It’s a classic… Mad obscure sample as well. There’s a shit load of others too that are just as cold blooded

(Which I guess technically is not his tune…it’s his brothers).

Kinda did this quickly…If I overthink or start to trawl albums I’ll end up with quite a few more.
These are all solid, though.

It’s like he releases everything he makes. Maybe that’s the best way to earn…but I can’t help but feel like if he hung on a little longer, he’d have 6 incredible albums and a couple of good EPs rather than probably 30 big releases.

Fuck it. This deserves a space because of the clear piss taking of drum and bass going on.

…and this because it is actually wicked. And Chris Cunningham.

Heh, this got some play back in the day :melting_face:

SP used to live round corner for a while. Interesting dude. I remember he semi-resolved a noise dispute with the neighbours by knocking off the studio time at 9pm daily. At which point he sounded a massive gong he had to signify the end of the session :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Chelmsford way? My friend Martin is from there. SP used to play a regular night in a pub for a bit.

I remember mentioning something SP related in the late 90’s…
“That nutter from the pub who plays bass guitar over his sped up jungle beats?”

Gutted I never saw that.
I did see him around that era, though…Blue Note. Bass guitar. Sped up jungle beats.

A bit like jungle, it felt like things progressed really really quickly between say 92-95

That gig must have been heavy

Method Man also played the Equinox round the back of Leicester Square in '95.
I went to that…Was so mad.
I remember it being cold out and I think Cuban Linx was the newest thing the Wu had put out. I’m 99% sure it was right before GZA dropped Liquid Swords.

The 90s was the best. The 60s might have been good for a few hundred hipsters living in London, the rest not so much

90s did feel like things were mellowing socially and music was progressing forwards and sideways nicely.
Millenium happened and commercial music took a massive dive and has not recovered and… well, politically and socially… fucked.
We have to remember that everyone will have very skewed ideas of their favourite decade because they were at their most carefree so it will always feel like a better era overall.

agree yep

Sheffield. He lived up here for a while. Shared a couple of bills with him and saw him live quite a few times during that time period. Always liked that he was never the same twice when he did his live stuff.

One time in the upstairs room of a boozer he just turned up with a minidisc player. When it was his set he walked onto the stage, plumbed it in, hit play and then went and stood back in the crowd. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
