So the ID3 tags are gonna be a bit weird for a while.  Anyway, here&#8217;s a nice track I picked up not too long ago, I&#8217;d been meaning to get more on this label after tracking down the incredibly elusive and awesome <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Spaced-Deeper\/release\/253383\">2 Track version of &#8220;Deeper&#8221;<\/a>, which I play out all the time even in non-rave sets.  This EP isn&#8217;t as good as that EP but is still pretty nice &#8211; the A side has a strong piano tune with heavily compressed\/noisy amens and heavy 4beat underpinning. It&#8217;s a bit more anthem-y than these B side tracks, but this B1 track is nice too &#8211; solid beats, some piano, a bit of ragga,  everything you&#8217;d expect from a 92-93 track.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Free-Spirit-Illusion-EP\/release\/263981\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/free_spirit.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<del datetime=\"2012-04-24T18:33:14+00:00\">Free Spirit &#8211; Optical Illusion<\/del> download removed, now for sale on beatport! <br \/><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2085-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/Free%20Spirit%20-%20Optical%20Illusion.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Free%20Spirit%20-%20Optical%20Illusion.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/Free%20Spirit%20-%20Optical%20Illusion.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been kind of slow to upload lately since my main PC died, I can rip vinyl from my laptop but the software I wrote which auto-tags \/ labels \/adds artwork to mp3s the way I like isn&#8217;t on this machine.
