There was a series of albums out on the Subway label called "New Beat -
Take x" with x being an integer from 1 to 5.
From memory the genre was started by someone slowing down a track by the
industrial band A Split Second. To my mind it was basically slow euro
disco. Although there was a multitude of bands when you look at the
credits it was really only a handful of producers. Inger, Khan and Van
Oekel and Morton, Sherman seem to be the most prolific teams.
It is quite funny to see how many of the producers reappeared years later
with the hardcore techno scene. If only they'd moved the pitch
controller the other way.
Interestingly, the producer of a track "Total Recall" by the band
Spectrum is listed as David Morley. Can anyone confirm that this is the
David Morley who recorded for R&S? A skeleton in the closet perhaps.
