"It was a bit strange, but we all loved it"

three years pass...

just getting into this guy this year, and basically, I like everything I've heard up through Black Secret Technology. His acid house stuff is really good, and always a little "off", which lots of little details that I wouldn't necessarily expect from straight ahead house. The breakbeat/dnb stuff is arguably even better, but I love the fact that since he was doing all this stuff right at the moments it was all happening, there's tons of odd hybrid versions of pretty much every big dance trend in the UK circa '88-'95.

I love the track he did with Lady Miss Kier

And everything on BST, and even his remix of Oxbow Lakes which has basically nothing to do with the original afaict

His track on Trance Europe Express 4 was what got me into him. Really unique sounding at the time, still is, really.

I mean to check out this album from 2006, love 'sweet you' from it, though its something of an outlier

coincidentally had both 'Blow Your House Down' and 'Humanity' in my head at times today

oddly the phrase Mark G quotes is the only result for itself in all of Google

I've seen Marcello Carlin use it on Twitter a few times in reference to non-establishment hit singles that the usual British music outlets had to begrudgingly cover.

Yeah, I sort-of nicked it off Marcello. It's a sort-of catchphrase to do with Dale Winton on "Pick of the Pops" or something like it. Sort-of.

Cupple tings:

I'm not sure if it's actually Peter Cook on the record, but.

Either way, the other sample is (or isn't) Dudley shouting "LATER!" from the same sketch(Bo Dudley)
