No wonder this place is going to the dogs.

Haha.

Actually I have a SUAD question: is Reclaim The Streets worth getting?

man i remember stevem posted their entire lp on his site like 3 years ago. it was 128kbps off a worn-out cassette, i think, but still. i had it on an old computer, now long gone. the original "green man" was monumental; i've never been able to find it again. the rum & black mix is easy enough to find but it's not as good.

Shut Up & Dance 'Death Is Not The End' - C/D

someone sent me a CD copy soon after that! you can buy mp3s (inc propah version of 'The Green Man') straight from their (still charmingly rubbish) website but they're still only 128kbps!

i was looking for the version of 'The Art Of Moving Butts' with the cheesy vocal recently but to no avail.

i found the Cohn-sampling original of 'Raving I'm Raving' just by googling it too.

I recommend unreservedly the label comp (which the act themselves are obviously all over) called the First 20 Singles - it's one of my 3 or 5 favourite VA compilations of all time.

martin is the comp you've got the same as fuck off & die? picked it up for nothing last year - once managed to get away with playing the entire thing at a party.

Yeah, that looks the same - it's magnificent.

Agree with all the blurb there - glad they haven't tried to pretend that their nu-skool breaks-aping stuff is up to snuff, £11 for two largely ace CDs and a not very good CD is still a steal

the new material on that set is SHITE lol

too much for me anyway, should have been a 1 cd set

worth it for nicolette alone

titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 13:01 (fifteen years ago)

but then i think half of that old hardcore stuff has aged quite poorly

and the less said about the old uk hip hop tracks the better

titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 13:02 (fifteen years ago)

I thought they were pretty good for the time! I mean not gamechanging but they must have been the first UK producers to bite The Bomb Squad which is at least... interesting

The Execution Of Garu G (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 13:10 (fifteen years ago)

not gamechanging? no Jungle without them

mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 13:14 (fifteen years ago)

gamechanging deffo

but im just saying im not sure all those tracks have held up all that well

some good ones on there, still, of course

titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 13:24 (fifteen years ago)

"Cream" is pretty good.

dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 13:53 (fifteen years ago)

not gamechanging?

The hip-hop tracks, I meant - although there's an obvious bleed into their hardcore era (which was deffo v important to a big strain of music) so maybe you could make a continuum argument for those too - dunno if many ppl would say they were seminal to even UKHH however

The Execution Of Garu G (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 14:45 (fifteen years ago)

those american accents though - not needed

titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 14:46 (fifteen years ago)

american accent? where? the production on some of their hip-hop is as good as any UK stuff from the time e.g. 'Runaways' in spite of the poor lines and delivery.

mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 14:54 (fifteen years ago)

sounded like american-ish accents to me on some of those early hip hop tracks (dont have it here to cite particular ones tho...)

titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 14:57 (fifteen years ago)

disclaimer - apart from a few london posse and demon boyz tracks, im not too into ukhh from around that time.
