LP also gives some production credits to Carl Craig and I think Derrick May (who did a remix of FX for Gerald IIRC). Not too hard to find in the US as it was on Sire (!) there was Derrick May remix on Automanikk the single; b2 derrick may the force be with you mix. my copy is released on CBS uk. sakke -- - * time to jack * - http://www.arabuusimiehet.com/sakke/music.html
Re: (313) 808 State (and A Guy Called Gerald, trip city
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). Yeah the original ep was a four track affair. With 2 great acid tracks and blow your house down ..this was sampled for 33 1/3rd queen on nu groove Originally it was voodoo rage but the tape ran out or something... Other great gerald tracks... Let yourself go... Which was with 808 satet wikked acid tune... Rockin ricki on eel sessions.. And I got a white label called trip city which a tape was released along with a bok... I tihnk the trip city is bloody hard to get tho... 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 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. 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!

With 2 great acid tracks and blow your house down ..this was sampled for 33 1/3rd queen on nu groove Yes.. that Searchin track on the red vinyl chicago symphony bootleg has the version with the super EQ'd kick, right? and didn't SPecific Hate also appear on the FX 12 (with the mayday remix?) I have a couple copies at home, I find that record at 2nd hand stores everywhere. Also Gerald's Automannik (sp?) LP also gives some production credits to Carl Craig and I think Derrick May (who did a remix of FX for Gerald IIRC). Not too hard to find in the US as it was on Sire (!) Other great gerald tracks... Let yourself go... Which was with 808 satet wikked acid tune... Yes! this is the jam! I also really like the acidic stuff on Newbuild like flow coma etc... basically experiments in really early UK acid, not to be missed.
