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...

The remix messes with the perfection of the riff but convolutes it interestingly

Apologies if this has already been posted - heavy mental Dutchkore

another great example

A short term measure to get round the program that rations my internet use (I was in mid-comment when it cut out). I am writing a book - it's kind of the sequel to Rip It Up and Start Again. But only kind of. Late 80s / early 90s.

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

however the ones i'm thinking of have more a musky sexy sort of vibe

here's a bit of a more melodic feature, but clearly a loop or sequenced pattern

from about 38 seconds in, synth horn as sort of parping rhythm vamp

What a great sound They are all done with synths, right? So much better than if they were real horns. (I know there are a few examples of real saxophone on UKG classics and sometimes it's fine - e.g. the solo in "Stone Cold") Now is this a uniquely UKG thing? I can't recall examples of it in...

The column is worth reading: PETER HITCHENS: God forgive me, I was one of the millions of young men who wanted to be Bob Dylan. Here's what the new film DOESN'T tell you Millions of young men once wanted to be Bob Dylan. God forgive me, I was one of them. Lots of them are dead now, and almost...

Line that leapt out of that Hitchens-recants-former-Dylan-idolisation piece: ".. One of the pirate stations which hypnotised an entire British generation and, in my view, changed the world for the worse" Of course he's not talking about Don FM and Kool and Rinse and Mack.... he means the ones...

Yes I did. Took me over a year! The second is almost as good as the first but it's getting into over-ripeness, stylistically. His incredibly intensely visual detailed descriptions have an odd effect - such that a fight scene that would take a minute reality and be action-packed, is to...

There's a whole book about this in connection with Westerns (and other movie genres based around men of few words whose few words are generally of the tough-talking type) Carducci (otherwise renowned for working at SST, with Black Flag etc whose aesthetic he characterized as "new redneck")...

Don't think me unkind Words are hard to find They're only cheques I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind And when their eloquence escapes me Their logic ties me up and rapes me De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da Their innocence will...
