RE: (313) 808 State (and A Guy Called Gerald, FSOL, LFO, Sweet Exorcist Orbital)
beside orbital, 808state, and lfo at that time i used to be really into the shamen (their en-tact album) as well! am i the only one?? :) that green orbital album, the first lfo album, and ninety and ex:el they all took me into more 'serious'/listening techno .. i'm feeling really old, as i realize it's already over ten years ago At 13-12-2002 + 14:56, you wrote: Just some additional info on the posts made.

LFO's LFO had a bit of a rough ride though, as Steve Wright ((ex-)BBC Radio One deejay) 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.

RE: (313) 808 State (and A Guy Called Gerald, FSOL, LFO, Sweet Exorcist Orbital)
I think Voodoo Rage was the name of the EP that Specific Hate came out on, but memory doesn't serve me too well these days. f it wasn't, it shows one thing... Gerald wasn't happy. :) Yeah, I think I got me Varley's and Bell's mixed up.

RE: (313) 808 State (and A Guy Called Gerald, FSOL, LFO, Sweet Exorcist Orbital)
If I remember correctly, wasn't Voodoo Ray originally Voodoo Rage, another response to the 808 State situation? Voodoo Rage was a jungle/DNB remix of Voodoo Ray down on the Black Secret Technology album. Great album as far as that genre is concerned, in my opinion.
RE: (313) 808 State (and A Guy Called Gerald, FSOL, LFO, Sweet Exorcist Orbital)
If you get chance, try and look for AST (Art Science Technology) - Asus Flow. It came out before Stakker was released on Westside (I think). There are quite a few remix 12's of Humanoid tho.. the Plump DJ's mix that's used in Wipeout Fusion is a real tasty affair. I'm still trying to hunt down a copy of the video they did shortly after... If you see something called Stakker Eurotechno or something like that, grab it and hold tight. It later got used by Pot Noodle over in the UK. -Original Message- From: Sakari Karipuro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 December 2002 15:09 To: Craig Harrison Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: RE: (313) 808 State (and A Guy Called Gerald, FSOL, LFO, Sweet Exorcist Orbital) umm, Humanoid was Brian Dougans solo project.
