not being a big fan of the eloctro/industrial sound which was formed a large part of mbm's early bag, and also not being enamoured of mr dangers' vocal stylings, i would say their one release that i can still recommend is "version galore" which was 8(?) mixes of 2 tracks "radio babylon" + "psych out". all trancy deep bass'n'bleep proto-idm w/ a big assist from andy weatherall in best dubby daze, and boney m samples too. "radio babylon's" killer bassline went on to enjoy fame and fortune as the hook to fsol's "papua new guinea". i'm not sure how available this is nowadays, but a couple of the mixes showed up on nothing's "original fire" comp, tho' i didn't feel this was a better release despite its greater length and variety. apologies now as this is probably not the typical response you'd get from an mbm aficionado. -martin np - lee perry/the complete uk upsetter singles collection vol 1.
