Electric company - Slow food

The first two tracks of this electronica/glitchtronica LP. Hasn't stood the test of time as well as some of the other electronica LPs of the time but has it's standout moments.

Coughing up fire - Saxon studio international

A short section from this live LP from 1984 on greensleeves records. The sound is as muddy as you'd expect (this really bugs me - like with Radio 1 coverage of Glastonbury or anything live. Why can't they get a signal from the mixing desk and then add a little bit of mic-ed audience sound over the top? What it sounds like they to is get a minidisc with a mic and go and stand in the toilets to record the whole thing.)

Anyhow, as a point of interest, this record provides samples for Fatboy Slim and Chase and Status and has some good MC action to recommend it.

The life of Clutchy Hopkins

A strange record. Part DJ tool, part instrumental hip hop, part funk. Sounds like all live instruments. Lots of untitled tracks. Really good stuff.

Hip hop and breaks - Side 1

This is a tape done for me by a friend. It isn't named very accurately as it has no hip hop (unless you count the awful Audio Bullys track that I think I cut out of this rip) and few proper breakbeats. It is a nice collection of tracks, however, and makes a great listen. ***Update - thanks to Matty for the tracklist - only a couple of blanks to fill in***

As a point of interest he's only got one deck and a pause button but my new version of Acid music studio crossfades things quite nicely. So at some points where I've cut things out you'll hear things blending.
