Up Your Hang Ups".
|
|
There are hints of Model 500's "The Chase". I wonder if it's coincidence or by design?
|
|
A lot of reviews for the repress or reissue comment on how the pressing is quiet. I just picked up an original 1988 US copy. It's also very quiet. So I think the low volume complaints apply to all LP copies of this album. That said, it's still a great album.

"3 Play It Cool" samples "T Plays It Cool" by Marvin Gaye.

May or may not be a sample. "Midnight Groove" has a similar synth melody as Nami Shimada's "Sun Shower".
|
|
"The Sweetest Thing" samples Herbie Hancock's "The Maze"
"Solaris" samples MFSB's "Love is the Message" "I Don't Know" samples Joe Henderson's "Blue Bossa" |

On June 28, 1990, Officer Martin was off duty and in his home located at 3228 North Wilton Avenue when his neighbor, Roberto Pizzaro, had an altercation with a known thief. Pizzaro confronted Lionel Myles, age 32, for tampering with his vehicle and...

Liquid Insects appears to sample a small guitar snippet from Herbie Hancock's "Hang Up Your Hang Ups".
|
|
I'm shocked this single doesn't have a single review. "This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)" is maybe the perfect pop single; listen to that bass, Motown beats, vocals, and of course those strings! Does it really get any better than this?
|
|
This was Ron Morelli. . . . . . .
|
|
These releases (at least 1-4 and the 2 promos - but probably 5 as well) are all by L.I.E.S.
|
|
|
About 160 copies . . . . . . .
|
|
I think this track was inspired by or even samples Interfront's "Strange".
|
|
Is that a Funkytown sample in "In the Beginning..." ?
|
|
There was talk this was a Mr. C bootleg actually from the UK. https://www.discogs.com/group/thread/450232
|
|
I don't have this exact copy, but I think it's actually Walter's Disco Madness mix which wasn't on the original Ten Per Cent 12" but on a separate Salsoul LP called "Disco Madness".
|
|
The keyboard melody and sound on "Celestial Symphony" is similar to that from Caustic Window (a.k.a. Aphex Twin) "Cordialatron" released one year earlier.
|
|
I always assumed it was Marshall Jefferson himself . .
|
|
ED209 "Acid To Ecstasy" seems to take snippets (or is heavily influenced by) Ministry "Everyday (Is Halloween)" and Electribe 101 "Talking With Myself".
|
|
He was the owner of Minimal Records. Maybe the folks at Stealth Records thought that would be a good a selling point for a record.
|
|
|
|
Heads also uses the riff from The Police "Voices Inside My Head".
|
|
The synthesizer strings in Coda Coma seem to be based on those from Al-Naafiysh (The Soul) by Hashim.
|
|
Not mentioned in the notes, but there is also a small passage in The Real Life that samples "Key West" by Kasso.
|
|
Not sure if this is the exact list, but there is a list at https://www.legendsofvinyl.com/hall-of-fame-pioneers.

The break on the Underworld mix epitomizes 90s electronic music: 909 kicking, synths stuttering, keys arpeggiating, guitars playing, and vocals blending seamlessly into the sound. Sure it's only a few seconds, but that sort of summarizes that short...

The Prelude to Paradise mix heavily samples Visual's "The Music Got Me" on Prelude Records.
|
|
B2 seems to sample "Expansions" by Lonnie Liston Smith .
|
|
Bassline is based on the bassline from Jungle Wonz "The Jungle"
|
|
|
|
Why hasn't anyone mentioned B1? That's as groovy a minimal jam as A1.
|
|
Try it at 33 RPM and it sounds like an afterhours jam a la Ozo "Anambra"
|
|
Even though John Robie is credited with the remix on the B side. I believe the B side track is the same as the original from the 2x45 album.
|
|
The longer version has a very gradual fade at the end where the music plays but at a low volume. The shorter version cuts off those last few seconds.
|
|
|
|
Most obvious sample to me is the Giorgio Moroder "Chase" beat/bass.
|
|
Referring to A1: Gwen Guthrie "Seventh Heaven" and First Choice "Let No Man Put Asunder"
|
|
Supposedly the impetus for this record was Arthur Russell hearing Nicky Siano spin Vicki Sue Robinson's "Turn the Beat Around" one night. They loved the record and Arthur mentioned they could make a disco track like that. A few grand later this is...

Yes exactly. Both sides have the instrumental (B Side) runout etching. Very easy to know which version you have if you check the runout groove.
|
|
|
No idea if it was intentional or not (as I don't think they've ever mentioned it): the bassline is nearly identical to the bassline from "There's Fire Down Below" by Fantastic Four which comes in about halfway into the song.
|
|
Mine seems to be the same - B side has vocals.
|
|
The bassline is Cheryl Lynn though the guitar seems to be original (too bad there was no instrumental as that's the best part!).
