I didn't think Ten Records (subsidiary of Virgin) existed anymore (stopped in about '93 I think, but not sure).
http://www.a-wave.com/system7/pages/archive/albums/sy7alb.htm is the release that Oakenfold, May, Patterson, Youth, et al worked on. Never really got into System 7 tho... seemed like a more "hippy" version of The Orb, yet not quite as viable as Sunscreem. A bit like A Man Called Adam... critically acclaimed, but it dated way too fast. Not sure about how May got involved, but Oakenfold was dabbling in the On-U Sound (Adrian Sherwood, Gary Clail, etc) and dub side of things about that time, so it'd make sense that he hooked up with people like Hillage. All got a bit wierd if you ask me. :) As for Oakenfold and what he did before, have a listen to Happy Mondays - "Squirrel and G Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out)". Fantastic LP, but I still reckon "Bummed" was HM at their best... "P'n'T'n'B" seemed to be the result of Oakenfold and Osbourne's discovery that although a mixing desk has lots of knobs and sliders, they should only be used when needed. One thing I did stumble over tho which was slightly annoying while looking for the above was that MTV claims that Oakenfold inspired Primal Scream to reach new levels of success. I think that title firmly belongs to Weatherall and PS's "Screamadelica" (which also won the Mercury Music Award for 1992, and beat U2's "Achtung Baby"), which if anyone hasn't had chance to hear, it's well worth picking up. Anyway, I'm off-topic again. :) Dscaper ---------- Aeonflux Radio - http://www.aeonflux.co.uk "A man who know's what he knows, and knows what he doesn't know, is the sign of a man who knows." > -----Original Message----- > From: ryan burns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 30 November 2002 05:02 > To: 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: Re: (313) May's fresh production activities > > > > > > > > how in the world does paul oakenfold work with derrick may on a record? > whats the connection? how did they come together? > > ryan > > > > > "AN LP OF COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN STEVE HILLAGE AND ALEX > PATTERSON, PAUL > > > OAKENFOLD, YOUTH AND PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY DERRICK MAY.
