Presumably based on an old Aboriginal folk song.
Unfortunately his other songs were kiddie-turkeys. Rolf went on to much fame as an ex-pat Aussie kids programme entertainer here, but this stunning one chord wonder - Rolf imitates Digeridoo - tho' he can play it, to great effect. This track is really called You Don't Love Me - sorry, typo. This classic from his amazing '50s sessions that somehow brings Africa to Chicago by way of the Delta in one foul tremelo rich swoop. Pop Staples remains for me the greatest unsung guitar player.įorget all the Afro '70s late stuff, go for all those classic pre-66 sides - Vee-jay stuff especially.and that 'GREAT DAY' Fantasy recds release.īo Diddley - born Elias McDaniels, afore adopting his pseudonym - based on an old Delta instrument called a Diddley Bo: basically, two nails 2 ft apart on a door frame, plucked at one end and "bowed" with a bottleneck at the other.Īnyhow - this guy invented more genres than any one - ever. This Gospel gem, I believe written by Bobby Womack, is obviously the root of the Stones hit from '65. This May Be The Last Time - The Staples Singers Sonic Boom's compilation of some of his fave songs + influences.
Highly recommended.SPACELINES - SONIC SOUNDS FOR SUBTERRANEANS Packaged in a spot-gloss sleeve, this deluxe package includes three 12x12 art prints. Impress your nerdy friends by playing some pitched-down cuts from this one during your next DJ set. You can’t be in a bad mood when you’re listening to this record - even the more downtempo pieces exude a truly positive, jubilant vibe. “Stardust Speedway (Present) ” is shimmering polyphonic synths and clockwork percussion with a hip-hop swing, “Metallic Madness (Good Future)” is rugged breaks and digital slide whistle. “Wacky Workbench (Bad Future)” starts with straight-up rave klaxons, buzzsaw basslines and huge synth stabs. “Palmtree Panic” could be an 808 State 12” played at double time - pounding piano chords, chopped and screwed samples of a cheering crowd, a quirky sax-like lead - even a breakdown with a high pass filter effect. It was the early 90’s, and new types of dance music were just starting to reach Japan.” The enhanced specs of the Sega CD greatly expanded the duo's compositional possibilities, with the music no longer limited to a mere six channels of audio. Sonic was even seen on slipmats used by DJs in clubs. “I looked at how Sonic was received by the British audiences.
The music is primarily inspired by contemporary house and techno music of the time, with Hayata citing C+C Music Factory, Frankie Knuckles, and The KLF as influences. The Japanese soundtrack was composed by Naofumi Hataya and Masafumi Ogata, who had met while working on an 8-bit adaptation of Sonic The Hedgehog. It's not great, and it's not included in this set.) This 3 disc set collects the original version of the soundtrack that was featured in the Japanese and European editions of the game, and is a brilliant collection of Chiptune-style electronica. (One note about the music - The geniuses at Sega of America decided that the Japanese score wouldn’t work in the US, and they composed their own. The music is organized on this release by timeline, then by level, leading to a more varied listening experience than if they were 4 remixes of the same track in a row. Sonic traverses these timelines by spinning bespoke signposts, instantly transforming the level’s color palette, enemies, and music. The game features a time travel element inspired by the time-slipping adventure film Back To The Future 2, with each level having 4 different variants - Past, Present in addition Good Future and Bad Futures. The lackluster performance of Sonic 2 in Japan lead to a new direction for the Sonic CD project, resulting in what is considered one of the finest titles in the Sonic franchise. Sonic 2 had been developed by the Sega Technical Institute in the US with a gameplay style that emphasized speed above platforming and exploration, but Japanese gamers preferred the latter elements. While the violent content of some Sega CD titles lead to its share of controversy (and even congressional hearings) in the United States and Europe, Sega Japan was hard at work on an upgraded sequel to the Megadrive smash hit Sonic The Hedgehog 2. The Sega CD was capable of displaying full motion video and CD-quality audio, a first for a console from a major manufacturer. A bulky add-on for the clinging-to-relevance Genesis, the Sega CD arrived in Japan in 1991, and a few years later in the US and Europe. The Sega CD was anachronistic almost immediately upon its release, but it has its gems (or should we say emeralds?). Cartridge Headshells / Alignment / Cleaners
