every time i have seen AMS he has been hidden behind the mixing desk.
which is exactly where he should be of course.

and then there is ghetto priest.
a long forgotten part of the labels history.
he has been part of the extended label family for years, but during the lost years, he and AMS put together an album.
this track has tested many an amp over the years.

yeah, i saw him "support" the orb in the early 90s and it was pretty much the same.
that said, also saw him support Foetus (maddest double act ever !), and he just played and mixed stuff via the mixing desk and yet was brilliant.

prior to the warp relaunch of the label,
there was a period of time when the On-U label was not really in favour.
thankfully a few bands remembered and called upon AMS to add his sonic chaos to their thing.

indeed.
and dont forget this was 1984 when the technology was seriously limited.

mark e @ireallylovemusic.co.uk · 14h

and then after peel played this,
i bought the album, and that was it.
i knew i was into this thing for life.
however : why on earth the cherry red cd reissue has a crap cover as opposed to the original brilliant artwork i will never understand.

was able to get this digitally via the 3cd special edition of DMs remix set that i got sent on promo.
this version was not on the 2cd standard edition.
created in 1984 and still sounds insane when given a decent soundsystem.

i have a few of the labels t-shirts,
and there have been some that have featured this as a small print (chest pocket area), but not as a full print.

just in case there are some pedants out there who get miffed at me posting stuff re TACK>>HEAD when i have delcared this evenings session to be all about On-U Sound.
the fact is, On-U Sound, is not just a label, but a way of life.

once again, if you love vinyl and love a gorgeous looking slipmat, then act sharpish.

Be quick though. I can’t keep up with demand!

thursday session : until AMS sorts out the TACK>>HEAD boxset as per discussed on the recent podcast by @eops.bsky.social these compilations will have to suffice.
Volume 3 of the series was a compilation of live tracks which are great, but very different to the studio creations.

wednesday session endzone : still get chills whenever i remember i managed to see the spree twice one day.
rob da bank had clearly pushed out the budget and brought them over for 2 shows for camp bestival.
their rocky horror show in the aft, then the full on show later.
so so good.
