When I was trying to make a video of stills of Lytton’s face set to the Henry’s Cat theme tune it took me a billion hours on the Windows equivalent.

The free software that came with my Mac! iMovie or something. I spent approximately 45 minutes on the whole thing: 30 mins to work out in my befuddled state that dragging and dropping some pictures onto the thing at the bottom worked just fine + ten mins finding rest of the pictures + 1 min plonking all the screenwipes inbetween them + 4 mins uploading it all to youtube. EASY. I’m sure if I’d been arsed I could have stopped it zooming in on all the pictures like that but it turned out ok anyway :)

“surely not just a rip out and pitch up job on the original? ” even if it was they wouldn’t admit it. just like the ‘this mortal coil’ sample/not-sample :-/

Good work on the video! ;)

I think what’s happening here tho is a hardening up of the original’s softcore sensation. Not that this version is particularly hard or even much faster than the original but it’s definitely less sexy imo, and that is a bad thing!

So I wasn’t enamoured with this at the time plus they’d started off with a much heavier, hardcore Beltram/Mentasm-inspired sound in ‘20,000 Hardcore Members’ and ‘There Is No Law’ which I liked. The latter features a sample of ‘Purple Haze’ but the voice sounds too feminine to be Hendrix, surely not just a rip out and pitch up job on the original? I heard the Manix remix of ‘Temple Of Dreams’ before the version that charted so am biased but much prefer the turbo-charged e-guzzling former there too.
