paging Entirety of Hardcore 91-93.... could you report to the front desk ASAP please

Roland got something to say.... “Writing aloud is not expressive... it is carried not by dramatic inflections, subtle stresses, sympathetic accents, but by the grain of the voice, which is an erotic mixture of timbre and language, and can therefore also be, along with diction, the substance of...

is that the Cheryl Lyn "woo" from "Encore" in there? chopped off, truncated, turned into a nonhuman stab at 8 mins in, much sampled e.g.

technically the very end of '92 - December - but feels like a 93 anthem plus this gem, thrown away on the four-track

I was just gonna say "snot me!!!" and suggest it was Matt, on account of the (coughs) and (regains composure) - that was a thing he used to do on his blog - these sort of visualize-me-as-real-person-at-home - coughs, ducks, winces, blushes, scratches head, that kind of thing- almost like...

That's a great tune - he never did anything quite as immense, that I've heard anyway.

I have never bothered to look up 80 Aum, the label "The Spirit" came out on From Dordrecht, which sounds pretty hardcore, but then the pictures online look rather dainty and quaint - not Rotterdam Look at its family of sub-labels! 2 Phase Records, 666 (6), 90 Aum Records, Back To Basics...

Great example

However, denting my thesis somewhat, I realized that you can hear this kind of pseudo-sax in some Masters At Work, probably those same tracks that are so foundational for UK garage. So, okay, yes, as if often the case, the Americans start something - but the Brits take it further. The...

A few more examples Nu-Birth, "Anytime", from about 2 mins in The same thin parping riff pops up in Somore, "I Refuse (what you want) (industry standard club mix)" at about 4 minutes in But here's a use of fake horn that's completely different - at 1.46 in Doolally "Straight From the...

this one at about 32 seconds in is again using the horn sound as more of a bassline-like rhythm parp however from about 2.15 in the pseudo-horn gets more active and jazzy in a kind of robotic-fixated way
