Circus Warp - Tommy B 1992

[aliguana23]

edit: found this track! for more tracks on the Tommy B tape, see below

Heya all

I've been trying the ID the tracks in the 1992 Tommy B mixtape "Ain't no cure for this". I've seen ID postings for the other Circus Warp tapes, but not this one.

Anyhow, I've been posting the IDs on this soundcloud as I find them, got a fair few:

https://soundcloud.com/watermouse-1/tommy-b-circus-warp

there is one track that *everyone* asks about, and I can't for the life of me find the ID. It's a tribal track on side 2 of the tape, with a female spoken word thing over the top. If anyone has any clue what it is I can finally put this thing to bed, cos it's been bugging me since 1992. (starts about 57:46 on that upload)

Incidentally, Tommy B has no idea what tracks are on this mix either lol. Not surprised, it was almost 30 years ago. I can't remember what I did this morning lol

help me Obi-Wan Kenobies, you are my last hope :)

lyrics (spoken)

Music so pure and moving turns me on
so sexy
I wanna touch You
move to the rhythm
groove to the rhythm
rhythm is motion
motion like water lets free your inhibitions
in my river life begins

life is rhythm
rhythm is life
rhythm turns me on
so sexy

[BUNKERHEADZ]

This sounds so like it was produced by Youth, a bit like his Dubby Tribal House style from that period...

That female vocal @ 2:30 in yer clip was used in another tune around that time I cant recall the name of, perhaps a remix?

Fuckin doing me had in LOL :mad:

[BUNKERHEADZ]

Alright, that sample = Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares - Ghel Moma

https://www.discogs.com/Marcel-Cellier-Pr%C3%A9sente-Le-Myst%C3%A8re-Des-Voix-Bulgares-Volume-3/master/247230

Thats from 1989, so your cut is deffo not older than that, not the first time these Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares got sampled for House trax btw :)

[aliguana23]

amazing! ok that narrows the search *a lot*. I'll let you know what I dig up. Thanks a million :)

[aliguana23]

incidentally, I've met/talked to lots of people over the years who owned this tape, or remember it fondly from back then. if anyone is feeling nostalgic (it's almost 30 years ago!) they'll probably come here looking for IDs so here is the track listing I've got so far (to save you starting from scratch) A5 and B6 are the most "what track is that?" requests :)

I wouldnt have figured it out until I saw your ID

this one is familiar too but I cant think what it is
10) ----- piano house track?

[aliguana23]

b6) Mind Over Rhythm - Kubital Footstorm (Global Beatmix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5R_nVLSaQM

https://www.discogs.com/Rhythm-Of-Life-Kubital-Footstorm-EP/release/826742

[aliguana23]

off topic, but I hate the way people named their music back then. You'd get a track with someone singing "ooo baby i love your eyes" and the actual track would be called "Subway traincar Gonna Jack you (dubbing milkshake mix)". Call it "I love your eyes" ffs :D

Yeah, annoying as fuck, lots of old IDs were often like that :p

[aliguana23]

yeah, it was the Mystere Des Viox Bulgares hint you gave me wot did it. I would *never* have found it without that, so all the credit goes to you 10/10. Thanks a million.

[BUNKERHEADZ]

Just good old team work, thats how we roll here, so welcome aboard m8 ;) :thumbsup:

[aliguana23]

ok that's confusing though, cos the UK release has a different name to the Belgian release

Belgium - Rhythm Of Life - Kubital Footstorm EP https://www.discogs.com/Rhythm-Of-Life-Kubital-Footstorm-EP/release/826742

UK - Mind Over Rhythm - Kubital Footstorm https://www.discogs.com/Mind-Over-Rhythm-Kubital-Footstorm-The-Origin/release/221013

just glad that the Belgian release had all the sample and vocal credits attached.

Original is Mind Over Rhythm, released on R.O.L. (Rhythm Of Life) so in the good old tradition of fuckin things up with label or ep names this one is like that.

The Waffles named the artist after the label name

[BUNKERHEADZ]

Fun thing is I already had the track in my digi archive, just nabbed a flac on Seek as better quality ;)

[aliguana23]

*cough*need*cough*

I mean... I may have to buy the vinyl. After all this time it would be rude not to.

I cant share in public but there might be appearing something in your PM box somehow all of sudden by coincidence ;)

[aliguana23]

I have no idea what you mean. honest :p

[BUNKERHEADZ]

I have no idea what you mean. honest :p

Me neither LOL :D

[aliguana23]

Brady's post got me thinking, maybe Tommy used other B-sides too. First record I checked bingo!


B1) - Acorn Arts - Mother (b-side to silence)


https://youtu.be/qCn1HFuLn0k

[aliguana23]

and as luck would have it, the "piano house track" from side B was also off the Acorn Arts EP, track called Body

https://youtu.be/0hBdfrsXyN8

[aliguana23]

found the intro, (before a1) it's the start of this track:

Industrial - Only A Dream (1990) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUowWesXO7c

(Videodrome sample)

but then it switches to A1) Isolation track which I still haven't found yet, despite seeming like a poppy charty song

[serfos]

on the A-side 5) ----- ooooo hahahaha?

Some Other People - Ghost house [Infinite Mass]

https://www.discogs.com/Some-Other-People-Voices-In-My-Head/release/156487

[aliguana23]

genius! you're an absolute star for finding that. Amazing. Some people will be *really* happy lol

[aliguana23]

it's the original LP mix though, not the Infinite Mass mix.

https://youtu.be/lNUQvfGd5c8

Still, gold-medal standard spotting. Thank you :)

No probs mate, happy to help :thumbsup:

Correct that's the link I've posted, [Infinite Mass] refers to the label not the mix ;)

Also, try the Eddy Fingers Remix, its an absolute belter

14) Industrial - The Gauntlet

https://www.discogs.com/Industrial-Industrial/release/55652

[aliguana23]

thanks a million! I was looking at that Industrial release the other day (thats how I found the intro to tape side a) but I completely spaced and missed that.

The way it's going I think we might actually complete this tape before the 30th anni. Maybe I can convince Tommy B to make a new version :)
