you're right, i just meant that period.. at the time i rote i couldn't actually remember the names 'tuff little unit' and 'the step'

yeah, me too. brain enters sleep mode after about 10% of the track. sounds like freeform

controversial..... we're entering a new era of distortion, much more intense than weedy analogue rubbish - 700dB eq sounds great early in the morning distortion has its place, but it's not often used well. people just layer distortion onto everything and *then* it sounds wank - there should be distortion sounds and lovely clean sounds like annie singing something from her film

i wouldn't say so.. blime it's years since i heard that. personally i really dig a lot of stuff from the 'golden age' of jungle.. i'm currently discovering loads of gems from the reinforced back catalogue - 4 hero's 92-94 eps are the business! unfortunately they cost a fortune to track down these days. <waves> np - g. bryars - raising the titanic the airfix mix
