Hey do you all like this track from 1992?

 

 

It's the first track that i'm aware of to sample afx....

yes lovely, are you on the pads bamb?

 

It's Joey Beltram

check this one from the same ep - fits quite well with the early afx vibe we've been enjoying this last week:

First track '8 Utopia' has over 30k listens while last track '19 [slo]w early morning clissold sunrise' has over 60k listens already. just thought I'd point that out

There's a random factor in it, the last track of his daily batches got more listens than some gems buried in between. Most people listen to one or two tracks and move on, they start at the top.

I was thinking the same thing Top geezer!

damn, well guess I was wrong about him not being finished uploading tracks. Maybe he'll have the favorites mastered? Beggars can't be choosers I guess.

Know what I'm not wrong about? 'Japan' is a straight up bonkers ass track, and every fan should appreciate every last piece of it. I have so many favorites in here it changes several times throughout the day.

Really like that 2nd Beltram track.

Nope, that's my dad! :)))

i wonder what name-your-price on bandcamp would bring in

I would pay £50.

Seems like he might've not uploaded .wavs to Soundcloud but the actual 128kbps files. Maybe.

that's what I've been thinking, too

Hopefully the tracks will have a bit of metadata. Even just the year would make them easier to organise.

Yeah, it's also been around since 1993 ya doofus

Loving the HAB outtakes. Some of them are better than what's on HAB. How could he not found some space for these on the EP?

i think it's because he was releasing so much stuff back then that his mind melted and these were left dormant on a Dat.....until now. HAB 3 folder created.

[slo]w early morning clissold sunrise reminds me a lot of this

i havent downloaded them because im waiting for them to be available to buy. i want to see 10 albums, album covers, album titles, and a Norman Records link for purchase by Valentines Day.

Well, I think that it's an hassle to upload 111 tracks to soundcloud, so I don't think he's going to reupload anything, just enabling the download. So if he uploaded higher quality,we will get higher quality, otherwise it's the 128kbps we're sticking with... I cannot imagine anyone wanting to reupload 111 tracks again to souncloud, and I think rdj has better ideas on how to spend his "now". Maybe

My gf asked me if the twin had kept these traxx because they weren't good enough for others to hear, I told her it was probably the exact opposite; they were too good and he wanted them just for himself!

'He sounds weird' she said... She really likes Red Calx though

Heheh, great photo. I was sure it wasn't you, even so the same thought somehow crossed my mind lol.

Diamond geezer.

Anyway we digress. Get the locomotive back on track!!

So... waiting 1 week eh? Well it's better than not getting them!

Probably been mentioned already but I assume Sams Car will be about Saman(tha)'s sweet ride. Does that fit with the timeline?

Listening to Parking Lot now... at first I thought it was strange he used the same sample that janet jackson had used for her song... but then, after listening now, I just realized that he had done that way before janet jackson and I went check the dates... JJ's song is 97; according to his notes, Parking Lot is 88-89ish (and you could tell that from the style of the track too)... how cool is that? it's 8 years before the same exact sample was used in a massive superproduction track

NEW TRACK!!!

It's the first track that i'm aware of to sample afx....

Whoa...somewhere help me out here. What AFX is this sampling?? Because the beat sounds likes it's sampled from Tom Jenkinson - Vogon & I (Sorry, no YouTube video), except that didn't come out until 1996... I swear it sounds almost identical.

Unless both songs sampled some old AFX that I'm just blanking on.
