slammered

                                       

the misty reverb piano 

the genius of the dog sample going "RUFF RUFF"

it's nutt-E, it's ethereal, it's (yes) ruff, and as it says on the tin, it's SLAMMING

proof of God's existence

the not as good but interestingly suspended-feeling remix from Man Like Gavin

another remix I've no recollection of at all - "The Slammer (DJ Rush & Fitzy Remix)" (who dem?)

like taking a marker pen to the Mona Lisa, innit 

                                      

do not recollect the B-side

neither of them

their other claims to fame 

solid biznizz

big up Terry Holt, Bernard Simon

slammige cru #2 (let us now praise hardcore's other Michael Wells)

yes - as i just learned in the nick of time, before repeating the mistake already made a few times - the Michael Wells in GTO is not the same Michael Wells in Force Mass Motion

biographical snippet from Discogs

"Heavily influenced by Humanoid's "Stakker Humanoid" and the Sterns club in Worthing. He started making dance tracks in 1989. He was discovered by Colin Faver after sending in a tape to his "Demo DAT Pressure" section on his Kiss FM show. He combined his music production in the early 90s with studying Aerospace Engineering at Kingston University"

Force Mass Motion made many bangers, many many blasters





And actually - I did not know this - a whole album in 1992 for Rabbit City, that may well qualify in the Leaving Earth list of Rave LPs

Which funnily enough seems to have been reissued this very year by a label called Music Preservation Society

you can hear the whole thing here



Music Preservation Society has quite a trove of slammige on YouTube - stuff that it is reissuing in remastered form on vinyl
