so using my fantastic detective skills (been watching the wire a lot lately) and my impressive knowledge of music, i've come up w/this

GRUBBLE

Lasagne For 10 - Chilly "For Your Love"
Size Doesn't Matter - "Whole Lotta Love" (sounds like tina turner)
Eat Them Jeans
Staying Noid - Richard Ace "Stayin' Alive" (??)
Backwards Is The Best Way Forward. Baby
Satchell On My Door Step - Roxy Music "The Main Thing"
Your Wistful Sigh
Love Ranger

KEY TO THE TRIPOD

Oxymoron - some weird mashup of "genius of love" and "fly like an eagle"
Poxymoron - Boys Town Gang "You're The One"
Tripod - Warp 9 "Nunk"
Le Cock Noir
Blow Me Slow - Hot RS "Slow Blow"
Noid Life - Spandau Ballet "Lifeline"
Nicoteen Five Sinners "Magic"
Una Bella Donna - Junior Byron "Woman"
Tent Pole
Bethlehem
I Got My Love (i NEED to know what this one is. it's killing me)
Sax & Violence - Leroy Hutson "Love The Feeling"
Going Greek - Demis Roussos "I Dig You"

Staying Noid - Richard Ace "Stayin' Alive" (??)

is this the same track sampled for jess & crabbe's "in your eer"? bassline sounds identical..

anybody know the original for "sheen" off the phantom slasher "puddle & spout" CD? sounds like something off CTI maybe??

dan & conrad never apologize for reverb & delay

seriously, criticizing idjut boys for their use of echo is in a way like criticizing hendrix's use of fuzz or zapp's use of talkbox

thanks to the recent horse meat disco comp, we now know "furry whiplash" is a re-edit of "disco jam" by eddie drennon

yay!

WTF?

they must mean "first LP of original exclusive productions"

because by my count they've released

noid long player
life: the shoeing you deserve
puddle & spout
gruble
key to the tripod
desire lines

and

more or less / the u-star daze

which admittedly is an early "greatest hits" comp and mix

― the late great, Thursday, 15 March 2012 22:48 (1 year ago) Permalink

so which would be the best place to start?

― boxedjoy, Friday, 16 March 2012 00:25 (1 year ago) Permalink

U-Star Daze.

― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 16 March 2012 02:22 (1 year ago) Permalink

i've got that one, it is..... jam after jam

“What we’ve tried to do is make an LP, four tracks a side on vinyl. You stick it on your stereo, have a cup of coffee and read the paper. When it’s finished you stick the other side on. So we’ve made an LP in the traditional way.”

wasn't too impressed with "One For Kenny" til that piano break came in, then it was pretty great. very much looking forward to drinking coffee and reading the paper to this.

meanderthals was my soundtrack for that on a lot of sunny weekend mornings last year

― the late great, Friday, 16 March 2012 16:00 (1 year ago) Permalink

my favorites is actually "life: the shoeing you deserve"

"more or less" is a 2cd comp w/ a mixed 2nd disc, that mixed 2nd disc was re-released in the US as "the u-star daze"

i would go with any of those, and then move on to puddle & spout, gruble, etc etc which tbf are basically i guess just elaborate re-edit comps

― the late great, Friday, 16 March 2012 16:01 (1 year ago) Permalink

second Meanderthals, sublime balearic dub bliss.

Since those early albums seem impossible to find at a reasonable price, I've got stuck into Press Play and Night Dubbin. Really enjoying the track selection on Press Play, but I feel like as a mix it kinda crashes with the cover of Word Up and doesn't really get itself back on track, like the section from there to the end should have been at the start to warm up instead. Night Dubbin is great though, I love the sense of dark queasiness hanging over it, and both mixes are so impressive with the way they eschew traditional beat-matching yet putting together transitions that seem to flow naturally.

oh awwwesome.

i am not really loving cellar door :-/

― max, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 16:10 (1 year ago) Permalink

is that a good label? i didn't get into the first smith & mudd album, it had that same-y mush-y vibe that a lot of rong releases seem to have.

― the late great, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 16:34 (1 year ago) Permalink

but maybe i'm just not listening close enough

wish they continued w/ their droid series

― the late great, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 16:35 (1 year ago) Permalink

c56 is pretty much my favorite label, but I'm horribly biased.
