After last night’s post I had to listen to some old Prodigy Material and holy eff it’s so natsikashi. I think that’s a Japanese phrase for nostalgic. I’m taken right back to high school during the early to mid 90s. I remember playing these albums on my parents’ stereo in the basement and rocking out, later to be yelled at by either my mum or dad because the music was too loud. Turning the volume down never helped because the low end would vibrate through the floor. Oh the good old days.

EXPERIENCE
While in University my first radio show was called Cerebral Seductions and I went by an alter ego known to my listeners as Paul-Z. Get it? Cerebral Paul-Z? Yeah, in retrospect it’s a bad joke, but I was 18 then. Show me an 18-year-old that hasn’t been stupid and I’ll, um, do something really nice for you.

This was 1995; the station had nothing resembling digital editing so I recorded my show promo on a real-to-real. For the bed of the promo, (you know, the music part that lay under my voice telling everyone to listen to my show) I cut in the beginning sample from “Out of Space.” I thought it was so clever, and for someone brand new to editing, I think it was quite good. Imagine, that dodododododod do dooooooooo, spacey bleeping playing beneath a geeky techno fan saying something about listening to techno every Tuesday night from 10 to 11, then the “I’ll take your brain to another dimension” sample, then the crazy beats.

Yes.

MUSIC FOR THE JILTED GENERATION
When it came out, I remember liking this record a lot more than Experience. Maybe I had pent-up rage issues or something and the aggression in the music spoke to me on a different level.

I don’t have any idea. Like I replied to the anonymous comment in the last post however, I really wanted to be a raving British revolutionary. I think I still do.
