Pork Recordings Complete!

More than one years since the last post, I decree my Pork Recordings discography blog COMPLETED!

I know you've heard this one before one year ago when I decided that the last missing piece, the Dub Plates From The Lamp 03 compilation, was either non-existent or unobtainable. Now the album was miraculously donated by certain gentleman of russian descent who doesn't wish to be named and the case is closed. Some of the 54.000 visitors may also notice a slight improvement in the 320kbps re-up of Dub Plates From The Lamp 002. The rest of the world's population is invited to experience the sound of Hull's best electronic label.

One question remains - is there life after Pork? If you have in mind any deceased record label with roots in the 1990's that deserves an electronic tombstone the size of A Private Collection, don't hesitate to use the comments section. My music collection is opened to your suggestions.

Stay tuned!

Yennah - Red Noise (1998 Freerange Records)

Breakbeats'n'jazz in the late 90's fashion on this nice little album by Sam Kynaston and Mark Wadsworth (later known as Square One or Mettle Music). First album released on Freerange Records. This is the 2000 US release on Shadow Records and includes Bullitnuts remix of Are We Being Clear?

Beatifik - The Blue Window (2000 Passion Jazz)

If you're gifted kid from a family with great musical background, you inevitably end up jamming with your parents. If your father is Roger Odell of Shakatak fame, the jam may be as good as The Blue Window, laid-back smooth jazz session flavoured with Jamie's keys and Cheyne Towers' elastic bass. Includes smooth version of Barracuda from Audiomontage album (see below).

Audiomontage - Snert (1999 Freerange)

If you happen to be one of the 106.000 visitors of Future Vintage (yeah!), you already know I'm sucker for anything with Jamie O'Dell signature on it. Be it pre-Domestic Science Jimpster stuff, his early remixes or early Freerange releases, I just can't help it. Audiomontage was Jamie's guise used for less artsy material, supposed to be the lighter side of Jimpster. Snert is an assorted collection of catchy tunes with cool breakbeats, sci-fi samples and progressive jazz club potential. Does the title mean "Snot Nosed Egotistical Rude Teen" or "Dutch version of pea soup"? I'll leave it up to you.
