From Mike B , embracing his inner Goth. Your mini album for Sunday.
Released in 1984 the Norwich quartet of Robert Masters (drums and member of The Great Outdoors) Chiff Mackie (guitar), David Howse (bass) and Dieter Coulson (vocals) were flying the Bauhaus banner with their bass driven cuts.
Starts off well with “Devil” but plods along a bit, Terry Macleay (Sex Gang Children) produces “Borrowed Tongues” which is a little bit different with a wider sound stage – a bit early Fad Gadget. The closing instrumental track glistens with chiming guitars but why an instrumental if it only had 6 tracks ?
Euro Trash of the highest calibre. I never even went on a Club 18-30’s holiday.
A farewell to Summer. I have heard this so many times but never knew who it was by. Now, thanks to Malik, it is here on the coveted Sunday slot with all 8 mixes !
From March 1996 from this German and as it mentions not too dissimilar to Ace Of Bass, cod reggae and pan pipes and a lush production.
The Groove Version gives it a shuffle beat and dare I say improves it a little. To give it some Club credential Mousse T provided 3 Handbag House mixes, with that signature wonky organ. Fool the Dancers with the Dub which is a pretty decent House track in its own right.
The last track is an acapella track so you can add it over another backing.
From October 1991 and more Dub Reggae in style than previous releases, typically Sherwood fuelled, the follow up to Human Nature (?)
It’s deep with plenty of dogs barking and thumping drums.
“Crocodile Eyes” is a Street Beat / Electro arrangement with a bit of heavy and funk guitar. Pre-empting fellow Bristolian Tricky. Like the loose feel as the guys jam together.
Friday certainly has the potential for a Tente takeover, after providing the Candy Flip shares.
Gary Clail and his intrinsic links with Adrian Sherwood and the On-U Sound collective (Tackhead, Roots Radics, Akabu, Dub Syndicate). Tente kindly shared a few releases all in FLAC. (Although I had to open in the VLC player)
(There’s a lot of Clail on here and this was already here so thanks to the original poster)
One of the first Paul Oakenfold & Steve Osborne mixes in their Perfecto guise.
The original version taken from the “End Of The Century Party” LP and all about NOT eating animals in a reggae / dub style. Co-written and played on by by Jah Wobble and Keith Levene.
It used a reworked lyric from Public Enemy’s “Bring The Noize” as its main refrain. The original Public Enemy lyric “Bass! How low can you go? Death row, what a brother knows” became “Beef! How low can you go? Hear the cattle cry, death row.”
Tom Sanchez provides the extra guitar on the Rosabel mix (Abel Aguilera and Ralphi Rosario) – my pick from this selection.
The Downtempo version goes into R&B territory by Welcome Productions (Joe Carrano who adds keyboards, doesn’t really work, too slow.
Warren Rigg’s mix is okay, even with the extended final note. Skillmasters (UK duo Martin Stack and Roger Portas)don’t up the tempo and is the most synthetic, a favourite as it’s a bit Erasure.
Hex Hector reflects the current trend on Tribal House sitting Summer’s vocals neatly on top and it works well.
Peter Rauhofer’s (Club 69) full mix is your typical Euro House , drops and builds aplenty.
An exclusive track “Love On And On” gets the House by numbers treatment.

Disc 2 has the longest mixes geared for serious Club use and all about 4 mins too long. “Best Of My Love” is ripped off on track 2 and is mercifully short.
Track 4 is by far the hardiest whilst the exclusive Johnny Newman mix, brings jazz loops and a ska vibe – the only thing he did.
The final track is typical “circuit tribal” House and drags on even more.
