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.

I liked LFO
I liked all that stuff. It made me get goosebumps.

There's a corner of my record collection you would very much enjoy, then.
I have all the classics.

"whistle posse"

I wasn't in a posse :(
I had looooads of very rude smiley badges and not-so-rude friendship bands and got told off in school.

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"

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!

sounds like I need it!
I do have a Cabaret Voltaire 12" but can't recall the name.

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.

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 shall buy myself a copy, thank you!

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
