release date: February 1st 1999
SPEEDRANCH ^ JANSKY NOISE present: 'EXECRATE [CONFIGURATION 001]
"""""""""""""""""
TOOL 1 (1,000 x 12" only)
Well, it's here at last...
Recently feted in an already infamous Wire magazine cover story
('Harder!
Faster! Louder!' Oct 1998), Manchester's DJ Speedranch and Jansky Noise
(the latter one half of the notorious V/Vm crew) are lighting the blue
touch paper beneath the stagnating remains of the established music
industry. Love them or loathe them, these two are provoking a welcome
reaction, a kick up the arse of music.
Speedranch and Jansky Noise's first mix CD (entitled Welcome To
Execrate)will be released on March 1st by The Leaf Label, a mash up of
exclusive tracks by the likes of Stock Hausen & Walkman, 2nd Gen and DJ
Olive (from We), and turntablists like Mix Master Mike and Otomo
Yoshihide,
as well as plenty of their own compositions.
This limited edition 12" DJ tool is a taster for the album, containing
eight pieces with which the discerning (or downright strange) DJ can
create
his or her own Execrate-style mix. While it cannot really be described
as a
sampler for the mix CD - with typical perversity most of the cuts on the
12" will not be featured in the mix - it does give a flavour of the
terrors
to come.
An printed acetate sheet will be included in all copies of the 12". It
goes
some way to explaining the concept behind the record.
The 12" artwork contains the names of the artists included, but gives
away
very little else. For clarity, here is the full tracklisting for the
12":
side X - Speedranch ^ Jansky Noise
1. 'Welcome To Execrate - The Mohican Death Chant'
2. 'Necessary Aggression (A Mind Probe In The Caverns Of
Sub-Dwarfs)'
3. 'Spitting Venom At Your Methods'
4. 'Fuse The Vertical Strategy Game Extract - Vac 88r490:' (w/Stock
Hausen & Walkman)
5. 'Sapid Dust Devil'
side O - various artists
1. Somatic Responses - 'Retired (Rmx)' featuring Hrvatski v Blitter
2. Marco Passarani - 'Sphuk (Rmx)'
