I went to see dj Pierre in London when he was pioneering the wildpitch
sound.. I asked him if he was going to be doing anymore acid and he said
no..cos he wanted to concentrate on the wildpitch thing....
He had just released 'rise from your grave'...

Fantasy girl was in 87.  Are u saying it was wildpitch sound in between
then cos if it was.  I missed it.....

I have to correct something that was mentioned here real fast :)

Legend has it that Flex got his production start by sitting in and
contributing keyboard on Pierre's Fantasy Girl project
http://www.discogs.com/release/132582 in the late 80's.

Within a year of that The Wild Pitch sound was alive and kicking,
Clashbackk
dropped circa 96'.  The Wild Pitch sound was brought to a broader
audience
by labels such as Strictly Rhythm around the time Clashbackk was
started,
but unfortuntely the sound was dying off when projects such as Rise From
Your Grave hit.  Kind of singled the beginning of the end :(

We used to go crazy to Wild Pitch records in the late 80's/early 90's,
that
sound has always been one of my favorites, I'd love to see a resergence
in
it.  Does anyone know if there are any recent tracks in that vain
floating
around that are worth grabbing?

Cheers
