GTO – Pure
GTO released some absolute belters, this being one. I’d put it in the same pigeonhole as Eon – UK rave music, but before the breakbeats had really kicked in – more like the Belgian post-New Beat sound. 1990 release on … Continue reading
Subhead – Pselphyorrialice
— The mighty Subhead: with what is in my opinion their best track, released on the Subemerge EP on Sativae in 1996. One thing occurs to me about 1996. I can remember at the time thinking it was bloody ages … Continue reading
System 01 – Drugs Work
. Bleepy doom techno from an album on Berlin’s Tresor label in 1994. Seems to be advocating a positive outcome from narcotic abuse. So why is it so scary sounding? Mixed messages. Did drugs work for Phil Mitchell? I don’t … Continue reading
Spectrum – Brasil (Remix)
Absolute belter of an R&S Record. The bit where the bassline drops after the rave stab breakdown is massive. I have it on the original vinyl of the 1991 Order To Dance compilation. There is something really special about the … Continue reading
Beaumont Hannant – Mind Colours
Ambient Saturday. Epic shimmering shoegazy business, old fashioned but very nice. Taken from 1993 album Texturology on GPR. Download: Beaumont Hannant – Mind Colours
Air Liquide – This Is Not A Mind Trip
This tune is firmly in the embarassing acid trance category, and would inspire me to do a big fish-little fish dad dance in the right circumstances. The bit where the 303 comes in is one of ‘those bits’. The lady’s … Continue reading
The Fall – Lost In Music
If you don’t know The Fall’s music, this one might surprise you, especially if you saw the Mark E Smith performance at Glastonbury I posted the other day. It’s a really well done psychedelic cover of the Nile Rodgers disco … Continue reading
Sperminator – No Women Allowed
This is a monster, this tune. The bit after the scream when it fully kicks in is massive. It was released on Rotterdam Records in 1992, just before gabba sped up to the point where no dad could possibly dance to … Continue reading
Eon – A Kind Of Living (Green Icing Mix)
Eon was responsible for some of UK dad techno’s most distinctive tunes, very much carving out his own path with film soundtrack sampling, big filthy beats and huge synth lines – absolute classics like Dune-sampling Spice and Fear: The Mindkiller, … Continue reading
69 – My Machines
Classic lo fi bleeps and samples from Techno Dad Carl Craig at the top of his game. The EP, 4 Jazz Funk Classics (a nod to Throbbing Gristle’s 20 Jazz Funk Greats?), was released on Craig’s own Planet E in … Continue reading
