The Asylum/Oldskool thread

Anyone got a rip/link to this compilation from Red Records? -

I had a cassette and I'm pretty sure it was this but don't see the tape version listed on discogs, lost it ages ago and would love to hear it again.

Jaysus talk about goosebumps.... just had a quick listen over some tracks and it is the one I had on tape back then, really takes me back to sitting on the 42B or 28 from Coolock into work with this playing on the walkman and thinking about the weekend gone and the next one to come... life really was about getting over one weekend and looking forward to the next!

I actually played tracks off this tape at a party we used to have down near or on Marlborough St. Some mates of mine were in a band and they rented a room in an old Georgian building there and the room was soundproofed - we had no decks so we improvised and used two CD players and a tape deck connected into an amp and guitar amps... We used to go back there at first after the Temple of Sound or UFO for a few smokes etc, just a few us, maybe 10 or so but that quickly became I'd say almost 100 or more people and got to the point where we had to man the door as to who could or couldn't come in. There was a dealer living also a couple of floors above so that was obviously quite handy :pac: Mad how we got away with changing tracks on CD players and tape decks without mixing but no one cared, all too out of it and happy to be still dancing somewhere and we'd generally move on to mix tapes as the night progressed. It only lasted a few weeks before the garda intervened and the landlord said we couldn't do it anymore but by fck were they great parties, I bought my decks then a few months later.

Aside from the Crowd Control comp, some of the other frequent tunes at that party...

Good few off the 2nd House of Limbo compilation, such as...





I had also bought the Themes From Vapourspace CD around then so naturally Gravitational Arch of 10 had to be played and was generally the first track when everyone was in and the door was shut.... the opening build in this track in unreal and it never failed to make the place go mental once it kicked in...



Had the CD single then of Positive Education and Intensities was a bonus track which got thrown in the odd time too, not enough though come to think of it and I'd still say this is in my top 5 probably tracks of all time, an absolute gem.
