Baby Ford! Dan and I can't be the only fans

this stuff is so killer.

Haha, I was thinking about that review when I was posting the question! I remember you quoting that great weird psychedelic rant in the liner notes.

Ford DJed at this near-empty warehouse party in Melbourne a few years ago as part of the Rephlex tour. I thanked him for whole of 1988.

Fetish and the Ifach gear is pretty good too but he kind of tapers off beyond that. I always thought Children of the Revolution was pretty lame.

The Force Inc cd is "Basking In The Brakelights" http://www.discogs.com/release/204573

That is weird that he didn't get European distribution on that the first time around.

i have a bunch of killer baby ford stuff but i'm reluctant to talk about it. baby ford can be a dj's fave (semi-)SECRET, after all.

anyway,some of it is really nice,particularly the track with the piano loop (track 10 i think)
the first three tracks are also good,cant remember much of the rest to be honest...

bbbbump and

bbbbbump and grind

my fave Baby Ford trax are "Wigan" (which would include the spoken interlude) and "20 Park Drive"...and "Disconoddy"!...and "Blow Back"!...my, but the hits just keep on comin'!

Baby Ford was in heavy rotation on the old Alan Oldham radio show in Detroit...very popular with the techno guys, by all accounts...

ohh la la...disco me to ecstasy...

man the headphoneasyrider haters upthread are crazy. this has way more bounce than sahko.

this is great!

yeah - i suspect i need to listen to it again.
weirdly i was thinking this only yesterday as for last 2 days i haven't listened to anything by Richard H Kirk, and Dust Science releases, and the headphoneeasyrider album will probably totally fit in with that lot now.

dumbassme : meant to say '.. haven't listened to anything else but..'

if i was listening to this in 2004 i probably would have thought it was boring too. i'm in love. maybe not much point unless it's on loud over a decent stereo though.

maybe not much point unless it's on loud over a decent stereo though.

or on headphones. i am so off to the archive to dig this out now.
despite not having had any desire to listen to this in years, i know EXACTLY where it is, and thats saying something ..

i dunno, i don't find headphones work at all for this type of music (despite the title). maybe just me but i prefer my techno bouncing around the room.

i mentioned on another thread about finding his "children of the revolution" cover and being nauseated at the sleeve art, lot's of disgusting cyber-goth fonts and for some unknown reason a big goldfish poking out of the foreground. so tacky. and the tune is awful. but as a noob of course i love his later stuff. the recent soul capsule release on perlon is incredible, and "law of grace" is yoga flame for all time. also love the recent track he did with zip. haven't heard the ifach collective album on klang, can anyone recommend it?

i would love to find that ifach collective on cd.
if its the one that collects all the 12" singles together ? if so, then i once saw it and let it go.
i have a few ifach 12" and they still stand up as raw detroit styled techno. ie. they are glorious.

the ifach collective album on klang isn't a 12" collection nah, it's baby ford and people who record on ifach collaborating on a couple of 12"s and a double LP for Klang (all combined on the CD). it's good -- i'm preferring headphoneasy rider so few though. and basking in the breaklights. (nb i have the 2xlp but not the two 12"s that are also on there. so missing out on some of the best tracks in making my appraisal.)

*so far

and as far as soul capsule goes don't neglect their other 12"s on trelik! esp overcome. available on a p2p near you.

i think <a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/116418";>this</a> is what mark e wants (and <a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/121344";>this</a> looks cool too)

<a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/30969";>this</a> is what r1o natsume is asking about

ok well at least i make an effort

again:

i think this is what mark e wants (and this looks cool too)

this is what r1o natsume is asking about

resolved - yeah i do indeed want that IFACH cd.

ps resolved : dust science is easily in the same ball park these days, totally recommended.
the compilations are cheap - and prove that this type stuff is still worthy of interest. i have a cracking derailleur mix i can send your way if interested in hearing more ..

sure. i can hook up the ifach collection cd too.

will send over location .. (its a legit online mix - nothing illegal going on here!)

ok. dug out the headphoneasy rider album.
i was indeed wrong. it totally sounds right in 2007.
subsequently, i have tracked down that ifach vol 1 cd as well.
oh yes.
