10th Aniversary release !!

Ourselves & Kev (Koti) had the DnB itch in '96 & this was our best colaboration, except that the mix was terrible (we were high) & the mastering/duplication (done by a supposed pro) was clipping

This is re-mastered to remove the clipping, so will sound ever so slightly different to the original.

doh doh doh

sorry folks, this must be the worst mixed & mastered dnb track ever. Must've been real tipsy last night to post this

It's 10 years old & was ruined by a CD duplicator who mastered it wrongly then blamed us for giving him a clipping mix. The clipping is awful all the way through & just for the record, my own thoughts are that the track sounds insane, but with a cleaner, more dynamic mix with more parameter automation (of which there was quite a lot) it could have been far better.

I also think someone went ott with the squeeling prophecy shreek, but one of the 3 folk involved liked it & it ending up overused.

I still quite like what's going on manipulation wise in the chopped, mashed & filtered breaks, but in this mix they sound dreadfull.

ah, memories

hehe, i've some old tapes from this era, they sound exactly the same, quality wise but the style was called "Jungle"...

nice track btw, I barely remember the good times...

cheers

Thanks Katano. Yeh, we've got loads of old tunes gathering dust on the shelf too

Unfortunately, a whole album's worth of this stuff was mastered & duplicated from DAT to CD by a supposed 'pro' for us & they're all badly clipping at times which is a real shame, but no great loss, as back then our mixing was terrible anyway & most of the mixes are poor

It's nice to listen back to old ideas & techniques though, even if just for our memory's sake
