Hurling loud sonic bricks out of a beat-up Vauxhall Carlton Here's a gritty drum & bass mix of Oasis's Wonderwall, recorded some time in 1996. The pedestrians of Watford were appalled.

Recording notes: Excuse the out of sync-ness of this, it was all done with cassettes. Wonderwall was taped off Radio One in 1995 (with occasional drop-outs) and dubbed onto a Tascam 244 four-track; echo effect by Alesis Multiverb LT looping back into the Tascam; waves-on-shore sound is SH-101 filtered noise; also the SH-101 plays a filtered LFO tone; a rough two bar loop of Skanna's 'This Way' sampled into the Akai S612 from a tape of a tape of pirate station Touchdown FM; "Ahahh!" and car horns from the end of Big Apple Production Vol.II; Björk screams "This is it!" from 'It's Oh So Quiet'; more Big Apple Productions SFX; Dr. Alimantado vocal samples "What the time you have there, dread?" from Poison Flour, and "then what when a gunman buck me up round the corner" from 'Gimmie Mi Gun' (both resampled from 'Dred Bass' by Dead Dred); a snatch of Pulp's 'Sorted for Es and Whizz' taken from the same Radio One cassette to finish; ...and please can someone ID the buzzy booming deep sawtooth sound effect for me cause I forgot what tape I sampled it from.
