I never listened his music but I read he made a great acid track in '89 titled "Voodoo Ray", so now I'm became curious. Do you know his music? Is there something good should I listen? |

hi was as good as producers get the early 808 state releases and everything up until automannik is essential, althought that was the point that it stopped being so special imho the very early juice box records are good, up till 28 gun bad boy up till then was his golden era a real innovator and lovely tune maker and beat scientist derrick may meets mr fingers or something like that ESSENTIAL as boomkat say |

tell me a bit about your collection of music? is it 95% mp3 or do you actually own most of what you listen to? your music taste is so extensive, im really impressed. |

||||||||
|
|

i saw state 808 open for aphex once..i didn't like it one bit. and i love them on records. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just found prebuild, newbuild seems pretty rare... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, 808 state and aphex toegether... better than ketchup on french fries! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i was a troll. i already have newbuild and i like it |
||||||||

VoodooRay was always overrated imo. I do like the early 808 State material though, and some of his solo stuff has been pretty good too. But he is still far behind the detroit greats. |

voodoo ray is great IMO. Check out the other mixes of it. I remember it being a real special track at the time, you can still drop it in a club and it will blow the house down. Which takes me to the B-side of the original voodoo ray - 'blow your house down' - awesome track. Also check out : - |

"But he is still far behind the detroit greats. " no he's not you must be talking about May, Saunderson, Atkins, UR, Mills, Drexciya.. they are the best remember he did chicago acid, detroit techno and had a big hand co-inventing jungle, he is up there with them, a touch of gold with vibes and sound Hot Lemonade (Cass, Album) 1988 Voodoo Ray (12") 1988 Blow Your House Down (12") 1989 Emotion Electric (12") 1989 FX (12") B-Sides 1989 The Peel Sessions (12") Strange Fruit 1989 Trip City (Cass) 1989 Automanikk (CD, Album) 1 or 2 tracks 1990 The Peel Sessions (CD, Maxi) 1991 The Sunshine EP (12", EP, W/Lbl, Promo) 1991 28 Gun Bad Boy (12", Promo) 1992 Cops (12") Juice Box 1992 28 Gun Bad Boy (CD) 1993 |

I have the "To All Things What They Need" album and I pretty like it. |
||||||||

I'm not saying his music wasn't influential. But the quality of his output was/is simply not as good as people like Carl Craig, Juan Atkins, UR, etc... imo! its not surprising really as these guys are pretty much the cream of the electronic crop, but the reverence Gerald Simpson gets is still somewhat justified I suppose. Musically though, his tracks didn't seem to hit my sweet spots like the other pioneers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can't believe noone's mentioned Proto Acid yet, absolutely phenomenal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not saying talking about music is a waste of time but i dont see the interest of comparing carl craig & a guy called gerald, its leisure time/fun, its not the olympic games... i know purists would hate me for that but he should have re-recorded some of the lost trx (prebuild) with a decent sound... like why some painters are re-doing cleaning mona lisa & michelangelo stuff to restore it originals colours? they could do that in electronic archives too.. (i mean, not painters making acid tracks but) even if it might destroy the original vibe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd love to hear Prebuild re-done/re-recorded. I suspect the original patterns for the drum machines/303's etc are lost now though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He is great, his acid tracks in particular. Blow your house down! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
his latest release, proto acid is pretty good, but it all sounds like it has some kind of 'super stereo' effect on it, which is really off-putting, especially on headphones!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
proto acid, i will give a listen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i LOVE his work on essense: http://www.discogs.com/release/3444 other than that, not really too into his stuff at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like Essence a lot too - drum'n'bass with female vocals, no "mindfuck" (it's more ambiance- and song-oriented) but very warm and quite trippy, perfect for a summer night. haven't heard anything else by him so far though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to answer/reply to myself: idont agree with myself anymore, ok a few tracks of prebuild have a poor sound but the whole archives concept is respected & this release has a very warm sound & i like it a lot as it is ; also i read that the colors on mona lisa have changed over the year, now (well since 200 years or so) the wood had altered the original colors & that how people likes it... |

whatz the difference between owning cds or mp3s? does physical support make you more real, until you realize that the music you listen to is good friend, but always an illusion? *dresses fireproof suit* |

Many tracks are ace, Gerald live (heard him twice) is okay. Good that 808 State is back on track as a group – I guess they weren't on speaking terms for years/a decade. Pacific State vs Specific Hate... |

28 GUN BAD BOY MADE ME BROCK OUT WITH MY COCK OUT |
||||||||

Read an interview with him in this months (Feb 09) Computer Music magazine (UK) in which he states that he uncovered some old DAT tapes with him Aphex Twin and Luke Vibert jamming on them and that he is remastering them and going to sell them on his website. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds nice, can't wait to hear the 3 of them jammin out, and in nice sound quality... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everything up to automanik has some first rate stuff on he is the british derrick may |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not meaning to discredit his juice box stuff, some crackers too, 28 gun bad boy.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like derrick may, Gerald was seminal. They both made loads of crap but they made some good things that made people focus on a certain aspects of a tested formula. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Those early juice box releases are golden to be honest. Boase Up, lord have mercy. |
||||||||

Oh and Derrick May as well. |
