We At Grain Festival

about

This is a nod to the other half of our roots, Skit’s former band, Ehrlich Bullet. Recorded on a 4-track TEAC cassette deck sometime late in 1987, it features his vocal over percussion and a processed mix of performances from the day of The Grain Festival, 20th September 1987. We did this remix to mark the 33rd anniversary in 2020, adding some extra drums and clips from the 1988 “Grain-Aid!” compilation tape, so it retains much of the character and rawness of those far off days. The easiest way to credit everyone who’s sampled on it is to reprint the lyrics, coz that’s what it’s all about. Our gratitude to every single one of them...

Later released on “COMMUNITAS: VOLUME I” (Music & Elsewhere, M&E MB-005)

Este es un guiño a la otra mitad de nuestras raíces, la antigua banda de Skit, Ehrlich Bullet. Grabado en una platina de casete TEAC de 4 pistas a fines de 1987, presenta su voz sobre percusión y una mezcla procesada de actuaciones del día de The Grain Festival, el 20 de septiembre de 1987. Hicimos este remix para conmemorar el 33.er aniversario en 2020, agregando algunos tambores y clips adicionales de “Grain-Aid!” de 1988. cinta recopilatoria, por lo que conserva gran parte del carácter y la crudeza de aquellos días lejanos. La forma más fácil de acreditar a todos los que han sampleado es reimprimir la letra, porque de eso se trata. Nuestro agradecimiento a cada uno de ellos...
