A Guy Called Gerald Appreciation

[scspkr99]

So I was thinking about who's made the biggest contribution to EDM in the UK and think Gerald Simpson has to have a great shout

he gave us







With a ton of great stuff inbetween (and some stuff that falls a bit short tbf). The man's a don

sorry if a repost

Legend!

But off the top of my head, Steve Gurley (Foul Play -> Groove Chronicles) and DJ Zinc (Ganja Cru -> er, DJ Zinc) have probably done more crucial stuff across more eras...

John Peel!

Gurley wasn't anything to do with Groove Chronicles was he? Badman though.

Aphex has surely gotta be considered. Agree on A Guy Called Gerald, not a huge fan of his acid stuff, but Black Secret Technology & 28 Gun Bad Boy are two of my favourite albums.

Gotta say, might be considered an odd choice, but New Order too maybe?

These guys definately made the most influential album for me

Mark Pritchard is definitely worthy of consideration as well. Aphex is another good shout

Beg your pardon, I'm a retard.

Appreciated! Also, Brian Eno, Coldcut and the Prodigy for the UK. And things might not have gone the way they did without Okenfold, Rampling and Holloway taking pills in ibiza and starting clubs like Shoom in the UK.

And from the USA- Francis Grasso definitely deserves more recognition.

Good shout on Coldcut

Still play this album regularly. Lost my original issue over the years, the 2008 remaster sounds different... "better" but different. I see the original LP on discogs quite a bit though, gonna pick it up sometime.

Black Secret Technology is one of my most favorite albums ever. This track always gets me, Life Unfolds Mysteries:



This one too, The Reno:



Shit, pretty much the whole entire album...
