The albums in question are, in order of release,
The Album / The Cassette
Music Madness
In Full Effect
In addition, your attention is directed to the albums 'Come Into My Life' by
Joyce Sims, and 'The Lyrical King' by T La Rock, both produced by Curtis
Mantronik.
As regards getting hold of them, I'd suggest trying second-hand stores, or
else persuade someone else to part with theirs (don't look at me tho, cos I
ain't selling *grin*)
Not as obscure as you might think, judging by the number of times various
Mantronix tracks have been sampled.
I was gobsmacked when I heard the Mantronik re-mix of FSOL's 'We Have
Explosive'. Here's hoping there's more to come....
Alan.
