Release
date: July 97 (no date given)
Format:
LP, CD, MC.
This
album came out just as Moving Shadow issued it's 100th release, and
serves as a reminder of the labels past achievements as well as heralding
the newer artists who will take the label into its 200th release. The
first CD contains predominantly unreleased material spanning founder
artists and newer recruits - all people who have contributed enormously
to the status now enjoyed by the label. The second consists of landmarks
from the more recent catalogue (since 1995) - the Desert Island Discs
of any breakbeat aficionado, the building blocks of our reputation.
We chose to leave earlier material off as we intend to do the best of
that era at a later date. Finally, a third bonus CD completes the package,
specially mixed by Rob and including his personal notes on what each
track meant to him. In tandem with this is the mix offered by his musical
partner and alter ego, Goldie.
The
first CD opens in spectacular style with their very special tribute
to The House of The Shadows, 'The Shadow', the international chart buster
and seminal track released at the end of April 97. The version here
is as interpreted by Rick Smith of Underworld. Later in the selection
comes the flipside to the two Grandaddies of Drum 'n' Bass, 'Distorted
Dreams' by young whippersnapper Dominic Angas (of Dom & Roland and Current
Affairs) and Rob.
