I also have a tape of the Plaid peel session from last night.
A short review of the tracks:
(this is my first review on idm so bear with me!)
1 - Scoobs in Columbia
Originally from 'mbuki mvuki', this got the remix treatment for the
session. Most of the original elements were still there: that wicked piano
loop and the same drum break; although the original samples sounded like
they had been made to sound alot more noisy than on the original vinyl?
Interspersed throughout these original elements were the some more recent
plaid-like sounds of the 'type' found on the new(ish) lp.
2 - Seph
This sounded pretty much like the original on 'Not For Threes'. The
overall sound was alot more raw: the reverbs didn't sound so lush as they
did on the original, all the synth sounds were more identify-able as well.
The overall impression was that the track had been stripped down
considerably - possibly because they were doing a 'live' version of it in
the studio?
3 - Boo Bouch (not sure about the spelling??)
Can't remember much about this one (i'm writing this from memory at
university) other than it was a new one on me. I remember feeling quite
pleased that i recorded it!
4 - Ol
Again a stripped down 'Not For Threes' track. This still featured the
original pseudo four on the four introduction but then kind of went of at
a tangent by introducing waves of squelchy acid squiggles. More
plaid-tronics were added as the track progressed.
Hope this was of some interest to the statesiders and the geezers that
missed the session in the UK.
