Another dreaded tr*p h*p comp, but with a heavy Wagon Christ influence.
To wit:
The Real Trip - Further Self-Evident Truths
Rising High USA 87004-2 (Distributed by Moonshine Music)
1. Wagon Christ - Reedin (ReDone)
2. Air Liquide - Stratus Static
3. RHC feat. Flava - Move Ya (Born Free Dub Mix II)
4. Bedouin Ascent - Off The Bone
5. Ride - Moonlight Medicine (Portishead's Ride On The Wire Mix)
6. RHC - Feel The Fire (Wagon Christ Electro Mix)
7. Project One - Cheeba '95, I Like To Smoke Marijuana
(Wagon Christ Me Too Remix)
8. Ruby - Paraffin (Wagon Christ Vocal Mix)
9. Black Dog - Pillars & Mirrors
I really liked the Air Liquide track, which surprised me. Didn't
recognize the Black Dog track, but it's their usual excellent stuff
(copyright on that track is from 1992), two ditties in one actually (a
9-minute song followed by a 3.5-minute one, both on the same track). My
other favorite would have to be the Ruby track, sublimely creamy.
I thought it was strange that tracks 6 and 7, inside the booklet, do not
have "Remixed By Wagon Christ" in the credits, as track 8 does. Dunno
what to make of that. Track 3 is remixed by Coldcut.
At the bottom, it says: To email Rising High USA contact: nicole@primenet.com
Overall, pretty darn good, if you like this kind of thing. It won't
change anyone's mind, but it is a US comp with a couple of "big" names on
it, so it shouldn't be too hard to get.
