Proj X is an alias of Gavin Cheung - better known as Nookie
I do not remember this 1970s kiddy cartoon at all
Sgt Wilson aka John le Mesurier is the narrator on the original series
But it's a different - smarmier - voice used on the record
Gavin C he had a lot of aliases and scrutinizing those names I suddenly saw like a flash another toytown tekno contenda - Windy Milla, based on Windy Miller, a character from Camberwick Green - (itself a spin off of Trumpton - Camberwick Green being a village in Trumptonshire. Or is Trumpton a spin-off of Camberwick Green? Hauntology cru will know)
Sure enough the "Windy Miller" song is sampled and sped up in "Windy's Theme"

Late addition of another piece of Bod-y music via yt in comments:
Grant Nelson, aliased as Ruff Rider, put out this track "Move Ya Bod" on the Shaggy Ridims EP
Whole EP
These posts have been bringing on a strange kind of double nostalgia: for the original show, and then for its mutant second life in a hardcore track.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching the first ever episode of Roobarb and Custard, and laughing harder than I have ever laughed at anything in my life, before or since.
And I remember Bod because it was for younger children - roughly speaking, the Teletubbies demographic - and at my primary school we used to laugh at how unsophisticated it was.
Answering your question: Camberwick Green was the original, followed by Trumpton and then Chigley.
Bods theme also sampled on the Shaggy Rydims EP: https://www.discogs.com/release/184672-Ruff-Rider-Shaggy-Ridims-EP
ReplyDeleteThis one is pretty decent!
nice one - will add that to the post
ReplyDeletegood to know about the sequence Ed - and I completely forgot about the existence of Chigley
funnily enough "Chigley" used to be nickname that we and a UK friend of ours used to describe our children when they were toddlers, like "well, I think it's high time the Chigleys were dispatched to bed now, don't you?" But I'd never realised that's where the name came from.
