OK, let's start again... This is the sorta thing I'm thinking of.... http://www.discogs.com/Sukora-Oeo/release/687124 (virtually silent bar a few rustly noises on each side) That terrible improv turntable orchestra thing (featuring really good people) that toured ten or so years ago. That...

I guess the early nineties thing was about when the major labels had worked out what digital reggae was all about & had started signing people like Shabba, so other people had a go as well. There was loads of 'combination' stuff that got in the charts at the time - Chaka Demus & Pliers, Red...

Nah, only just come across it & recorded here for posterity! You can kinda let her off a bit cos she's so young, but its pretty bizarre!

SAW 1 & 2 would also be very high on my list, the first one was a daily listen for ages when I got it 20 years ago.

Screw meets academia:

Yeah I saw that Ricky B comp on Discogs & listened to some of the other tunes as well. He is GREAT, by far my favourite tip-off from this thread so far, on repeat for much of the day - thanks so much!

ATB was also banging out the EDM anfems back in the day - not much has changed in some ways!

Yes, previously I'd thought they were simply goofy ex-noiser hippies who were quite good at unearthing slightly intriguing lo-fi house producers & imagining themselves back to late 80s raves.

And whilst we're on the early workz of the EDM masters, I think I'd rather Tiesto still sounded like this:

I was listening to Boy In Da Corner again this week & there are obviously some truly incredible tracks on it, especially "I Luv U" (always loved "Jezebel" as well). It still remains one I don't come back to in full very often though, I think just because it's quite a bleak listen & Dizzee's...

Back to burn!

Thanks for turning me onto the early work of the great man. I was previously unaware of this rad sleeve art:

Dunno if there's a thread for this already, but fired up by the press release hall of shame, I wondered about what people's favourite ever examples were of total out-&-out pretension in music itself. I'm no heathen, I used to be involved in running an avant-garde jazz club in Leeds, but...

Actually, one more. Not a music one but an example of how easy it is to translate badly into english. A beautiful, psychedelically mangled bit of Polish-to-English from the school I work at: "I saw the face of time listening to me".

My last addition for the moment is to go back to the bit about people's myspace write-ups. One female musician from up this way who is now sorta well-known did for a while have a very cringey myspace write-up where she innocently proclaimed that everyone said she was the talented one in the band...

This is from a free rave mag (Ravin Eye I think), a coupla years back. Brilliant summing up of what I'd always taken to be the consensus on the Doncaster-based rave, innocently dropped into what was meant to be a positive review: "...many people hold the belief that Dizstruxshon is skanky &...

I am a long-term fan...Here are some of the ultimate AmandaBombs for your delectation! "This was the year that dance was 'reinvented' in part thanks to me...and my imprint 100% Silk" "Every day I wake up & ask myself 'How can I be more like Bjork?'" "Lisa Stansfield was something of a genius".

This is the source of the all-time thread classic "When a song means a lot to you personally, having it remixed is a lot like sending your child to undergo plastic surgery. In this case, though, it was like having the operation performed by doctors you respect as musicians."...
