Various Artists - The Best Of Desert Storm: Live Jungle

 

Well. It probably seems that this thread should've been put in the 'Releases' forum, but before it can, some serious work in this forum needs to be done.

 

This album is a tad perplexing. Although listed in the database here, the vinyl edition just doesn't seem to correspond to the CD release. A rather unusual format for an album, rather than consisting of individual tracks it is built up of 'moments' from various Desert Storm events from during 1994, which (quite expertly) capture the vibe and feel of the jungle scene and the context in which these tunes come alive.

 

Here's the thing: none of the tracks have proper track details! Each one is simply labelled with the name of the DJ performing the set (see here). In addition I understand many of the tunes contained here are otherwise unreleased dubplates - such as "The Burial (amen mix)" previously mentioned by Haste and the "..short motherfuckers betta have your I.D.'s..." tune that was previously posted as one of Logic's Boatload of '93-'95 jungle IDs. And... not only that, but many of the tracks are mixture of 2 or even 3 different tunes!

 

Let me break it down:

 

CD 1

 

1. DJ Brockie feat. MC Dett

Mendoza - "I dont wanna be somebody's accident" (1994 remix)

 

An unreleased tune? I have the original - from 1992 (?) but I can't remember the cat #. There were no track details on my copy - just a double sided 'Mendoza' logo.

 

2. DJ Ron feat. MC 5-0

Jo - R-Type

Nut Nut - The Rumble

Boogie Times Tribe - Dark Stranger pt III

 

3. Darren Jay feat. MC 5-0, & MC Navigator

Engineers Without Fears - Spiritual Aura

 

4. Jumping Jack Frost feat. MC Moose

(a Potential Bad Boy tune?) - ("...you short motherfuckers betta have your ID...")

Shy FX feat. Gunsmoke - Gangsta Kid

 

Pretty sure that's P.B.B. - cause it's quite similar to Potential Bad Boy feat. MC Det - Rollin' . On the other hand, it also sounds a little like Shy FX - Nasty ... so...

 

5. Mickey Finn feat. MC 5-0, MC Moose & MC Navigator

Urban Shakedown feat. DBO General - Calling The People/Arsonist (Mickey Finn Special)

 

Well... this is certainly not released. A combination of the two tracks "Calling The People" and "Arsonist" it also features the sung female lyrics "...Micky Finn the DJ.."etc

 

6. DJ Randall feat. MC Moose & MC Navigator (@Roller, Saxon Sound)

Renk Cru - Passing Me By

Noise Of Art - Rollin' Deep (Smokey Joe Remix)

DJ Rap - Digable Bass

 

7. Grooverider feat. MC 5-0, MC Navigator, Flinty Badman & Deman Rocker

Renegade - Something I Feel

Noise Of Art - Rollin' Deep

Kings Of The Jungle - Lovable

 

8. Brockie feat. MC Dett (@Return Of The Gods?)

(unknown) - ("ooh baby"/"Jungle")

(unknown) - ("...bay-yeh...")

 

Another unreleased tune - is this the "Junglistic Experience (Remix)" that was mentioned by Haste in the Unreleased Dubplates forum?

 

As for the second tune... well if ANYONE has ANY info on this tune WHATSOEVER then I am begging to HEAR ALL ABOUT IT!!!! About my MOST-WANTED tune id EVER, I am pretty sure it was released sometime mid 1993, as I have it a number of times on tapes from perhaps July 93 to March/April 1994. I once called up Kool F.M. to demand a reel-out - but I was just too slow on the phone.... oh well! HOWEVER - they did give me some details about it being the Long Storm E.P. on Royal Dance Records or something, but as I haven't been able to match any corresponding details in the RDB database, or anywhere else for that matter, I really just don't know!

 

9. Darren Jay feat. MC 5-0, MC Navigator & MC Moose

Blackstar - Champion DJ

Trinity - Gangsta

 

The CD says that this is DJ Ron on this track - I was sure from listening that it was Darren Jay though. Maybe I have got it wrong - any one else confirm?

