Quick one for the CV spotters... dug out my old tape of Cabaret Voltaire's "Groovy, Laid Back and Nasty" the other day. I know it's unfashionably un-IDM and I'm glad they didn't stick to the style but I still kinda like it as music to drive to. Bit like Code. So, assuming they didn't produce it themselves, who did? Was it Weatherall or was that Code?

Adrian Sherwood produced "Code"... I really hope Weatherall didn't produce "Groovy, Laid Back, and Nasty". It *sounds* like it was either Stephen Hague or Shep Pettibone, though I doubt it was actually either one. np: Thingy "Songs About Angels, Evil, And Running Around On Fire" ======================================================================= Brian MacDonald <brianm@kuci.org> KUCI 88.9 fM in Irvine, CA -- Orange County ======================================================================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Just thought I'd add, Rob Gordon and Mark Brydon have been working as producers in Sheffield for many a year and were at the heart of the city's early dance scene with their work for FON studios. It was interesting when it all came together around the time of Warp's bleep stuff and the Cabs 'Groovy, Laidback And Nasty' album. In fact, I well recall the Cabs 'Easy Life' track from that album being played out side by side with Sweet Exorcist, Unique 3, Nightmares On Wax etc. at a club called Jive Turkey run by Winston Hazell and Parrot. Mark Brydon is of course now coining it in as Moloko.

Yes indeed Kirk + Parrot was Sweet Exorcist. Clonk is an absolute classic! Funny this thread has come up lately because lately I've been in a retro-bleepy techno mood listening to a lot of early LFO, Sweet Exorcist, Altern 8, Forgemasters, early Nightmares on Wax, etc... btw: anybody have any of the early Warp listed below that you would be willing to part with? Email me privately if so... . Sweet Exorcist: test one 12" (Warp 3) . Sweet Exorcist: test one 12" (Warp 3R) . LFO: lfo 12" (Warp 5) . LFO: lfo 12" (Warp 5R) . Sweet Exorcist: clonk 12" (Warp 9) . Sweet Exorcist: clonk 12" (Warp 9R) . LFO: what is house? cdep/12" (Warp 17) .

Yep, that's absolutely the reason! What a dope club! It ran at various venues between about 1986 and 1990. It was splendidly multi-racial, and pretty much introduced house to Sheffield. It began with a very dressed up crowd in the palatial neo-classical City Hall Ballroom, and became gradually more 'rave-like' (for want of a better term) as the acid house influence spread and it moved on to the smaller, grottier, but definitely 'avin it Occasions. But it always had its own sound, and was basically the home of Sheffield's dance scene. Warp, Designers Republic and the rest all went there. The club's DJ's were key too - Winston Hazell was of course in Forgemasters with Rob Gordon (and even now is tour DJ with Moloko), while Parrot was half of Sweet Exorcist with Richard H. Kirk and is now doing his All Seeing I thing. Damon.
