My Own Biggest Fan

Here we have more crap music I have made. After this post there will be no more mention of these songs ever again. I am not sure why I am even posting them. I guess I just want to keep the momentum going.

All of this is from about 1998/99. At the time I was making loops in Rebirth and then piecing them together in nTrack Studio, probably the easiest music software I have ever used. But then, I have not used Garageband yet. In the spirit of the last post, I guess I should tell you that this was made on a PII 133MHz, I can’t remember any more specs on it. Yes, I still have it, but the hard drive died in it and I lost a couple unfinished pieces, as well as the masters to these tunes. Not a big loss all in all, except for the Underworld remix, which I still quite like, despite myself. And I guess I still like Na Meme, never mind the crap name.

These pieces were originally posted under the name ezthrust on mp3.com, which doesn’t exist anymore.

On The Lam – the song starts out with so much potential, but then I bludgeon a baseline to death with a boring stick

Rolling – would probably be at home on one of those limp coffee shop lifestyle music compilations. Can you place the bongo sample?

Flyby3 – An interlude on the CD that I had for sale on mp3.com there were two others but they are lost.

Na Meme – My venture into dub territory. Not entirely unsuccessful.

Darling Mandy – many people like this one the best, I will admit that it is the most commercial sounding. Busta, Prince, Matthew Sweet, and some woman from a phone personals line are all sampled here.

Spooky (unwanted) – This is a remix of a DJ Ernest Borgnine song, I was more impressed with his name than with the song. The .wav master copy had frequencies so high that they would make a dog wish it was deaf.

King Of Snake (Sushi Bar in Dublin Mix) – Remix of an Underworld tune for a newsgroup compilation. It sometimes shows up in weird places. For awhile I didn’t even have a copy for myself, but someone managed to get one to me.

There were others, but they were lost in the mp3.com database or trapped on the ill-fated hard drive of pain before I could get them out.