 

10. Darren Jay feat. MC 5-0

Urban Shakedown feat. DBO General - Some Justice '95 / Arsonist (Darren Jay Special)

 

Another mutated version of "Arsonist" - this time combined with "Some Justice '95" - an unreleased dubplate I assume?

 

11. Darren Jay feat. MC 5-0, MC Moose & Navigator

Tom & Jarry - Maxi(mun) Style Part 2

 

12. Jumping Jack Frost feat. MC 5-0, MC Navigator

Leviticus - The Burial (Some amen styled remix)

Brainkillers - Scarface

 

The unreleased 'amen' mix of "The Burial"?

 

13. Jumping Jack Frost feat. MC Dett

Roni Size - It's A Jazz Thing

Peshay - The Vocal Tune

 

14. Mickey Finn feat. MC 5-0 MC Navigator & MC Moose (@Bagleys)

Prizna feat. Demoltion Man - Fire

 

15. Mickey Finn feat. MC 5-0 MC Navigator (last tune of the night???)

Nut Nut - Special Dedication

 

16. Grooverider feat. MC Moose

(unknown) - ("...i don't want to be...")

Tom & Jerry - Maxi(mun) Style Part 1

 

Right - who can ID this track then? I do know it, I have always known it... I have even always had this unconscious assumption that it is a Grooverider tune but I don't know why I think that... it does seem to have his mark over it though. It's a very powerful tune and I seem to remember it being played on Kool F.M. pretty often over the latter half of summer 1994. Unreleased?

 

17. Grooverider feat. MC 5-0 DMS & Boneman X - Sweet Vibrations

The Dream Team - Over You [a.k.a. "Yeh Man (Original Mix)"]

Krome & Time - The Licence

 

18. DJ Randall feat. ???

 

19. DJ Randall feat. ???

 

Apparently this CD has 19 tracks on it but the copy my friend let me have doesn't seem to have these two on it. So no idea what they contain. Anyone else?

 

CD 2

 

In addition, I haven't got my hands on the second CD as yet but will have to go pester my mate for the other one again... funny especially as this was the actual disc out of the two that I wanted to hear! Hopefully anyone else can fill in the blanks here? After all, this is why I put it in the Tune ID section..!

 

1. DARREN JAY

3. DJ RANDALL

4. DJ BROCKIE

5. DJ BROCKIE

As I mentioned above, this album is quite perplexing and hopefully we can get the tracklisting for this 100% accurate & confirmed. Maybe someone else can advise on the differences/similarities between the CD and the vinyl editions (is there a tape edition?).

 

Thanks, laters!

[Logic]

 

Thanks for all the hard work listing that stuff out -- it's going to be a nightmare trying to figure out a way to list this CD properly (if we even want to try!)

 

I don't have the CD so I can't really help on IDing the tunes. I would need some soundclips to work them out

[haste]

OK, I can help a lot here

 

Remind me if I dont' reply to this tomorrow

 

No time now and this one will take a while

[jj]

Soundclips would be very helpful.

Hows about doing a swap?

Haste, are you sure it's this one? If Rav is saying they say "it's the 3rd one" then it could be from the other remixes release. Particularily the DJ Ron mix - that was the one they all loved to play.

I see the database puts it as the 2nd mix, but if I remember right the labels were stuck on the vinyls incorrectly!

Also, are you sure its this one?

 

What about that extra VIP mix of "The Way"? Rav if your still reading this one's with that really good staccato drum pattern on the opening section.

Definitely...Moose does say it's the third mix, but he's wrong.

 

Lessons one: never listen to what MCs say, they chat bullshit

Yeah, if it's the track on the LP that I'm thinking of then it's definitely the SS tune. Starts with some ascending beeps and the full vocal on its own. Drops into a kinda disjointed drum pattern and gets the rewind straight away. Mixes into Renegade Snares from what I can remember

Rav, as you are still there could you possibly scan over your CD to check if there are any other tunes there - for the 1st CD that I have, many of the tracks are comprised of 2, or even 3 different tunes!

 

actually, I have been a bit extra on my little break down, a couple of the tunes I have listed you can only hear the briefest moments of...!

 

Any extra details would be much appreciated, from me at least!
