Finally got around to doing something with some tracks in this style I've been collecting in the past couple of years...

Hourglass (December 2014)

OK, so I finally got around to re-recording/mastering my first D&B demo from 2003, Cut Deep, as I was never really happy with the original- it was my first, it was rushed, and you could hear that.

Despite that, lots of people really like it & I get asked to make it available online fairly regularly- and I wanted a version of it that I could listen to without critique or cringing, so... :)

The tracks are the reason so many remember it- the majority being Subtitles Records with late teens & twenties catalogue numbers... at this time, when Teebee wasn't slaying it with original tracks like 'Evil Ways' & 'Return to Forever', he was doing nearly unmatched appropriations of classics from other genres- with his countrymen Future Prophecies perhaps among the few others that could- and releasing other's material that would become standards & blueprints for the sound of D&B for years to follow, like pre-Sinthetix Rob F & Impulse featured here. 

Tied together with a surprisingly pleasant early effort from Counterstrike (in comparison to their later work, at least >:) & some rare gems from Troubled Minds & Usual Suspects. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did getting reacquainted with these exceptional plates!
