James Holden
The Holden mix of Janiro is a crime against humanity.
Absolute tripe. The Lemon8 mix is better, and thats not saying much.

zackster the original is crime against humanity even even before holden spunked on the vinyl to play. It is like yuppy post-rock band explosions in the sky deciding to make sad indie house. Diabolical! Holden at least tries to redeem it with fake reggae techniques, hence i said to dan put it in even more of the delay.
Can’t lie; I absolutely love the original and the Rui Da Silva mixes.
Holden did used to play at slide in oxford. Not sure I would say he was resident. He was a student at St Johns College studying maths i think.
He certainly had trouble mixing tracks together
I did used to go to slide. There is an outside chance Ed is telling the truth.
Fuck me Flares, you’ve really excelled yourself. You are a pathetically unfunny, lying cunt.
I actually love this

Another top tune from his “lost it” period. Fantastic title too. He’s quality.

Only track I can bare to listen to post ‘I Have Put Out The Lights’ is this (and surprise surprise it has that James Holden “sound”: -
My fake ID of Spongiform Lifeblood that then got taken seriously on just about every other forum was my greatest GU moment.
ScottBailey Best tune Cocoon have put out.
Wasily even stuck it on Youtube
Was it Fadas who came up with Breaks & Banter? And was said track the Invisible Inc. thing Sasha used as an intro in 2003?
It’s those synth stabs at the end. Minimal Xylophone vibes.

It was a Nathan Fake track I think.
ScottBailey Boss.
That Holden mix of Janeiro completely sucks. He can’t have come out with many duller and less eventful tracks in that era? It was all about the original and Rui Da Silva mix.
Break in the clouds is his best track from that era.
This will always be his best.
ScottBailey only ever good song. played by claude young in vienna in 2008! was great leaving england back then after all business was done.
Please stop
Horrendous isn’t it.
