i went to see a guy called gerald dj in berlin once and it was the most disappointing thing i've ever heard. was a perlon night though so maybe he thought that's what the audience wanted to hear. also, i hadn't been aware that he also made stuff like this:

dunno but i was listening to his essential mix and 1 in the jungle mix yesterday and to me the fundamental difference bwtween the jungle he makes and plays versus the other jungle is the lack of an MC in gerald's jungle. he's not really interested in that. he does samples and wavy female vocals of course, but he's not really bothered about having that dread male toast over the top.

which is strange in a sense cos he's from a sound system backround like everyone else but maybe it's not cos he's from the North so naturally more shy and reserved.

That Moon Jelly song isnt that bad and this is the other side of that perlon 12" which is better and feels more gerald. Its really good actually. Im not opposed to his tech house

It was quite funny when it happened in reverse to The Verve, though.
Was just gonna say that. But they can hardly complain, they just took an old tune and put some vocals over the top of it and then released it as their own. Like I said in that thread that everyone ignored, sampling is one thing, but just putting out someone else's song as your own is a different kettle of fish. So the money from that song went to the person who wrote it and yet they moaned like fuck... but seeing as that song raised their profile way higher than it had been previously, which in turn led to their album selling way more than it would have otherwise done, I still think that they did pretty well off the back of that song. They should shut up and be pleased that they didn't have to pay all the sales money from the album to Andrew Loog Oldham as well as the money from the single itself...
