I like The Berlin Sessions fine...it's not boring...but it's pretty monochromatic...and when you go back to "Voodoo Ray" and "Hot Lemonade" you remember how colorful (and blissfully exotic) Gerald's music could be...

I've never heard "Hot Lemonade" but always wanted to.
I found Gerald's old business card (from when he lived in NY) last week. It's on clear plastic.

It's also featured on the PlayStation 2 game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas by Rockstar Games
most likely thanks to Tim Sweeney!

i have vol 2 of this comp series. i bought it on a whim because it was in a $5 bargain bin.
it's ... different. it's not exactly what you'd expect. only about 1/3 of it (boneshakers, tricky disco, a couple other tracks) are what i'd call bleep'n'bass. the boneshakers track is obviously awesome. yes, it does sound quite a bit like shackleton / appleblim / skull disco, except faster and busier.
the rest of it is either belgian rave / british imitators of belgian rave or weird west-coast-breaks. i mean, a lot of it sounds like what the crystal method or mephisto odyssey were getting up to on the city of angels label.
it's interesting in the sense of hearing the links between belgian rave and hardcore, or between hardcore + belgian rave + west coast breaks, but only in a vague sociological sense. it's hard to listen to without a creeping gross feeling of "am i actually listening to outtakes from the blade soundtrack???". i mean, really, on some of the "ravier" tracks i keep expecting someone to scream "MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!"

Boneshakers - One Step Ahead (crazy ethnic-styled bleep'n'bass, like LFO + bongos)Zero Zero - The Sanity Clause (Stoopid) (LA rave music a la "james brown is dead" ... ill chuck d sample)Psychopaths - Nightmare (early darkcore ... rudimentary "mr kirk" stylings)Toxic - Original Style (SUAD flavors)100 Hz - Catching Spyders (In This Place Remix) (slow and eerie bleep'n'trance)Kromozone - The Rush (more like bleep'n'rave)

I had a box of spoken-word records that I’d go through to find stuff that would fit in with the music. I always wanted to use this Derek and Clive skit [Bo Duddley] but there wasn’t much memory in the sampler so when Peter Cook said “voodoo rage” it came out as “voodoo ray”.
I didn't know this! It's probably up thread though.

And indeed, it is. You can't get anything past ILM.

I heard that Peter Cook thing literally yesterday.
I did wonder.
― Mark G, Friday, 4 September 2015 00:01 (eight years ago) link
I played it again, literally today.
I didn't realise that "not only" is it Peter Cook saying "Voodoo Ray", "but also" it's Dudley Moore shouting "LATER" from the same source ("Bo Dudley" from "Derek and Clive Live")
