KOTT - The Silence EP

[Avoneer]

Hi All,
Managed to find this site by accident.
I am one half of KOTT and it was cool to see our record still mentioned on here and that people still play it!
We recorded it on a Sunday morning way back in 1993 after an all-nighter at Bowlers (Trafford Park).
Probably the only two things I can remember about that day was recording it in a corridor as the main studio was full and we couldn't get a nice enough hit from the bass drum, so we put a breeze block in a towel and smacked it on the wall and sampled it and overlayed it with the normal bass drum.
Best moment was when Bowlers was packed full (5000+) and they played my record and I was bouncing around shouting this is my tune. Not sure anyone believed me though.
Cheers,
Pat...

welcome to OSA fella. Wicked Tune! ree-spek

Sure you'll fit in well on here, sunday mornings are usually our most creative period too

Here's the thing:

We originally pressed 1000 copies, but my mate who copied the original DAT missed off the 1st drum beat which resulted in a 7 drum beat intro to Time Too Let Go. These original ones only had a white label.

So we pressed another 1000 copies which had the full 8 drum beat intro and also the label. Done so the spindle on the record pokes right out of the mans undone fly!

We also scratched "Respect to Life" (as in Bowlers) on one side of the original master (on the runout) and "Time To Let Go" on the other side as I was trying to get over my ex bird who dumped me on Xmas eve.

I only have about 40 of the original white's left with one drum missing.

RetroAndy - just round the corner living in Dewsbury now (small world and all that).

Apart from the tape fulls of un-released tunes and DJ mixes we did (used to work at Monroes and did some work for Escape) we did one more demo about 6 years ago. Managed to get a few copies out to a few people, but lost the interest to put in all the work getting it out there.
