Just some additional info on the posts made. FSOL's took the Stakker theme from one of their previous projects, AST (see Asus Flow). There's an old compilation out there of all their various guises, such as Yage, Mental Cube, Stakker... basically everything key that they did on Earthbeat.
As for A Guy Called Gerald, he did a response to what happened to him when he left/was pushed from 808 State, called "Specific Hate", in which he uses samples of the phone message (apparently, he was kicked from 808 State over the phone), and he whistles the tune from Pacific State all the way through. Not sure of the label, but I remember it had a Club as the label logo (as in Hearts, Spades, Diamonds). Voodoo Ray got hammered, but the promo of it had a great track "Blow Your House Down" on the flip-side, which was later hashed into a more thumping version on the Chicago Symphony EP (red vinyl bootleg-type affair). As for LFO? Frequencies is probably one of the finest albums of the 90's. LFO's "LFO" had a bit of a rough ride though, as Steve Wright ((ex-)BBC Radio One "deejaaaaay") claimed at the time that it was the worst record he had ever heard, but was under strict instructions to play the track, as it had been placed on the "B"-list for airing. John Peel still gave them alot of praise tho at the time, and rightly so. Mark Bell's gone on to do production work for Bjork's "Homogenic" and for Depeche Mode too. Varley's been doing work under G-Man and "presents Tony Montana", but the work is a bit further away from LFO's roots than Varley's production work. "Track 4" from the "LFO (Leeds Warehouse)" 12" is still a most glorious example of how to put together atmospherics, bleep and base. Sweet Exorcist's "Test One", that can be traced far further back... half of Sweet Exorcist is Cabarat Voltaire's Richard H. Kirk. The Cabs "Body & Soul" LP is probably one of the most underestimated LP's within the early stream of techno that was coing from the UK in the early 90's. The similarities between some of the work that Mills did with Waveform Transmissions Vol.1 and X-102 are scarey-close. And finally... Orbital. If you get chance to dig around, pick up the two Mutations EP's... the reworking of Chime is fantastic. > -----Original Message----- > From: techno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 13 December 2002 13:43 > To: Brendan Nelson; 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: Re: (313) 808 State > > > UR was influinced by skizzo. > > on 12/13/02 8:05 AM, Brendan Nelson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > In which case I'll put my foot right in it and say that "Pacific" > > influenced UR's "The Theory"... unless "The Theory" predates "Pacific", > > which I don't actually think it does! > > > > Brendan >
