Get Brutal
Nitro Deluxe - Let's Get Brutal [COOLD 142 UK 1987 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]
Diving deeper into a box of twelves, I pulled out this dusty old school classic, give it a good clean and relived those early days of instrumental house music. This record is a genre crossing electronic classic which seems to have become a much overlooked gem over the years.
Pinned down by a simple drum machine beat, percussion samples from Hamilton Bohannon's Let's Start The Dance and an incredibly simple but effective synthesizer hook, Let's Get Brutal morphed from a 1986 import rarity on Cutting Records into a hit house single around the world, where it was sometimes known as This Brutal House.

ReplyDeleteH acid ENDA!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe TR-808 makes a very precise click sound during the attack of the kick (depending on how it's tuned) and the rimshot, so you have to be careful when declicking around those sounds. On the B-side, your technique all but obliterated the impact of the break at 2:30. Next time, only declick the spaces in between each transient, or just leave the surface noise in.
ReplyDeleteSame story with the declicking effect on the A-side, although not as bad there. But for example, check how one of the kicks at 2:19 gets inexplicably muffled. It's not that way on the record.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice. My copy was a much played old favourite and it was 'brutal' work preparing my rip.
