Is the rave history book being re-written? In the hands of silly beggars
like ShitmatÆs Henry Collinz it seems jungle tekno in its heyday was
nothing more than a rhythmic diarrhoea spattered with superfluous sirens
and unintelligible patois, with no original nuance, creative edge or
direction beyond that û i.e., the infernal racket your parents always
insisted it was û as they exaggerate all the stereotypes until it
becomes completely meaningless; just detritus; just shit. At least
thatÆs one way of looking at it. Another would be that the likes of
Collinz are simply re-injecting some of the fun that was sucked out of
hardcore by jungleÆs darker excesses, mutating those excesses and
typical genetic characteristics into the sphere of the totally comic
book and ridiculous.
So, we get this kind of scatological noise-obliteration û part
hypersonic nostalgia-mindmelt aided by laughing gas, part stoned/drunken
studio goof and complete geekboy indulgence thatÆs funny in a
five-second, disposable way and mildly offensive to the old purists, but
not very (basically, you can take it or leave it). The idea in principle
is to take the old æBabylon BadbwoyÆ a capella and rinse it out ten
times over a splurge of double-speed, funk-devoid snares, nasal
membrane-exploding gabba four-stomp, cockney MCs shouting obscenities,
old fashioned police sirens, ska-punk guitars, Boney MÆs æRivers of
BabylonÆ, æGolden BrownÆ at the wrong speed, æEye of the TigerÆ, the
Mastermind, Benny Hill and South Bank Show theme-tunes and the æSix
Million Ways to DieÆ bassline. æOn a Ragga TipÆ is sampled for æOn a
Ragga ShitÆ. Geddit?
One track (æAce of Base BabylonÆ) is simply the a cappella played over
an instrumental of Ace of BassÆs æAll That She WantsÆ. Rude! æJackson$
BabylonÆ drops it out a Wacko Jacko medley. Ruffneck! The last track is
called æRun Out of Ideas BabylonÆ, and, indeed, ten tracks begins to
push the old stupidity threshold somewhat. If Sound Murderer and SK-1Æs
æRewind RecordsÆ was a smouldering homage to apocalyptic ghost riders of
1994, this is the æcomedyÆ spoof with zero respeck for musical sacred
cows. You donÆt really need them to draw you a picture but they do
anyway: the cover depicts a cartoon gun-toting, spliff-burning, puffa
jacket-wearing lion trampling broken vinyl in a record shop
(Blackmarket, perchance?), a whistle round its neck and a ring
emblazened with ôAmenö on one claw. ItÆs not really a joke that works on
multiple levels.
