It was easy to assume that it would be like that all the time- tons of great records being released. Maybe that's just being young.

Deep and dubby (think Jack Master 's Bang the Box) early doors building up to dark techno. Blake Baxter's Sexual Deviant is still one of my favorites from that time. Saw some great PAs there Ege Bam Yasi, Plastikman, Neuro Project. They used to run coaches down to Club UK afterwards, which was welcome after the MoS binned off Emerson's Open all Hours. <br /><br />H...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-2530881736146810342016-02-05T12:10:17.333+00:002016-02-05T12:10:17.333+00:00Oh God, and Giant Steps.

I also had a cassette with the whole of side one made up of Smokebelch II and Story Of The Blues pt 2 over and over again that year. I'd picked up a 2nd hand copy of the Story Of The Blues single for 50P and was obsessed with the B Side.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163017415448622471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-73155521690125338632016-02-05T12:06:31.072+00:002016-02-05T12:06:31.072+00:00I agree with most of this, but somehow at the time...I agree with most of this, but somehow at the time I was fully aware of this, I could see grunge disappearing - I hated it, and the new stuff seemed to be carrying on where the 90s had seemed to start. I'd been in a weird place of working in recording studios and being unemployed in 92, I got more work in 93, better paid so maybe that was an influence. The year felt sunny and exciting and new and fresh. And Ain't No Love was my single of the year.<br /><br />One of my possibly top ten albums of all time was Pulp's Intro compilation of the singles they were doing 92/93, which I think is them in perfect mode, a bit like the opening side of Blondie's Eat To The Beat or the first 3 tracks on Give Em Enough Rope.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163017415448622471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-78568851281906035802016-02-05T10:47:01.310+00:002016-02-05T10:47:01.310+00:00If only history lessons had been as interesting as...If only history lessons had been as interesting as that when I was at school AdamCharity Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049726176497694026noreply@blogger.com
