I'm stuck next to a fundie Christian and a fundie Muslim.
The combination of just plain wrong and pure evil frequently gives me a brainwrong - for (topical) example, the Haiti earthquakes are a divine punishment for their godless voodoo ways.

they really say that?

Yes.
Sadly yes.

See also: There's no such thing as an innocent child, as "the sins of the fathers shall be visited on their sons unto the seventh generation" or some similar crap, so the number of kids who you might consider collateral damage to the punishment of the godless Haitians actually had it coming anyway. The little fuckers.

which do you think is more appropriate?

They're some of the worst kind of scum in the world, as far as I'm concerned.

Ask them if they read ancient Hebrew, "oh', just that I thought you would, seeing as the first book, in both of your texts state that it is God's language. I wouldn't really on someone else's translation, they might have got it wrong. Mind you, I can see that might be excessive for a part-time christian/muslim".

I'm sure there are loads.

My grandad absolutely loves it
He heard it playing (when was it? 88/89??) and asked us what it was, bopping his chubby self around the kitchen. When he realised the title featured his name he was cock-a-hoop.

Yes, my grandad's name is Voodoo etc etc.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 13:54, Reply)

Up there with 'Humanoid' and 'What Time is Love'
as genre classics.

My favourite of all those old rave classics is the lesser-known 'Acid Tickle' by Little Little. Takes me back I tell you.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 13:58, Reply)

I'll be checking that later
Was never a big KLF fan, to be honest. By that time I had discovered the delights of Sweet Exorcist, Orbital and Aphex Twin, while my peers still got stiff whenever they heard a Prodigy track.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 14:03, Reply)

I'm an idiot
I had loooads of tapes and a bit of vinyl. I was quite young to have that kind of stuff, as my mates were into Mel & Kim.
Having a very young aunt and uncle sorted out my record collection, and helped me to save the school disco on more than one occasion.

I let my uncle have some of the vinyl and I've no idea where the tapes are. I do have some crappy singles under pseudonyms that were either by people who became known DJs or were already 'famous'. So people tell me. I mean, was the E-Zee Posse actually Boy George? *hysterics*

'Everything Starts with an E' feat MC Kinky?
He was definitely involved in some way.

I also liked Lil' Louis, French Kiss, but I bet this is where my winning streak ends and you call me a Brosette.

i liked that noise in the less bleepy ones that was like "whit-chook"

I was only a nipper though. And some of it was on tapes from clubs WITH NO INLAY CARD!!!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 14:41, Reply)

Me neither, they were cunts.
I LOVED LFO and that whole bleeps thing. Particularly N-Joi, of course, as you know...

Special mention goes to Shut Up & Dance records who were consistently ace. I really loved The Ragga Twins.

(Cancer Joy was short lived, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 15:04, Reply)

L F O
Was, and still is a beast of a track. The whole bleep culture thing was completely owned by Sweet Exorcist. 'Testone', with its 'If everything's ready on the dark side of the moon, play the five tones' intro still sends shivers up my spine. Then of course, 'Clonk', that took bass to new depths, further than LFO could even have dreamed of, brilliant, woofer destroying, 12"
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 14:31, Reply)

remember The Theme by Unique 3?
Kind of started that bleep stuff off if you ask me. There is a mix without the (pretty terrible) rap on it that is HEAVY.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 14:34, Reply)

Yeah, i do remember that
Don't think I've heard that particular mix though. Can't really stick rap to be honest, so I would definitely prefer it. Sweet Exorcist were Richard H Kirk of Cabaret Voltaire fame and someone called DJ Parrot. While they might not have kicked off the Bleep Culture thing, they certainly made it their own. Bleeps, tones, handclaps and bass. Ye canny beat it.

If you haven't ever heard the Clonk 12", i may have a spare one kicking about i could send ye!
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 14:43, Reply)

sounds like I need it!
I do have a Cabaret Voltaire 12" but can't recall the name.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 14:57, Reply)

Yes, it is a valuable sonic weapon
It is about 90% bass, but that's the whole point of it. Unapologetic, wobbly sub-bass, decades before Dubstep and Grime.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 15:02, Reply)

sounds a bit like 'Ital's Anthem' by Ital Rockers
remember that one? Heaviest bass ever.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 15:17, Reply)

I think it may be even heavier, more minimal and more extreme
Checked for Clonk on ebay and you can pick up a copy for £4 with delivery, which is VERY reasonable for a 20 year old 12". Maybe because the vast majority of folk would get halfway through one side and be screaming for it to be turned off.

I'm sure there is a bass shaped space for it somewhere in your collection.
Let me know how you get on.

Incidentally, what kind of audio set up do you have for home listening pleasure?
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Wed 20 Jan 2010, 16:13, Reply)

do you know what - I don't even fucking know!
My speakers are Tannoys - I think the amp's Cambridge Audio, but I'm not sure.

My turntables are of course Technics SL1200s, the Luddite's choice, and my mixer is a Vestax
