Various ‎– Loop: Cut & Paste Groove Collection

Various Artists
Loop: Cut & Paste Groove Collection
1998 PopMafia

This is a pretty damn good compilation from a label that had only 5 releases. I remember grabbing it at a Hastings in New Mexico of all places after being thoroughly disappointed in their selection of electronic music back in 98. It’s has some exclusives from Bugs, Dropcycle & Honeypot along with some of my favourites like Meat Beat Manifesto, Halou & Perfume Tree. A electro/dubby/downtempo delight overall, cool artwork as well.

2. The Grassy Knoll - The Innocent Criminal
3. Halou - I'll Carry You
4. Bugs - Only You

Meat Beat Manifesto ‎– RUOK?

Meat Beat Manifesto
RUOK? (Album + Enhanced 3" Mini CD)
2002 Run Recordings / Tino Corp. / Flexidisc

The 2002 release RUOK? will wrap up this trio from Jack Dangers. This edition included a mini enhanced CD called Free Piece Suite. Jack used the rare EMS Synthi 100 (only 30 were manufactured) to record this album. The outcome results in an exciting & unique sound with splendid depth and the killer beats that Jack is know for. “Horn Of Jericho” was done with the brilliant Alex Paterson and appears as “Matron” on Jack & Alex’s brilliantly packaged Battersea Shield EP. Great stuff… Enjoy!

Meat Beat Manifesto – Now

Meat Beat Manifesto
Now
1991 Mute

Let’s do a triad of the man who pioneered early the 90’s industrial hip-hop sound and the mastermind behind Meat Beat Manifesto, Jack Dangers. Originally from the band Perennial Divide, Jack Dangers and Jonny Stephens formed MBM in 1987. A masterful combination of techno, dub, industrial & jazz… what more could you want. One of my most treasured singles with 3 great remixes of “Now” from their album 99% and 2 b-sides including the brilliant & creepy “Love Mad” and the exclusive “Children Of The Beloved”. 

1. Now (Remix)
2. Now (Paradise Found)
3. Now (Paradise Now)
4. Love Mad
5. Children Of The Beloved
