Melodramatic instrumental hip hop from mid '90s Dublin. Deep Burial released a split 12 inch with Decal and then went on to release this full album. Tim from Deep Burial is currently part of the excellent doom dub folk duo Melodica Deathship.
This release was one of the first times I became aware of people making electronic music in Dublin. Decal was Alan O' Boyle and Dennis McNulty who had already been in a number of indie guitar bands. This was their debut album released on their own ultramack label. They went on to release an impressive catalogue of music on a whole host of other labels including Rotter's Golf Club, Planet Mu, Satamile, Trama Industries, Leaf, Law & Auder, Lo Recordings and D1 Recordings. Electronic music doesn't get much more warm, laid back and blissed out than this.
This tape was given away free at "There's Gonna Be Some Rockin' which was a tribute to the music of AC/DC that took place in The Funnel on St. Patricks Day 1999. The tracks are original compositions by some of the bands that took part. There are some recordings of the gig but they should only be listened to after a day of drinking.
