Round Three Feat. Tikiman - Acting Crazy

Maurizio in dubby-as-fuck mode here, this features Tikiman on vocals. It's got all those Basic Channel noises, genuine 'dub house' for anyone who dares to question that such a sub-genre exists. Someone on Discogs reckons that if you mix this into Laurent Garnier's Acid Eiffel you're onto a 'special moment'. I've yet to take the plunge but lemme know if you try it.

Only the one post today as I'm off to get Ripped In Brighton for a long weekend, and need to get my shit together tonight. Typically the one weekend where everything seems to be happening up here: The Horrors, Patrick Wolf, Truffle Club at Club For Heroes, The Wee Chill and hunners of other stuff which I've forgotten about. Ah well, it's a special occasion.
C U Next Tuesday...

Young American Primitive - These Waves

Another response to a request from RiG regular Tommy, here's what he says about this one:

"I had a look through my CDs and the YAP CD....I think I have sold it. Seem to remember there were only 1 or 2 tracks I really liked on it anyway. I ripped it at some point and then when space became an issue on the hard drive (this was in the days when a 30GB hard drive was considered massive) I culled the album to only what I liked from it. The stand out track was always These Waves...duly posted on 4shared."

Cheers for these Tommy, it's always handy when there's another cunt to help you out with any missing tunes...

One Dove - Why Don't You Take Me (Underworld Up 2 Down Remix)

A couple of responses to earlier requests today, but I'm afraid no Bandulu or Robert Hood's Minimal Nation just yet. Be patient - my records are in no order at all and aren't stored in my flat due to space restrictions. Today's pair come courtesy of regular contributor to the comments, Tommy from 'down under'.

Here's what he says about this wee gem:

"a thunderous remix by Underworld of Glasgae's finest One Dove, as produced by Audrey Witherspoon. That's 3 legends for the price of 1 tune, fantastic value. Not sure if it ever had a full release."

I'm sure it got a limited release, but here you go, the modern day equivalent of getting a tape of it off yer mate...

Various - Touché Compilation 2 (first record only)

Found this just there but I've only got one of the three records that make up the compilation. It's too good not to put up, I remember seeing it in a bargain bucket for £1 so it was a no-brainer.

The last couple of Dobre & Jamez tracks I've put up seem to have gone down quite well, so here are three more. Side A is the pair of them together, and Side B is each of them individually. All three tracks have got their signature 'clean-as-fuck' production that we know and love...



A - Tata Box Inhibitors - Protein
B1 - R Factors - Vis-À-Vis (Dobre)
B2 - Loophole - Mind Escapes (Jamez)

Glenn Underground - GU Essentials

A bit of late-night house here, courtesy of Mr Underground. Not his real name, but 'Colin Underground' just wasn't cutting it back in the day...

These are 4 top quality tunes that live up to the 'Essentials' billing, it's hard to pick out a favourite. There's a few more GU bits'n'bobs kicking around here so keep an eye out if you're into it...

M.S.B. - Most Significant Beat

Dunno if I've put up any Italian records yet, but here's a starter for 10 anyway. Coming out on the Nature label, which I mistakenly used to think was an offshoot of Fatcat for some reason. According to Discogs, it's "an Italian label devoted to neo-electro and IDM sounds."

I hate the term 'IDM' but I guess that's what some folk would call this. It's fairly lo-fi, a bit 'Conemelt minus the humorous titles' if you like. Track B1 is the killer here - noisy, dirty 4/4 with great noises over the top. B2's a breakbeat with equally fab noises. The A-side's a bit too chin-stroking for my liking but see what you think...



M.S.B. - Most Significant Beat
A1 - Heart Thinks Wide
A2 - A Flux To Follow
B1 - Rio Blank
B2 - Solo Numerico

Disciples Ov Gaia - The Key

A Psychick Warriors side-project from Tim Freeman, this is appeared on KK offshoot Zazaboem Records. It's an organ-led wee number, quite chilled out for a bank holiday Monday...

Can't remember when this was from, but I had a phase in about 94 where anything that used 'thee' and 'ov' rather than 'the' and 'of' got bought. Talking of which, got my tickets to go and see the mighty Throbbing Gristle at the Tramway in Glasgow - go check it out...

Andrew Weatherall - A Couple Of 'Vintage' Radio Shows

Woke up this morning and clicked onto the Primal Scream forum, Webadelica, only to find a link to this blog which featured a couple of radio shows hosted by Mr Weatherall from 1994 and 1996. I've just put on the 1994 one and cannae wait to hear what's in store, does anyone remember hearing old clips of John Peel on the radio and he sounded totally different? Well here's a very young sounding Mr Weatherall...

A big thanks to testpressing.org for digging these ones out. Something for Mr Castles In Space to listen to on the way to work. He's no longer dolescum. Enjoy...

Orbital - Lush 3 (PWOG / CJ Bolland Remixes)

I know I said in a previous post that I never had much time for Orbital, but I still managed to buy a few records back in 92/93. The main reason for buying this one was the PWOG remix. I'd actually forgotten about it until a shelf fell down in the hall just there (I didn't bump into it, honest), and about 100 records spilled down onto the floor. After I eventually found a screwdriver and managed to sort it, I noticed the two Lush 12"s as I put the records back. "Wonder what that PWOG remix sounds like these days?" I thought, so here you go. It's sounding, er, lush... a nice companion to the tracks below.

If anyone wants the other 12" (2x Orbital mixes & Underworld) leave a comment and I'll get it up at some point...

Various - Feelings Not Frequencies

Someone asked about more tracks by Projective Vision a while back, and I said that they'd only released two 12"s. I'd forgotten about the tracks on this compilation of Holistic stuff - one of the few CDs that surived my clearout.

Track 1 is exclusive to the CD, track 3 is the B-side to Close Encounter, and track 5 is the slightly renamed B-side of the mighty Apocalypse. I've previously posted a track from Titanic as well, so this is a nice wee collection of the criminally under-rated Holistic label...



Various - Feelings Not Frequencies
1 - Projective Vision - Dreams of the Impossible
2 - Thunderhead - Medevil
3 - Projective Vision - Equilibrium
4 - Titanic - Spaced Out Cow
5 - Projective Vision - Khange
6 - Titanic - On My Case
