700 bleeps
a list of 700 bleeps bass 'n' breaks tunes!
https://www.discogs.com/lists/The-Ultimate-Breaks-Bass-And-Bleeps-List/11786?page=1
"an exhaustive guide to every bass & bleep track that I know of" says its creator
according to him, this is the very first one - which I had never heard til this minute
Loads of treasure in this list, which will have to wait until I have a spare half-a-week to sift
But e.g. an outfit called Detromental that chap says is one of the best bleEPs he's ever heard
And this very early tune from Nightmares on Wax - when they were called Nights On Wax
Manchester cru sounding very deep tech
Ubik fellow sounding more Belgian than bleep (and it's on R&S)
London cru
New Yorkers paying tribute - "Love In Sheffield Mix" !
a public service, this chap's list

I can see for miles ant miles ant miles ant miles ant miles
for some reason, at the time, i thought "Cold Fresh Air" over-rated - perhaps that wafting vocal lick seemed part of the worrying shift towards serene 'n' clean on the scene
possibly i never even heard the above remix, which seems to me, right now, to be the ultimate "intelligent rinse" tune
here's the original
what else did Ant Miles do under this guise?
on the flip of CFArmx -
coming with the Alison Moyet / "Situation" giggle, for the umpteenth time in the annals of dance!
remixing himself (well him + a mate):
and on the flip
earlier in the sequence, pre Moving Shadow era - and pretty darn ruff - this was the flip to the original "Cold Fresh Air"
back to Shadow, and quite late - atmospheric-cinematic
nice dissonant bell-tones reminding me of XON
to do the run-down of his other identities and collaborative alter-wegos would take another post or two...
