Good link, cheers... Yeah, I've heard about those chocolate records. You can make yr own record out of anything...I know Smell & Qu*m used to have some they carved out of wood...obviously the noises weren't exactly musical, but an interesting idea!

Been skimming through the archives, partly looking for a gabba thread...maybe this is the only one?! I'd agree with the big-ups for Dr Macabre ("Poltergeist", "Dance Macabre" etc) & the 303 Nation/100% Acidiferous stuff... I always felt the UK operations that followed PCP were left out in the...

Just digging through the archive & came across this thread...I'm quite interested in these sort of anomalies. Different-sized records: you can pretty much have anything you want. Youtube has some footage of the White Stripes now very expensive doll's house-size ones from a few years back. I've...

I guess the aim here is to pull out some stuff close to UK Funky, but I'd have to concur that if yr after whats traditionally been termed 'tribal', Danny Tenaglia & the Tribal label: http://www.discogs.com/label/TRIBAL+America are pretty much synonymous with it...not much of a fan myself. If...

I think its only 80s Prince that is 'sacred' really...he's been very up & down in people's ratings since then. I was also scratching my head that anyone would think he was better in the 90s than the eighties, but I'm not totally averse to the nineties stuff to be honest. I guess some of the...

Think I've heard of them & would like to check them out, but I'll be honest & admit that I'm thinking of the techno guy...he makes this stuff he calls 'flashcore', where he substitutes fast-moving sounds for the beats, so that its firmly in an electronic dance style but completely impossible to...

In fact, just about everything by the Birthday Party sounds like he's getting something painful out of his throat...in a good way! :D

Obviously I'm gonna agree about Joe Smooth "Promised Land" being one of the must-haves...all-time classic... I think Global Communications was a good call too...theres some lovely stuff on that Tom Middleton Sound of the Cosmos triple CD that I'd very much term 'deep house'. I'll add to the...

Hard acid revivals Astral Social Club La Peste Zappa Right now: Manu Le Malin

What I could suffer of that documentary (terrible sound mix) was pretty entertaining - I love the stories about selling so many tapes to cars from 'the gate' that people thought they were selling dope!

The Jeff Mills thing came to my mind too. I don't have much to add here except that I think I remember one of the less well-known dance mags (Magic Feet?) in the mid-90s suggesting that Coldcut had done their mixes on a computer & then having to retract the statement after a terse response (for...

OK, don't know if this has been covered in a thread before, but... Why are some of the Anthill Mob records SO expensive on Discogs etc...I mean, like, sore thumb expensive! I've listened to some of it on Youtube & bought one of theirs cheap the other day & its cool & everything, but... I only...

Yeah, Tidy Trax has been at it forever & most of the people worth their salt seem to have been involved. You'd have to get pretty into it to sort the wheat from the chaff though. They get semi-props from me for rereleasing some Dyewitness & the fact that some of the most straightahead early...

I'm dead excited to see this one mentioned. Its been about number two on my ultimate wants list for aaagggees now. I must have heard it about three times on Peel, when it came out & then in the Peelennium. I even noted the address down at the time but it was one of those I never quite got round...

Now I'm not saying I don't personally like them, but has anyone mentioned 4 Hero?

I'm definitely into recommendations on tracks (I loved "Breach the Peace" etc), but I prefer the "dribbling" stuff :p I think acid for me is at its best when its going for the "Acid Tracks" chaotic psychedelia rather than the wiggling-slightly-building thing...

I picked this bouncy techno thing up recently: and the Ep I got it on namechecks Fab, Groove & Rage..in fact, the only one that listed on Discogs as doing so: http://www.discogs.com/search?type=all&q=fabio+grooverider+rage&btn=Search

Ha! If only I was so enterprising! I've ticked the £40 mark, but only cos I bought the James Brown "Star Time" 4CD box with my paper round Xmas money for £36 in about 1991! Bar that, never over £20, & I think that only once, for a white label bootleg EP thing, & that was a sorta record shop...

Thats a great selection & some informative writing. Some memories there from my nineties... Agreed with the intro about people outside of the dancehall scene generally loving everything up to the mid-80s dancehall & then not being able to deal with the ragga stuff. I've seen it very clearly...

I'm not sure I can add many tunes to the stacks already mentioned, but I did LOVE ragga jungle at the time. It was kinda as if it had been wanting to happen for ages...I remember Ragga Twins "Spliffhead" & some of the more breakbeaty tracks that ended up on the second Rebel MC album sticking out...
