“Christmas put people under pressures/Don’t you see that Santa and Satan have got the same letters”

Macka B – Christmas Cancelled 5.9mb

George sent me a load of Streetfighter 2 mp3s. It’s a popular sample. The first one that springs to my mind for me is DJ Pogo scratching ‘Yoga Flame’ over Courtney Pine’s Underground album. Here’s a few more:

When Crazy Titch isn’t appearing on Dubplate Drama he has been known to rap over Street Fighter bootlegs.

Crazy titch riding STREETFIGHTER 1.5 mb

This is taken from the Street Fighter 2 instrumental album. Garish anime theme-style reworkings of music from different stages. I think this is the info on the LP. My favourite’s Zangeif’s stage:

Street Fighter Instrumental Album – Zangief 4.4mb
Street Fighter Vocal Album – Zangief Terror! Vacuum Man!!.mp3 4.6mb

Quite embarrassing track from Simon Harris’ 1994 12″ all about Streetfighter under the name The World Warrior. He doesn’t list it on his site’s discography and seems like he’s into house music now: “Play at home or in the arcade!”

Simon Harris – Psycho Crusher 4.6mb

Finally here’s an official picture of Ryu and Ken that nicely sums up the homo-erotic subtext of their relationship.

Somewhere in the shallows of history. Prison courtyard. Accordions playing. Photographers dancing like stop frame animation. Coffins being unloaded in the background. High walls spinning round…

Ukrainska Selska Orchestra – Newelnik (Prisoner Waltz) 4.6MB

Accordion player gets a bow in the eye from the fiddler. Starts bleeding orange. Thrasing around. Can’t see. Follows the sound of clanking chains. Fingers turn into crayon smudges. Soon they’re leaving movement lines in the air. The chase…

Ranma 1/2 – Baka 2.4MB

The switch from photo to animation causes a rupture in the fabric. Coming thru the ghost of a dead class that haunts the back ends of galaxies and the space between old concert halls. It feeds on planets. Touches the arctic ports first, devouring pack ice. Moving south. Marshes melting. Trees burning…

Hyatari – The Light Carriers 8.7 MB

Planet blows up. Universe in negative. The End

Was going to post heavy Japanese free jazz today, but video capture equipment on the blink means that will have to wait til next week. Meanwhile here are a couple of fine mixes to download:

Firstly, via Japanese-Based Music Forest, a fresh Drum and Bass mix with old and new from Calibre, D:Kay, Klute etc. Available here
Music Forest also directs us to Schika who hosts parts 1 to 11 of Aphex Twin’s analord 12″ series. Directions here

Gusset provides a link to a very ethereal mix by DJ Municiple, here. The mix weighs in at 116 MB so be prepared.

Just like with strangely dead-eyed newsreaders, if you watch the Commander-in-Chief with the sound off you get to see what’s really going on. Where do those smiles keep coming from? If you use the mute button right you get to see the vast and secret inner workings of the world.
