Jay Danham is a weird dude. He was right there for the second wave and then he got sucked into crappy hard techno as the 90's progressed.
This is kind of dope in a Detroit obscurity sort of way:

oh yeah, i LOVE that bango track "mystical adventure" from the virtual sex comp. how is the other bango ep on fragile? looking like i should basically just buy everything on fragile at this point
― anita bonghit (rionat), Sunday, 31 January 2010 01:13 (fourteen years ago) link
I couldn't tell you to be honest. I don't own any of the Bango records.
It is so easy to find digital versions of old dance vinyl that you might as well dig around for the whole catalog and figure out what you want. Fragile was a good label, definitely worth looking into.
Retroactive was pretty bananas label as well. A lot of it is rare as hens teeth and super expensive, but it is really good. Carl Craig ran it with Damon Booker before Carl split to run Planet E. The Placid Angles record is dope early John Beltran shit, Carl Craig's stuff was good, Mark Kichen's record was dope, and the Inertia record was some of Gerald Simpson's best deep techno stuff.
I posted it up thread, but if you are into the early breakbeat stuff that wasn't corny, you might want to look into this record:
http://www.discogs.com/Intelligent-Communication-Principles-Of-Motion-EP/release/98217
It is still stupid cheap because nobody knows what it is yet, but it is really good. It is one of those records that is just waiting to be dropped by the right name and it will be worth a lot more. I think when ambient house comes back it will be fashionable again.

yeah well obviously i could spend hours upon hours researching labels on youtube and buying records on discogs, that's pretty much all i do anyway. and obviously i've already looked into fragile records. just wanted to talk about some music i've been feeling lately
it's amazing how easy youtube makes it to buy records now. however, i spent a good couple of hours today in some record shops and only came away with one record - somehow i kept thinking "best leave that and check it out on youtube first"

Excellent!

I should reiterate, this is an absolute monster of a record, sets a standard for exactly what a 4 track (house) EP should be and do.
Also, the first CD of Frictionalism is down, and it's like there's a party in my ears and everyone's invited. Thank goodness for Rush Hour and its relevance for early 20's ignoranti like myself.

it is great! in my experience, Kerri seldom misses. i played the jazz sample track from that 12" at my last DJ night.

the innervisions shop had a 12" with the lykke li track on one side and 'the wanderer' on the other.
'the wanderer' itself got reissued last month, get that instead!!

i think it's pretty trite to put "the wanderer" over the top of a martin buttrich track and release it and get paid for it. especially as there are already plenty perfectly good club mixes. i know this is hardly unheard of in house and techno music

I have serious doubts about the Ragas reissue. Kudos to the producer is that is really from 1982 but I am skeptical.

I don't think it sounds that different from other proto techno/house stuff from the early 80s and late 70s (like E2-E4 or "Rock Groove Machine" by the J.B.'s) that it should be considered a fake. The only suspicious bit is that he seems to have discovered the acid sound in TB-303 way before DJ Pierre & co, but since they came up with it by just fiddling with the machine, it's not inconceivable someone else discovered it and put it on record before them.
― Tuomas, Monday, 5 April 2010 22:49 (fourteen years ago) link
spot on Tuomas.
I'll admit, I was ecstatic when I found out about this a week ago, especially as it seems like the obvious sideways move that would have occurred amongst the composers working within Bollywood's disco obesssion in the early 1980s.
Checkout this Nazia Hassan (produced by Biddhu) track, also from 1982, which is a solid, faithful rework of Moroder/Summer's I Feel Love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ead-K_q5QNs&feature=related
There's a whole bunch of these tracks I've been slowly collecting - each playing with the imported disco-sound (someday, I'll write a piece on my Hiniditalo obsession); so no surprise that disco in India when detached from the song/vocal-led form gave way to tracky house/acid - just like elsewhere.

While we're talking about proto acid house, check out this tune:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udS9seorVz4
It's from 1979, so obviously it doesn't have an 303, but the way the squelchy, modulating synth is played throughout the whole song certainly sounds like what acid house producers did with the 303 later on. The album this is on (Groove Machine by The J.B.'s) has a proto house vibe all over: it's all about the steady 4/4 beat and relentless groove, and the vocals and horns on it just repeat the same short lines over and over again, without variation, as if they were samples. (I assume that in some cases they actually are samples, i.e. they just recorded one bit and looped it over and over with whathever technology producers were using back then.) When I first heard that record I couldn't believe it was from 1979. So I was wondering, besides being the godfathers of funk and rap, should we credit James Brown and The J.B.'s for laying the seeds for house too?
