This came out in about 1993 and is based around a HUGE reworking of “Peter Gunn”. Which is obviously anthemic in so many ways – my Dad was\/is a huge Duane Eddy<\/b> fan and I think the only times we have bonded musically were when we both went out to buy the Art of Noise’s<\/b> relick of Peter Gunn, plus the time when he came into my bedroom while I was playing “This Nations Saving Grace” by The Fall<\/b> and had a great chat about how cool all the twangy guitars were.<\/p>\n
The riddim is reminiscent of Shaggy’s<\/b> “Oh Carolina” and it’s all top party stuff – Bugs Bunny samples, lyrics about girls and the rest. But just towards then end, Mr Sylva throws the following into the mix:<\/p>\n “Charlie says: ‘I love that goody goody’ In obvious reference to the 93 hit by The Prodigy<\/b>. That freaked me right out when I first heard it, because I assumed it was a JA release, which would mean ‘the massive’ getting into pop-hardcore down Kingston way. Which perhaps they did anyway, but Signet are actually based in New York. Interesting nonetheless.<\/p>\n In fact, seeing The Prodigy at Brixton Academy in the early to mid 90s was my first real exposure to drum ‘n’ bass iirc. I think they had Grooverider <\/b>DJ-ing as support, and there was much confusion and sitting down from most of the audience, with a few loners half-stepping gleefully to the breaks. I got really into it but the rest of the crew I was with really <\/i>hated the experience. Just as I was standing up to make a dramatic break with the past<\/i> and to launch myself publically into a new era of junglism<\/i>, the Rider came off and the Prodge came on. Isn’t that always the way?<\/p>\n This in turn reminds me of another anecdote, ripped straight from the Rough Guide to Reggae<\/i> (an essential purchase which is about to come out in a new edition). Fashion were one of the dancehall reggae labels to embrace early jungle big time (indeed, they had previously been the home of people like General Levy<\/b> and released his seminal “Heat”).<\/p>\n Alongside that, they also released “Jungle Bungle” by Starkey Banton<\/b> in which he dismisses it all as:<\/p>\n “One bag a noise and a whole heap a sample This came out in about 1993 and is based around a HUGE reworking of “Peter Gunn”. Which is obviously anthemic in so many ways – my Dad was\/is a huge Duane Eddy fan and I think the only times we have bonded musically were when we both went out to buy the Art of Noise’s …<\/p>\n
