Roskilde Festival
On the record "Black Secret Technology" the Manchester wonder-boy Gerald
Simpson - alias A Guy Called Gerald - bends and stretches voices, beats
and bass lines out into time and space. The album, which can best be
described as a hybrid of techno and jungle for the feet and brain has been
called the best record of the year in sections of the UK music press. It
rises above other jungle-like efforts because of its pioneering
originality. The speeded-up breakbeats and sounds really are "in tune"
with each other - they have almost the same function as African talking
drums. A Guy Called Gerald released the pioneering 1988 minimalistic, acid
house album "Hot Lemonade" and later "Automanikk" in 1990. He played an
excellent set at Roskilde Festival 1990 - in his acid house days. |
