Inky Blacknuss - Drumulator / Desolator

This was the second single by a Inky Blacknuss, who were Club 69 favourite Alex Knight, Andrew Parker and (I didn't realise this till just there) Ian Tregoning. I used to love it when Alex Knight played Club 69, it was the same kind of vibe as when the Holistic boys played - felt almost like a resident.

The A-side takes a while before the melody comes in, but it's a suitably dark piece of Sabrettes-style techno with ACE percussion (that'll be the drumulator then). The B-side is a sinister sounding beatless track for about half the record (with occasional drum busts) then it comes in with all sorts of backwards drum noises. It's a pretty fuckin desolate sounding track - good naming, Mr Knight! Would fit in nicely with this Corridor record if you're into that kinda thing...

Titanic - Ice Breaker

This was the first release on Holistic, when it was actually known as Abstract Recordings. You can hear the start of their sound beginning to develop (as previously uploaded here), but they're sticking to the more traditional 7 min track rather than the 15+ min of the two other tracks. A good Club 69 tune.

A great dark techno track that should ease away any painful memories of Russ Abbot...

Projective Vision - Close Encounter

The last 12" I put up by this lot seemed to go down pretty well, so here's its predecessor, also on Holistic Recordings from 1994. It's another beautifully produced piece of UK techno. I'd hate to use the word 'trance', but it does have that effect. A full 13 mins of pure class.

Projective Vision - Apocalypse

Fuck me I'd forgotten what a great tune this is. Released on the consistently good Holistic label in 1994, this pretty much sums up exactly what I was into at the time. A Rub-A-Dub @ Club 69 favourite from back in the day, and the guys from the label used to come up for head-to-head sets in the club, which is the basement of a curry house in Paisley. Mental. This record is actually dedicated to the Rub-A-Dub gang as well. Aww, bless.
