Wayne Gardiner - Project 27

This is a Peacefrog EP from 1998, from someone I know very little about. It reminds me very much of the Glenn Underground stuff I've been putting up, and features a remix from Dan Curtin, as well as a 'cover' of sampled-to-fuck disco classic Spank, by Jimmy "Bo" Horne.

If Dan's reading this, hope you don't mind this upload but I've avoided your stuff ever since the email and this is only a remix of someone else's tune. Lemme know if you want this one taken down as well, no probs.

It's quite a quiet pressing (unusual for Peacefrog), so I've bumped the levels up and it seems to sound OK.

Track A1 is very GU, for the folk who have been digging those posts, but I go straight for the Curtin remix on A2, it's a but more up my avenue. It's got a mad distorted organ sound that takes over at some points which I fuckin love. It's that kinda snowball trippy, which was all but a distant memory back in 1998 *gets all wistful*...

The 'cover' on B1's a bit muffled at the start (going for that 'old skool' sound?) and only slightly recognisable, but I guess that's the nature of the beast.

B2? Well I dunno what happened to Pt 1 but Pt 2's a very nice melodic housey number that's well worth a punt. Go check it oot.

1998? that's nearly as close as you get before it all finishes (ie circa internet time). Tomorrow we'll go back, Back, BACK...

Purveyors Of Fine Funk - Space Is The Place

"This is a track that'll make you jack" - so went the riff on track A2, which I played to fucking death.

An excellent EP from Dan Curtin and some Japanese dude called Tatsuro Hayashi. Didn't know who he was so just googled him, and the first page gives a Facebook link (as well as his Discogs link). Surely there can't be that many of them. Clicked on the Facebook one and the cunt now works for Microsoft. NO!!! Dan Curtin is still knocking 'em out, prolific as hell, while he is spunking his soul to the enemy. Oh well, as long as he enjoys it...

This is quite minimal for Dan Curtin, each track really works on its own. My tips are A2 & B2. Another great Peacefrog EP, and a nice purple sleeve to boot! Go check it out:



A1 - Space Is The Place
A2 - This Is A Track
B1 - They Are Among Us
B2 - Intombe

*EDIT* - links now removed

Today I got a very nice myspace message from Dan Curtin:

hi,

Thanks for the kind words in your blog about my PFF project and release. Can you please remove those links in your blog?
I'd appreciate it since we are right now planing the vinyl re release of this project, and until now nobody has ripped the vinyl and we'd like to keep it that way!
Once you rip it and put it in a blog its all over, it just gets everywhere, especially on the Russian mp3 sites!!!


Thanks
Dan

So, I replied with:

Hi Dan

Sure thing! That's the link down now. When I get home from work I'll C&P your message in by way of explanation if that's OK...?

Keep up the sterling work.

He then replied:

Thanks very much for your cooperation!
and...you have the best myspace avatar ever!

sure, you can use my text as an explanation :-)

take care
Dan
PS.

you mentioned my old partner Tatsuro Hayashi in your blog, I checked it because I have completely lost touch with him and sadly that is not the correct Tatsuro...actually, Tatsuro Hayashi is about as unique as John Smith!

What a nice man! If you downloaded the rip, please keep it to yourself...
