this thread is an offshoot of the bleep 'n' bass thread, which then turned into a discussion of belgian hardcore . . . .
i had asked about this track w/ a sample that goes "we are taking every precaution" over a breakbeat, which jimbackhouse then identified as:
my compulsions then took over -- still not sure if jimbackhouse made the correct ID (no solace for the doubting thomas!) -- and i did some research, which eventually led to me to this site --
http://www.xs4all.nl/~halco1/mur/090800/more.html
seems that the person who made "precaution" also made "james brown is dead" -- and several other 1991 dutch hardcore tracks, none of which are familiar to me by name
but even more interesting (or disturbing), this person -- michiel van der kuy -- had been making dance music since 1983 and continues to do so to this day
i suspect that most of van der kuy's output has been really cheesy italo disco turned euro house turned euro trance . . . .
AND YET discogs (hardly an infallible authority, but nonetheless . . . ) assigns 5 out of 5 stars to much of van der kuy's 1988/89 output, released on his "made up records" label:
MUR 112 Sheila Stewart It's You (12")
MUR 1212 Sheila Stewart Tonight (12")
MUR 412 Rygar Star Tracks (12")
MUR 512 Claudia T Dance With Me (12")
MUR 612 Sauvage Do You Want Me? (12")
MUR 712 Various Made Up Megamix Vol 1 (12")
MUR 912 Claudia T Fatal Destination (12")
so my question to dissensus is this: does anybody know this body of work?
and if most of his work is, as i suspect, pretty crap -- then how to account for the moments of 1991 techno inspiration -- especially "precaution"?
again, i think we're outside both the genius paradigm and the scenius paradigm . . . .
can't be a genius is most of your stuff is crap & can't be scenius if you're a professional producer w/ a background in classical music

jimbackhouse said:it's called 'precaution' by exposure to little electronic noises; on stealth records. it's on the first 'reactivate' compilation too, and the first 3 or 4 volumes of that are as good a primer on bombastic belgian rave as you can get (just avoid the other 15+ volumes!)
