Abstract Minds EP

This is a pretty interesting EP I also picked up in London recently… I’m not sure if it even counts as hardcore, more breakbeat techno stuff. The “Thoughts of Mind” track should sound familiar, i.e. it has the same bell sample as LTJ Bukem “Music”. Originally I saw some threads where people claimed this was the source of the sample. This would make sense given that Discogs and RDB say this single came out in 1991, and “Music” didn’t come out until 1993. However, it seems maybe that sample came from a 3rd source and this track in fact sampled it from “Music” or the original source. The pitched down hihats “burned” into the Bell loop make this seem possible. Also, despite RDB and Discogs claiming the record came out in 1991, I can’t find any “proof” that this single came out then (nothing on the record, other releases by the artist, etc) – it could have just as easily been a slightly later obscurity.

    Unfortunately, the first tune is not as good as ‘Music’.

    Knowing Bukem, Music could have been on dubplate for a long while.

    Where is the original Music sample from?

    I not to mention my pals happened to be reading the good items
    found on your web site and so instantly got an awful feeling I had not
    thanked the blog owner for those strategies. All the ladies

    are already for that reason stimulated to study

    them and have in effect quite simply been using those things.
    Many thanks for simply being well kind and for

    making a

    decision on variety of tremendous tips most people are really desperate
    to

    know about. My very own sincere apologies
    for

    not expressing gratitude to you earlier.
