well, i only know one, and it is brilliant, so I shall go with "Rabbit in your headlights"... also one of the better video's ever made.

Toss up between "Rabbit" and "Nursery Rhyme/Breather"

That Richard Ashcroft 'Lonely Souls' one, or the one with Ian Brown on the remix. Both are ace.

np: iPod - last 3 songs: The Hives, Jesse Sykes, Jesus And Mary Chain

"Rabbit in your Headlights" is my favorite (that video is f'ed up!), and then "Lonely Soul". I haven't listened to Never Never Land enough to make a judgement on any of those tracks.

I've gotta go with Lonely Soul as well.

I think mine is either the one with Kool G Rap fron the first album or "Be There", the one with Ian Brown.

"Rabbit" is nowhere near as good as the video, and "Berry Meditation" (the one with Money Mark) is really close, but somehow doesn't add up to its sums for me.

But Guns blazin is tight, especially that first staccato riff right into kool Keith talkin about whatever the fuck he's talkin about

Lonely Souls
Rabbit In Your Headlights
Drums of Death part 1

be there featuring ian brown. i think it was only a single, not on either album...but it's the best thing ian's done in a looong time.

rabbit in your headlights is a close second.

"lonely soul" by a landslide for me. followed by "nursery rhyme/breather"

shaMoxie · **Posted:** Mon Apr 18, 2005 1:14 pm

Guns Blazing, but UNKLE hardly moves me anymore. There was a Creamfields mix from '98 or '99 floating around the net that's quite possibly the best thing James Lavelle's ever touched. Seek this out.

agreed.

Moxie are you talking about that Scratch Perverts mix? I had that awhile ago and forgot all about it. Far better than Lavelle's Fabric mix that's for damn sure.

never, never, land was muchos suckos.

Lavelle's mixes are tricky. There's a Tribal Gathering mix that he did around '96 that's pretty good. It's a lot of Mo' wax & Mo' Wax flavoured stuff. That's commercially available.

But lately he's been spinning mediocre breaks on these Global Underground series. I hate them.

Then there are those "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" & "Big Brother Is Watching" which are pretty dope. But I don't think he did them he just asked someone to do them under the name UNKLE so he could charge outrageous prices for them. Typical James. Then there are the mixes the Scratch Perverts did which are cool, at least what I've heard (Breezeblock 99). The Perverts were in an early version of UNKLE.

Possibly. The mix was snared from Creamfields, then re-played by Peel on BBC radio. Disgusting mix - dude melds B. Bacharach with Air (which ain't much of a reach), then K. Blow to Tricky to Shadow to N. Simone to the ubiquitous Mike D sightings. Break-heavy, but damn-near flawless mixing. I hope to find it again someday.

This Scratch Perverts isn't the Q-Bert vehicle, is it? That demented animated ISP piece? You know, with the lovably insane dentist.

The Scratch Perverts are a UK scratch crew who have no connection to Q-Bert or the Pickles
