I've wondered for a while about the similarity between Stacy Pullen - 8th
Wonder track on the True People compilation and Rhythim Is Rhythim - Icon.
Both came out around the same time (circa 1996) although I think Icon was
recorded 1991 (?)
Just similar compositions or were the guys sharing
They use similar pad sounds, but they are in different keys, and the chord
progressions are in slightly different.
And check this in youtube doubler. It's crazy the way they phase in and out
against each other. It sounds like a DJ who has two records almost synced,
who fixes the mix every few
and here's another youtube doubler that points out a potentially cool mashup

Cheers for that link, never come across that site before. Playing the
tracks side by side, they're not as similar as I had in my mind.

I wrote System 7 @ A-Wave. They said there is only one version of the
Mysterious Traveller CD. Although they didn't shed light on the
confusing version names, they did say that they mastered the track
from vinyl.

Did he actually do it? I little bird told me that Carl Craig wrote the
song but I took that with a grain of salt. I just never sounded like pure
Derrick May to me, but it sounded exactly like
Yes anybody with any info on the genesis of this one? I too put it in my all
time top tracks. I didn't know about this C2
connection thing (though obviously they were always collaborating.
Interestingly though when I was looking at Discogs about this
thing once this thread started although

The Virtual Sex version has shuffling percussion throughout, and is
8:52 long.

Does anyone else have the System 7 Mysterious Traveller comp. with
all of the Derrick May remixes? If so, is the version of Icon on
there really the Montage Mix? It sounds just like the version on my
Transmat Icon/Kao-tic Harmony 12-inch repress.
Thanks,
Jake
I'm not sure I've ever detected the difference between the normal mix of Icon
i.e. where it just says Icon and the mix where it
says Icon : Montage mix.
Are there 2 mixes or just the one? Anyone?

It sounds like the version on the Innovator double cd is the heavily
edited and shortened version of Icon (montage mix), whereas the
trnasmat Icon vinyl and System 7/Derrick May cd version sounds more
like a long jam (and much better, IMO).

The Montage Mix on Innovator has no beats, pretty much.
This one is the one I have: http://www.discogs.com/release/27136
Things are mislabeled on mine, so the other two versions may have
similar mistakes.

If someone would like to share the original Montage Mix from the
Virtual Sex compilation (which I'm guessing is where the original
version of it first appeared)--Soulseek comes to mind--than all of our
questions about this would be answered.

Apparently the System7/Derrick collab cd contains the long (Montage)
version for the first time on cd, but that would have to be apart from
the Buzz comp cd, right?

Yeah, I think they're wrong about that since Virtual Sex was
available on CD. I don't trust anything from the Transmat Innovator
comp. since it's all strange edits.
I think what probably happened is May put the Montage Mix instead of
the Original Mix on the Icon vinyl repress, but I don't
Hmmm... What does the original Transmat mix of it sound like then??
