referencing Toxygene (12", 33 ⅓ RPM, Single) 12 IS 652
Some real otherworldly-sounding atmospheric breaks on this one! Even bordering on the avant-garde (at least for my new-millennium ears). Very B-grade cult classic sci-fi vibes. The Kris Needs Up For A Fortnight Mix of Toxygene really amps things up, delivering a straight-up intergalactic techno rave stomper. This needs to see the inside of a warehouse ASAP, maybe with some Spicelab accompanying. Aliens unite! -
Edited 3 months agoAm I understanding this correctly, that the absolutely best piece of content related to the clusterf*ck drama of this song, the phenomenal Ganja Kru remix, got mastered for vinyl, had a test press acetate made, and then abandoned? Is this really the only version of this jungle banger that ever made it to wax? How is this possible? -
all im sayin is that whoever has this is lucky -

Not one of the Orb’s best, it’s a rejected Oxygene remix, the Kris Needs is a furious stomper but the highlight is Way Out West’s techno rework bursting with energy, enthusiasm and imagination. -

The Kris Need 'Up For A Fortnight Mix' is an absolute monster of a rave anthem. -
referencing Toxygene (CD, Single, CD2) CIDX 652
The sample of car horn blaring followed by the sound of tires screeching and man saying something like "now, just wait a minute!" is sampled from a 1958 LP called Sounds in Space on the RCA/Victor label. The LP features narrator Ken Nordine. -
Edited 2 years agoToxygene which was originally meant as a remix of Jean Michel Jarre's 'Oxygene 8', JMJ was not fond of the version since it only contained some fragments of the original. Dr Alex Patterson wasn't having any of it and slagged off JMJ in the music press and took his production, released the remix as his own track and cheekily called it Toxygene.
Anyhow, the Original (& Toxic Genes) version(s) is quite the stomper, even for its tempo at 110. You have the characteristic wide soundscapes filled with various samples & sounds gathered up from the Patterson audio library.
Fila Brazilia does a chunky breaks interpretation which is quite groovy. Kris Needs goes for his usual hard acid techno direction and uses the original sounds quite sparsely. Way Out West creates a hard yet proggy tech-trancer using a lot of the original sounds to good use. This remix sounds as fresh today, 10 years on after it was released and it still finds a spot in most of my sets.
